Mom's Fabric Stash

This past weekend, I went to visit my mom. She had recently acquired lots and lots of fabric from a friend, so she told me that I could do some free fabric shopping from her stash. I had no idea, though, that I would be leaving with a giant canvas bag full of material. I thought "lots and lots" was an exaggeration. No. It was not. 

Here are the best of the best from what I brought home. Look how neatly stacked and folded they are! It was a shame to have to wash them and ruin the organizational beauty of it all. 

Gingham & Plaid

I already have a plan for these Gingham prints. Love them so much!

 

Dots and things

Stripes

And I'm a huge fan of polka dots and stripes, so these were great to beef up my collection.

 

Flowers

Random bits

It's a little hard to tell, but those owl fabrics are navy blue and purple. I like them a lot.

 

Sail Boats

Watercolor Flowers

Upholstery weight

 

Now, the question remains: Where the hell am I going to put these? Not that would stop me from taking them, of course. It's just that I just tidied the fabric shelves up. See?

Oh, wow! Everything looks so nice and organized - full of possibilities! How nice of your mother to share~
Can't wait to see what you make with all these!

Umm, how's your Mom's eyesight? I was hoping to swing by and see her, bring a coffee cake, pretend I was you, score some fabric...

LOL!

Nice haul!
