That's Cool sounds like she was looking for a good home for all those goodies, glad she didn't just trash it. Send the yarn and later something made with the goodies shared.
Happy Quilting :)

What an awesome exchange!! Make something for her from some of the material just as a small thank-you gift a table runner, or a small lap quilt!! I'm sure she would love it!!

She is probably thrilled to find someone who really wants the fabric -- you know how we hate to throw out something that some one could really use and would love it like Mom did.

The trade may not seem equal, but she had no use for the fabric and you have no use for the yarn. You both were able to get rid of something that was taking up space in your house. You could always make her something from the fabric and send it to her.

I"m sure that since she is not a quilter, she thinks she also did great in the exchange, you got some great looking fabrics there :D

Lots of novelties! Do you make quilts for charity?
I once got a windfall of fabric like that, and still use it in things-Charity quilts and others for sale or gifts. Never look a gift fabric in the mouth!!! LOL!
