I wasn't quite fast enough, a man bought two small cabinets full of thread while I was grabbing fabric and mats. LOL Oh well, he got them for his mom, I know her and she's a nice lady. Maybe I didn't really need thread after all.
The lady that owned the things I bought was a friend of mine that passed away from cancer late last fall. I took her to chemo treatments all summer. So now when I make a quilt from her fabric I'll be able to keep some of her with me. It will be a comfort. The only bad thing is that she, her son, and her sister all lived together and all smoked. I have to get that fabric in the washer FAST.
