starters stash

What a blast from the past!!  I have spent the last few days, whenever I had a spare moment, getting all my old, old  fabrics sorted & bundled up nicely. And then I just wasn't too sure what to do with them all next !
We had a bit of a discussion at our last Monday Modern group about fabric & who would want/need/use my mis-mash of fabrics, you know ..."one man's trash is another man's treasure," etc.
So, with that old saying in mind, I decided I would  try & see if anyone did indeed want any fabric I no longer wanted !!!    I signed up on Trade Me, a first for me, & away I went  ........... "24 bundles of assorted fabric, approx. 20 different fabrics in each bundle, dating back as far as 1986. Selection ranging from minimum size of 1/8th to fat 1/4, some used, some untouched. Ideal instant starters stash or perfect for vintage, scrap or charity quilts.  To be sold as one lot." 
Here they all are.....


And a few close ups........




Pop on over to Trade Me to watch the fun!!
It's so exciting!!!

  3. Hi Linda ( and Friends) I am Ruth the winner of the Stash, what a perfect beginners stash it is, I was blown away by the fabrics, 2 hours just spent looking at them and feeling them. I am a new Quilter, in fact I had just done one Block Quilt as a trial to see if I liked it (used a friends machine). Loved it so much went and bought a mid range machine and started looking on Trade Me for fabric, bamn my timing was perfect and LINDA was a doll with making things so easy and dropping a couple of extra items ( including mags which I needed as one contains beginner tips :P) SO a WIN WIN for both of us. Now I can hardly wait to get back home (actually on holiday in tauranga atm ) and zoom zoom stitch. PS Even Hubby is happy :)
