A couple weeks ago, a friend contacted me. Their family member’s mother-in-law had passed away, and they were looking to find a new home for her quilting supplies. Would I be interested? Of course I would.
It didn’t compare to mine or Mom’s stash, but it was still enough to overflow my dining table. As luck would have it, I took possession a couple of day before Mom was set to arrive for a visit. So I waited to go through it all until she arrived. (That was hard!)
I won’t show you all of it, but Mom and I had lots of fun splitting it all up between us. There were quite a few kits, and I sent most of those home with Moms, though I did keep a few for myself.
There were several bundles of lovely coordinated yardage that I kept.
I was very excited by some flannel yardage. A beautiful butterfly print in two different shades. And enough yardage for backing – you know I love a good flannel back!
I also snagged this portable cutting/ironing board and a giant triangle ruler!
But the real prize….
A large Laurel Birch Cats Tote bag, with several pieces of Laurel Burch Cats fabric! You can see, Burton was super excited about that score!
Mom got sent home with several kits, some beautiful yardage, a jelly roll, a couple books and big bag of batting! We didn’t need any of it, but we’re happy to have it!

While it’s sad that the lady has passed away, you and your mother have some great stuff!
I carry an old Laura Burch tote; given as a gift, and it’s indestructible.
I’d look for a newer one, like yours, but until I’ve found one, I keep using my old standby.

It was like Christmas for you and your Mom! I’ve had a few of those injections of yarn from various people for different reasons. It’s always fun to explore the new things. LBB looks excited about that tote. 🙂
Blessings and hugs,

She had some really great taste!!! When I “inherited” from Dad’s lady friend it was pretty outdated stuff. Most got tossed. You both really lucked out. That fabric is to die for.

Beautiful stash enhancement. I love Laurel Burch; I had a lot of Laurel Burch earrings back in the day. (Don’t make me figure out which decade that was!)
