I am de-stashing today and through Sunday---if I can get done that fast!:>( It already feels better! Packed a tote full of fabric I will never use into 2-1/2 medium boxes so far.

It takes a long time for a scrap quilter to have enough scraps to give away, but I feel so clean and happy now.
It would take three boxes of liquor for me to get through all of that................. :) :)
That's what I was thinking. Hey, whatever it takes!

Just wait - those scraps are like rabbits. It won't be long before you have a whole bunch more.

That is what I need to do but don't know where to start. I did mail some off to Amarillo but that didn't make a dent. My DH is reorganizing his workshop and told me that my fabric totes had to go .
