i use to sew (made clothing) and craft a lot more than i do now. i gave all of my craft supplies to a school teacher friend and donated most of my fabric & patterns to women at church and a local girls organization. i was in the process of getting rid of the many containers i still had of fabric and it morphed into quilting, starting with making quilts for my family. now i have bins and bins of new fabric purchases but these purchases are for specific quilts to sell at craft shows and a few quilts to order. i plan to "use" it all. :thumbup:

My kids are going to have a time going through all my craft stuff if anything ever happens I can't craft any more. I have plastic totes full. Bolts of fabric. And so much other craft supplies. I would even hate to take a count on my fabrics.
