It has come to my attention that whenever I have to figure out a problem with my quilting.....come to this site. The people here (men and women) seem to always have an answer. My question: Has anyone found a good "sewing" use for those socks that lost or outlived their partner? I must have hundreds of single socks, all fabrics, all colors, all shapes. I keep sacking them up and "hoarding them away" in a cupboard. I could sure use that cupboard for other things. Got any ideas?

Applique them onto blocks and make a quilt out of them? :D:D:D

Sock monkeys or other sock animals. Sock puppets, use them for polishing furniture.
Or fill them with beans and sew the end up and make bean bags for a bean bag toss game. |
Found a site: www.themismatchedsock.com. Looks like it may be a charitable organization starting up January lst. Will be looking into it.

I would like to know where the mate goes. I think there are sock abductors that come in the middle of the night and take them. I am also curious to hear what to do with them.

If they are white, they make snowmen, just put about a cup of rice in the bottom, add fiberfill, gather, and put in fiberfill, gather, put in smaller fiberfill, gather at the top or add a cap. embroider features, and voila, Snowman
