Fabulous Fabric Donation

A few months ago a woman named Tara posted on our neighborhood Facebook page that she had a lot of fabric for sale. My friend Erinn copied me on the post and suggested to Tara if she had any extra she might like to donate it to Green Bag Lady. I kinda forgot about it and then Erinn came up with the idea of her Girl Scout troop making bags for Earth Day. I remembered Tara's fabric and thought some of it might be great for the girls to make bags so I contacted her again.

Much to my surprise, Tara still had a ton of fabric left and was willing to give it all to Green Bag Lady. What???? It is soooo beautiful. Most of it is quilting cotton and there are even a few bolts (upper left). WOW! Tara is awesome. Not just for donating fabric, but she was so fun to meet, has a great dog and the prettiest dining room table I've ever seen. :)

I mean, look at all of this…
 And, she gave me this huge roll of strapping that is perfect for handles…
 And, a whole bunch of trim! Maybe there will be some pom pom bags in the future??
I just had to share all this prettiness with you. There will be many future freebies out of this. I've already sewn up some for the Girl Scouts. More on the Girl Scout event later. I can't wait! Thanks again Tara, you are the absolute BEST! Teresa
