That too (the older books),..... thinking of getting rid of some, but not sure yet.

Too many 30s and hunting for more of them too.
It's like a personal obsession.

You could try stitching them into children's coveralls (find a cute pattern) and donate the finished pants to a homeless shelter or to a pre-school. Pre-schools need extra sets of pants for when little ones have accidents. If the fabric is truly hideous, the pants will find their way back to the school. And moms in a homeless/abuse shelter will gladly take anything to clothe their babies.

Free quilt patterns online. I must have printed a thousand patterns, templates and embroidery patterns that I got for free online. I'm OCD about it. If I can't get on the computer every day or two, looking for patterns, I start getting itchy.
