    Congrats to you, I just got to thinking, I hope my DH doesn't have a yard sale with my fabric when I pass on or maybe I do seeing as how none of my 6 kids are interested in quilting!! Just think some lucky quilter cold post pics of her lucky find if he did!!
    At least if he has a garage sale, you'll know that someone who appreciates fabric will get it. I prefer a garage sale than filling the garbage cans and placing it at the curb.

    Guess whoever was selling all that fabric was not a quilter! Think my Kids would do that with what I have me too!

    I agree with Rachel, how did you leave with only 2 totes? What a deal of the century. Let the stitching begin!!
