QUILT INSPIRATIONS
Browsing thru a book again..... Carol Sterbenz spoke of Inspiration...... as a collision of what I desire, the talent I possess and my imagination!
... So you may know I'm the ultimate garage sale // yard sale // Estate Sale shopper... Any antique store that can be browsed.... I'll find it. So I collided with a fantastic fabric find.... Unusual stuff, kinda of an eclectic looking white lady was dismantling collections of stuff. When I picked up two - three sets of fabric tossed carelessly in a box -- she said "the big pieces are $3.00 each... $1.00 for the rest. It's from Africa".
When I continue to show like interest and browse around.... I keep a careful eye on who else walks up on the driveway and might see the fabric. So... I go back... and the sale is made. She was overcharging on several little items. I put them back --- paid out $6.00 and literally ran! I sensed she knew she had understated..... kinda wanted to change price.... But I ran. BARGAIN OF THE YEAR I'D SAY

This was over six yards..... and yes quality. Not smelly, not stained. Strength in the fabric content. Definitely not a JOANN waxy fabric from China.... I know my fabric feel!! It actually has a pinkish tint surrounding the pale yellow and green.... again - not the commercially printed deep orange/yellow/green at Joanns Fabric Store.
I'd say authentic since my brother and son have given me fabric from their visits to the African continent/Military travels!
