What a birthday present! Fusible fleece works well in table runners.

What a nice birthday surprise! How sweet of them. I bet they'll be getting a nice thank you letter!
DH really is not happy? Would he rather you be out spending money??? As long as you're not already a hoarder, this booty should not make him cranky! |
why is your dh pissed, it didn't cost anything....

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? |
just explain that it is free and if you would have bought it all new today it would be in the hundreds of dollars. that is what i did with my sewing table i got for $5 from good will. he never said a word after I told him the price i paid and how much it would have been new,

FREE is my favourite 4 letter word! Hooray for you!
