I've been thinking of starting a business similar to this. Does the lady do well? I'd love to talk to her if you wouldn't mind passing along her business name & number.

Enclosed utility trailers have been a hot theft item recently. So many of them are similar in appearance, without identifying signs, such as company names, making it easy to sell to unsuspecting buyers.

I was just thinking the same thing. We all have well seasoned stashes and if we each pick 2 - 4 fabrics to send it would at least help her start over. Keep us posted.

I was thinking the same thing :(

Same here but I guess it wouldn't bring back the hard work involved. Sad for her.

If you are at a quilt show, keep your eyes open for any 'unscrupulous' looking people selling quilts - from a trailer! If the police can't catch them, maybe we can.
