A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine brought several pieces of fabric that she didn't think she would ever use. It was like having a Christmas gift in July!
I pressed them and sorted them into stacks of solids and prints. Most were at least one yard in length, one even being five yards long, and as you can tell, several still had the paper wrapped around them.
My thoughts were whizzing! Aprons?
Backings for baby quilts?
No gift could have pleased me more, so I gave one of my full aprons to her.
Isn't it nice when people share!

What a delightful gift Charlotte. I don't know anyone who will put them to better use than you. I can't wait to see what your creative spirit comes up with!
ReplyDeleteThat was a wonderful friend to gift you with all that material! And it was nice of you to gift her with an apron! New material is always fun to play in! Enjoy! Nancy
ReplyDeleteMost excellent!!! Anxious to see what you do with them. Hint to the other readers here on your blog: the quilt tops you showed me the other evening were nothing short of delightul!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift! I'm sure you will make something wonderful from them too.
ReplyDeleteLucky you! I can't wait to see what lovely things you make!
ReplyDeleteYou will always think of your friend when you see these pieces in your work. I am looking forward to seeing where they turn up in your beautiful little quilts and aprons.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. I can just see what you will make out of all that fabric. I go crazy when someone gives me fabric. It is such a nice gift. I hope you are being blessed with some of this rain this summer.Hugs, Susie
ReplyDeleteI wanted to pop back over and tell you how sorry I am to hear you haven't had rain. It's either feast or famine clear across the country. We know what it's like. A few years ago we were in a drought for three years and everything dried up.We live in the Applachians in Western N.C. and it has been rainy since winter. We've had the wettest spring and summer since I can remember. But I try not to complain, God is the one with the plan and only he knows the reasons. I'm praying for ya'll to get rain really soon.. Hugs.
ReplyDeletewhat a grand gift...I need a friend like that!!
ReplyDeletelove your aprons that you have been making too...
pray you have rain soon!!!
Oh~ you lucky ducky!! I'll bet it did feel like Christmas~ I love nothing more that to be able to add to my fabric stash, too!!!
