    I hope they tell the former owner about the nice woman with a big smile who is giving that fabric a loving home!

    I think it is a great for all involved - you, the elderly quilt lady, and the family. All is good and I definitely would have gone back. That is what happened to me when I got two black garbage bags of 2 1/2 woolen strips for rugs or whatever. $2.00 a bag.

    Great score! I would not have felt guilty at all about going back at the end of the day. I would have just reminded hubby bow much $$ I was saving. Now he couldn't argue with that. Have fun with this new found stash and just think about how you helped out this family! And oh yes, remember to post pictures of your creations! :-)

    Good for you and I would have taken it all and then kept what I wanted and passed rest along, so many people want to quilt and cannot afford fabric at todays prices.

    You could have donated to a local church or guild for charity quilts.

    Sorry the lady had to move, but glad you are recipient of such a bounty of goodies.
    Sure would love to run upon such a great deal!

    Some day, when I am no longer able to quilt..I would be thrilled to have my fabric go to another quilter, rather than my 30 year old son who could care less...Both of you will be blessed with the projects you make from her fabric!
