I would have jumped on that Bernina like a duck on a June bug.

Iamquilter 01-23-2011 09:59 AM

Gee I wished I lived close by, thats exactly what I am looking for to make the charity quilts. I have an ad on craiglist but no luck so far.

Cor! Lucky duck.

Jo Mama 01-23-2011 01:40 PM

Wowser!! You sure did make out like a bandit. It reminds me of the 100% cotton fabric I bought at a recent garage sale. The fabric was on large bolts - about 54" wide and all sorts of solid whites, creams, light stripes, even a small blackwatch plaid all for about 10 CENTS A YARD. Isn't it great to stumble on these treasures??

Nanjun 01-23-2011 02:48 PM

You really made a haul. All of it looks real pretty.

Nice stash!

Anna.425 01-23-2011 10:47 PM

OMG! Did you have to fight off many people to get to it?

Quilter2B 01-23-2011 11:40 PM

Thats what I call a stash builder!!!! Good Snag!

jeanneb52 01-24-2011 03:29 AM

Happy dance happy dance. I hit a gold mine like that just once and I've searched for it many times again but the stash fairy only visits once I guess. Have fun.

Oddly enough, no -- the woman selling the fabric hasn't had many people come by to buy stuff. I was there all by myself picking through it all...

kacy 49 01-24-2011 01:37 PM

WOW you did good.

Anne T 01-24-2011 03:40 PM

WOW, great find. Waiting to see all the quilts waiting to happen.:)

rivka 01-24-2011 08:19 PM

Starting to work my way through the fabric and organize it now -- a significant portion of it says "Cranston Print Works" on it; they appear to be from the 1980's up through the mid-90's.

I'm not familiar with this company -- anyone know anything about it?

ConnieF 01-25-2011 12:38 AM

You struck a pot of quilter gold

dgrindey 01-25-2011 11:40 AM

I think I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the info.

I've used Cranston Print Works and it worked up beautifully. Just wash and press fabric before you use it.

I hope you sell some on here......!

babyboomerquilter 01-26-2011 05:40 PM
