I have fabric from my mother, when I was a small girl. It is Bubble gum pink. I use it very sparingly. I will be 64 next month, so it is at least 50+ years old and like new.

While I have a huge stash of current fabrics (I'm thankful now that cotton has gone sky high!), I also have several small pieces of fabric from when my Mom made my clothes, etc. from the 40s and 50s. I actually used some of them when I was doing a "vintage" teddy bear project.

I picked up some really great vintage pieces from an estate sale and from another gal in need of cash that was selling much of her stash. I believe the oldest is the 30's and some definitely from the 40's. Great stuff. Have a lot of feed bags too.

I received from fabric from my grandmother that dates to around 1969.

The rest of my stash is not that old; maybe from the early 1990s

I bought some Pendleton wool at their outlet store in Washougal WA about 25 years ago. I have it in my cedar chest so the bugs won't get it. I really need to do something with it. It is absolutely beautiful wool.
