Surprise, surprise, a girl told me her DH & FIL were just about to send her deceased MIL's quilting & craft supplies to a thrift store, but if I was interested, I could take what I want. Good God, she came to work with her little car jammed full! So far I've counted 98.5 yards of just cottons!!! There's also 11 yards of a very pretty decorator fabric (she must have been planning on making curtains); 20 yds of solid white or offwhite; 6 yds of Wonder Under (hope it's still good!); 2 bags of poyfil (always handy); 1 queen size quilt batt (poyester); a big pile of large, half-square triangle quilt blocks in red/white & black/white plaids; some denim, some unbleached canvas, miles of muslin, A tiny Omnigrid traveling cutting mat, and several yards of fusible fleece. Coincidentally, this was given to me on my birthday! I'm still counting....I might be half way through the pile. I plan to wash & press....that should take me about a year! On the down side, DH is really ticked off. (Get over it.) Can anybody tell me what types of things people use fusible fleece for? Fantastic Windfall!! So happy for you :thumbup: re DH: make sure he has clean jammies, kiss him goodnight and tuck him in his "Bankie"......then go have fun! |

J.Davis you are just to funny! Happy Birthday, probably belated as I am never up on the current postings of the quilt board.
Lucky you to have so many goodies, I have no idea where I would be able to squirrel even half that much stuff, but I would sure give it a good try. Enjoy it all. |

DH should be jumping for joy that you did not "pay" for this much stuff!
Fusible fleece is good for bags, I prefer Deco Bond. It is thinner and still gives a lot of support, but not "stiff". |
