Both things in that title are sweet!! Last week there was a fabric estate sale. The ad said 4000 yds, of fabric😮. That my sweeties is a LOT of fabric! Of course I went, LOL. And of course I bought! There was quilting fabric(we'll get to that in a moment), garment fabric, lace, yarn, thread, canvas, upholstery, flannel, quilt books and yarn. The quilting fabric was $5 per pound. I didn't buy any of the other stuff so I don't remember what that was. Gobs and gobs of simplicity type patterns that were free. She had been collecting/sewing for 60 years they said. The bittersweet is that she past away last fall I heard. I didn't know her, but I hope she will appreciate my purchase and uses. Here is what 50 yards of fabric all folded and stacked looks like. Yep that is what came home with me. I will use a lot of it for backings. It ended up being $1.50 a yard. I couldn't pass that up!
And now for the finish, a sweet cupcake runner. Wouldn't this be perfect to use for a birthday party, or to give someone on their birthday. This is from my own design and if you are a follower you might have seen some like it before. I like using these fun colors for these.
It would be so fun if I had a birthday cake to stage with it! But I don't so the flowers will have to do.
I love it when I find the perfect backing in my stash with just enough fabric to fit.
