Tell him fabric is much cheaper than paying for therapy or a divorce.
Oooooh! Don't even go there!
Thank for the fusible fleece ideas, everyone!

Yes, I am indebted to her....I don't yet see a particular project happening, except possibly a baby or lap quilt made with primarily 30's reprints. If I had my own longarm machine, I would make something bed-sized. But I don't have the budget to pay for the quilting for that size.

Nice birthday gift.
Thanks for the pointer!

What an optimist you are! I will not tell you what his comment was.

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!
DH used to be appreciative that I could create something nice as opposed to buying retail like the rest of the "sheep."
Since I have fallen in love with quilting, his viewpoint has changed. 'nuf said.
Yes, they will get a thank you card, maybe a pan of brownies, and something made from the stash, as soon as I can.

I can't tell DH I won't be spending since I got this haul! I need a backing for my brother's wedding gift! And I don't see anything fitting in this new collection! :cry:

That might work, but I don't think I want DH to know that there's over 160 yards (and still counting) in the new collection.
