My second blog today. But I had to record this... I mentioned earlier today that I was going over the road and a few doors along to visit a pal who is destashing....
What an incredibly generous lady. She agreed to my original offer, but when I got home and had a play in the rather large bag, I doubled my offer and paid it before she could object.
About half of the pieces in the bag are batik, you know I love batiks. Many of those are over a meter, one is a very generous two meters. There are fat quarters, off cuts, and even a panel to make a very cute quilt.
WOW!
Take a look.
This piece is about 1 meter.
Another big piece.
Two half meter cuts.
These two Christmas fabrics are half meter cuts. They both have a lump missing, but that is ok.
A skinny off cut.
A fat Quarter.
Three more FQ.
A beautiful Japanese dragonfly FQ
And a bunch of leafy browns and golds.
The horse fabrics are about a half meter, one is a little bigger.
A collection of kiwiana. Mostly long thin pieces, not skinny quarters, thinner than that.
A whole layer cake and a charm pack.
And some left over layer cake pieces.
More not quite FQ off cuts.
And more....
The lighter green below is a half meter cut. The darker piece with white butterflies is a Japanese Tana. A half meter.
And some off cuts.
A huge purple triangle.
A huge piece of blue check.
I got the deal of the Millennium!
And what a cute panel.
I just need to find a coordinating fabric and follow the instructions.
I saved the best for last...
It looks like not much in this image, I'll spread it out a little...
Some random shapes and off cuts. That piece with the purple splodge is a half meter cut.
There is a meter cut of this one, look at the chain stitch all over the swirls.
A bunch of FQs.
And some more FQs...
A big pile of golden off cuts in all shapes and sizes.
Then the big pieces...One is over 2 meters.
On the left are the 1 meter or larger pieces and on the right the half meter pieces.
Oh my goodness. I can't stop looking at it all, stroking and folding and stroking and refolding...
You know how it goes.
I might keep it here by my chair for a day or three. LOL
I'm not ready to put it all away just yet. LOL
A bit of a reshuffle will be required to get the batiks away, that drawer is pretty full already.
I really need to get some quilts made.

Oh, my goodness! You really hit the jackpot!!
There is so much good stuff here, but as a fellow lover of batiks, I can appreciate how much you want to keep it out and stroke it. :)
And that panel will make a cute quilt and matching stuffie.
I recognize a couple of the kiwiana fabrics as designs I brought home with me, after our shopping together.
And I have to add that the bunny and hedgehog cupcakes made me laugh.
What a haul! And how fun for you.
WOW! What a great collection. Have fun. xx
That is like finding a treasure chest. What a lovely collection of fabrics. Have fun!
What a score! You won't have to go quilt store shopping for ages!
That is quite some haul. Yes, she was very generous. Won’t you have a lovely time with them all.
That’s a great pile of fabrics to add to your stash.
Now you just need time to turn them into quilts…
Such beautiful fabrics, and I'm sure that whatever you paid, you got a great bargain. And your friend will be pleased her goodies are going to be appreciated by a fellow quilter.
What a great haul of fabric I love the cute piece with the cupcakes, have fun with them
I love the piece with the cute cupcakes, definately a great score of fabrics

You scored big time! Nice selection of fabrics to play with.
Hi Lou - I've been away & am just catching up on posts. I think you got the "treasure of the year" with those gorgeous fabrics. I would be patting them too!
Fantastic haul Lou, love the hedgehog cupcakes!
