Amazing haul!!!!!!
Last week a lady posted in our Exchange Section. She had just moved to California and decided that with her eyesight failing and wanting to spend more time on her other crafts.....spinning and knitting....... that she wanted to unload her cross stitch stash. she said she did not want to post it so anyone in the Northern California area could have it for free. Free!!!!!! That was something that sounded good. I was thinking maybe a box or 2 of stuff. Oh know I went over today and she filled my car, trunk, back seat the whole thing. Wow I was shocked at all of the stuff she gave me. Of course it was 3 hours over an 3 back but I will say it is more then worth it.
I have not had the time to really look at all the goodies but what a wonderful pile I have to play with. 2 stands 5 or 6 binders of complete magazines and that is just skimming the top. Tomorrow I am going to really dig in and see what all I have in there. I feel like I have had the most amazing fortune!!!!!!

Poor woman having to feel she can't carry on. What a terrible shame.
On the other hand - you lucky thing, Rose. Hope you'll do something nice for her.
Regards,
Richard

Re: Amazing haul!!!!!!
Right now I am just sort of pulling it all out and putting it into piles of like items. There is a ton of stuff and it was all mixed and matched in the boxes. I can understand as she was moving across country. So as of now my stitching room is a disaster. Here are some pics of what is there
Scroll bars and parts for the stands that you saw in the first pictures.
7 Binders plus a pile of charts and kits.
Aida fabric, Needles, and other small stitching gadgets.
Linens, evenweaves, and 2 needle organizers and afghan materials
Chart pamphlets and stamped kits
A ton of threads and most is DMC but some anchor and other random stuff
And some one needs to tell me what this is. There are 3 and I have no idea

Re: Amazing haul!!!!!!
I felt bad when you said she was unloading all her xstitch stuff because of poor eyesight, but I felt better when you said she wanted to focus her time on other hobbies.. .so Woohoo! what a haul!
I spotted those in the first picture with the frames and wondered what they are. I have no idea, but when someone tells us, I'm sure we'll thump our foreheads and say "Of course!"

O, Wow! That must have felt like heaven!
Re: Amazing haul!!!!!!
Wow what a wonderful find.
I don't know what the gadget could be as far as cross stitch is concerned, but it looks like a double pointed needle holder for socks in progress like this: http://www.knitzi.com" target="_blank
