Not sure where to post, but the day before my surgery my best friend took me to breakfast and look at all the material she gave me. Some of these are 3 or 4 yards plus 4 garbage bags full of batting. How can I repay her.

I'm sure she wasn't expecting anything! A neat wall hanging for the season would be nice if you want to do something. Or table runner. So many seasonal things coming up soon!! And you are lucky to have such a great friend!!

Dear Cindy, that's a great gift from your friend. I love all the Christmas coloured fabrics. Maybe make her a Christmas apron! DIY Dish has a great design. Love Chris

Apparently you have a really good friend and to have a really good friend, you must BE a really good friend. I suspect you must be. ;)

What a special friend she is indeed. I bet you will find something special and make it just for her, as if the fabric and the project are calling you to do it - when you are able and not before.

Yes Shirlene she is very special. We have been through so much together.

Good additions to your stash, Cindy. I'd be inclined to make her a bag that she could use -perhaps one of those fabrics might supply the lining. You would know better what she might like. You probably helped her with a cleanout, as well :)

Finish something she started. Embroidery and make a nice throw pillow. Lots of things are possible. I know your gratitude because recently I had a friend unable to quilt anymore who gave me all her stash./Lillian

Lillian, I like the idea of a throw

What a nice thing for her to do. I agree with the others. Make her something that she could use- hot pads, pin cushions????

Thank you very much, Chris, for the apron pattern link.
I would make a a nice bookcover for her Bible or her telephone book. Using some of the material she gave you, so generously (you are sooo spoiled lol) will show her your appreciation. Hope you feel better soon. ****

You could make her some great 10 minute table runners - one for each season. It must have felt so good to have your good friend give you such a wonderful and useful gift.

Great friend. Looks as though you'll be busy for quite a while before using all this up. I'm sure your friend is not expecting you to gift her so make something you know she'll enjoy.

I think a small plaque with a sweet saying on it would be nice. Make it something that shows how you feel about her such as good friend or someone special. This was very nice of her to share her "stash"! Hope everything is alright!
