I had to tell all y'all this one. I knew you would be the only ones as excited as me..
While back, DH came home and told me one of his co-workers would be bringing me "some fabric." I really like this gal he was talking about. Super sweet. I've done some sewing for her in the past. Crocheted blankies for her baby last year. (even made an extra blankie when she told me the first one was the only thing that would soothe him to sleep. lol) She's fun to do things for because she Appreciates it, know what I mean? And she does things back too. My deep freeze has a nice load of venison because she told her husband we love venison. ;)
Anyway, so she's a pal, and she knows I sew a lot. Her mom used to sew all the time, but has pretty much given it up. She is cleaning out her stash. My pal said "I know where your stash can go and be used joyfully and well." Then she told DH that she was bringing it to me. ;D
Here's the kicker.... Ready??
A lot of the stash is Whole Bolts. It's of all sorts of weights, hands and fiber contents. All kinda good stuff. :) (and maybe some stuff that won't be so good, but who knows.)
Ready for the almost scary part??? She asked DH at work the other day if we would be home today, Sunday, in the afternoon. He said we would as far as he knew. She told him "Oh good. I will be able to use my husband's pickup truck Sunday. So that way I can get all the fabric over there in one trip." OMG!!!! There is enough fabric she needs the truck to bring it!!!!! (It's a full sized truck too, an F-150 IIRC.)
I promise if there is anything in the haul that I don't Love immediately, I will let y'all know, and I will pass it along to whoever does love it. ;)
Can you believe that? A whole truck full. I am so going to write her mother a Thank You card. And I will see if there is something I can do for my pal out of the stash too.
It's like Christmas/My Birthday all rolled into one and I feel 6 years old all over again. ;)
