What you don't dispose of on the board you can give to the local senior center. I have taken many things to them and they act as if it is Christmas day, they are just so thrilled to have some of the things we no longer want or need especially any thing related to needle work.

The same thing happened to me before I moved. While going through boxes of un-remembered items found enough bear claw blocks to make a quilt. Lots of applique patterns of just about every imagineable. Some items I just wondered why in the world would I saved that. Laughing, laughing.

in minnesota, there is even a category for "seed art" in the entries, every year. (it's called "crop art", now) the entrants are, indeed, adults, who are very skilled. i don't know--maybe it's because we are a farm state. some of them are pretty remarkable, some are kind of amateurish. everybody starts somewhere, i reckon! http://blogs.citypages.com/dressingr...state_fair.php

cleaning out
Now this may not seem odd to you but I haven't seen things like this since kindergarten. Seed pictures for real??? And my question to myself is Where did I get all this STUFF??? I am finding old pieced blocks (ok that one I can kinda understand) Bunches and bunches of iron on transfers, Blocks that have been partially painted, old patterns , old magazines. oy vey. If I close my eyes will it go away if I wish real hard. lol

nah--don't apologize! every year we are flabbergasted by the talent there--and by the sometimes awful stuff that gets in. it is art, after all--art is made to bring about a strong reaction, whether positive or negative...kind of like some of those quilts we make, and then question our own sanity in the choices... and like barbarasue said, check out the mitchell corn place! now that's some crop art!!!
