To be utterly thrilled at having found

[fridakahlo]

Not one, not two, not three but FOUR books of fabric samples that were being thrown out by a local interior design company.
I use random pieces of fabric for crafty and arty stuff and now I have enough to last me for years

jealous!

[grr]

Bless you I too would be thrilled

Not my sort of thing, fabric, (unfortunate experience with little cus and sewing machine playing updated version of sleeping beauty, we didn't have a spinning wheel and I didn't realise it wouldn't prick her once and then get stuck) a but hey - total respect to a fellow hunter gatherer!

but hey that would set me up for ages too. Very happy find! I think yanbu

Lisaro-youch, I take it stiches were required?
Not that I use a sewing machine, if I sew I do it by hand but I also use it for collaging and other stuff too.

Nope - no stitches though my backside was red for days!! Her nail has never been quite the same either.
