Stash Raid!
Saturday Mom and I went to a quilter's yard sale and bought several
quilt tops. Today that lady's sister called Mom to invite us to a stash raid. Is she a sweetie or what? We had a nice visit and got to know more about her. She took a beginner's class in quilting when she retired at 60 years of age and has been quilting for 35 years now. We got to look through her picture record of the quilts she made, and one was a winner in a quilt show in Pensacola FL a few years ago. Mom and I have two big boxes of fabrics now, and the lady didn't want any money at all. I was floored by that. I have to store it here because Mom doesn't have enough storage space. It's a hardship I think I can live with. ;-D Debra in VA See my quilts at http://community.webshots.com/user/debplayshere |

Debra,
Where in VA do you live? I might have to stash raid at your house while you are at work. grin Juli "Debra" wrote in message ...

My work schedule changes weekly. I have a hard time keeping up with it myself sometimes. You never know when you might get a chance to look at some of it though. I plan to use some of it in HUG blocks. Debra in VA See my quilts at http://community.webshots.com/user/debplayshere |
