We're about to close on a house (Tuesday)it's a sad little house in desperate need of a lot of love and renovation. It's going to be taking up most of our money for a few years to come. I was lucky enough that when we started looking for a house I knew I wanted one with a sewing room and I had NO fabric. There are some projects/techniques that I'm dying to try and I went on the board and asked if anyone had some scraps they wanted to get rid of so I could get a large enough assortment of scraps to do a scrap project. Quite a few very generous people were kind enough to send me what they consider scraps, usually just for the price of the postage, some didn't even want that.
God Bless them, because now I have enough that I can sit down and not worry about where the fabric is going to come from and I can start up quilting again. I'm thrilled that I'll be able to work with a nice assortment of colors and designs that I would never be able to afford if I had to go out and purchase them. I'm sticking strictly to sale fabrics and yard sale purchases and buying boxes of scraps on here. I have to admit I'd rather have a batch of tiny pieces to play with than a huge single piece that would give no variety.
