Ygerna Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Someone offered 'fabric' on Freecycle (or whatever it is now) and I was lucky enough to be the recipient. I have now collected a bin bag full of fabric pieces. Apparently it used to belong to the chaps Grandmother who was a quilter. I have been going through it like it is Christmas all over again Some of the fabric will find its way into the quilt I am doing at the moment, as its very in keeping with the colours anyway. The rest will have to wait but I am SO excited. Feeling a lucky bunny right now, had to share hope you don't mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ygerna Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Come on a picture of your windfall Ok, photos later. It gets better too, I sent a little email, thanking him because I really appreaciate all the fabric and he has replied that he may have lots of fleece too, some of it on rolls 'in case I am interested' I replied back with what I hope was not undue haste and excitiment say that I would love some He's going to get back to me. I feel that I should bake a loaf of bread and take some eggs as a thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Fab fab stash! I have too much and I wonder if that will happen to my bits before I get to use them! Now a s"Ooops, word censored!"py quilt would look lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Just been watching this and thought of you. I'm afraid I have the Quilt in a Day bug and exploring her website. The fabric bag!!!!! If you go on the "From S"Ooops, word censored!"s to Quilts Series" it's very interesting - I didn't know about some of the things (as long as you ignore the tweeeeeee ness). And a particular piece stuck out at me - a quilt being made over 50 years - so I have a long way to go yet before I reach that record! ) http://quiltinaday.com/theater/library.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I laughed when my friend moved house recently as she was worried her fabric and wool stashes might be discovered!!! She now has a craft room to store her stuff in and her husband turned a blind eye!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
