It seems that it was sent from both of you straight from the heart. Enjoy it. Pass it forward.

Some of that yarn is really expensive. I know because I crochet also. Maybe she feels like what she sent you was not near enough for all that yarn you sent her. Sounds like a sweet deal to me. I love it!

I don't know much about yarn - but when my mom passed away we found boxes under her queen size bed with nothing but yarn in them - it filled 2 black lawn and garden bags...it was alot but I have no use for it....

I'm so excited - this was a great trade!

Sounds like a good deal for both of you. You received something you didn't expect and can use. She is recieving something she can use. Use and enjoy!

Do you know what's wonderful about this? It's a win-win for both of you. You off-loaded yarn you had no use for and she off-loaded fabric she had no use for. Now you'll both have lots to talk about on Facebook as you sew and she knits....wonderful way to re-connect!

Sounds like you both will come out with what you need. Great exchange.

I agree, a win-win! Enjoy!

The amounts do not have to be equal in anyway. The thrill that you experienced with your end will be just as high on her end. You are both forwarding on items that your mother's loved and giving them to someone who will appreciate and use them. Much better that they be forwarded than just sit around and have no use. And I am sure that both of your Moms would agree.

And youboth get the pleasure of knowing that something that was basically useless to you now has a new home where it will be used and appreciated as it should be. As your mom and hers would have wanted.

Just saw the pics!! Those Peanuts and other novelties are darling!!!!!!!!!! :D:D

I suppose that if you feel really guilty you could make her a table runner or candle mat. Hopefully she will not feel obligated to make you something. Maybe just accept the fabric graciously and thank her for her thoughtfulness. Enjoy because now she knows the fabric is being appreciated.
