Isn't it eye-opening to realize that all the schtuff we collect as we "just sew a bit and make a few things" adds up to so much in value and volume!
I started out with some scraps of muslin I had for crafting, because DH (D at the time, not any more) surprized me with a little Brother 270D embroidery/sewing machine and I made redwork squares because I LOVE redwork but won't spend the time to hand-do it -- Led to the dark red fabric to make the squares into a quilt; more threads for colored work; other fabrics for a Broken Dishes tablecloth; and Off We Went a-Running!!!
I think I have more in sewing/quilting than in any other category of my life.
Now it's going for friends and DGB - Dearest GrandBaby - and I buy very little any more - got it all by this time - but I'll never use all this stuff if I live to be 140.
