and a couple of boxes from someone else. I love to receive the fabric, get to look at it, sort it, and pass it on. The big problem is that nearly everyone wants me to keep the fabric until she is ready to use it. I know where to give most of the fabric that we can not use; it is the good fabric that quilters want me to keep until they are ready. My house is overflowing with fabric. I am going to get serious about the problem and find good places for the fabric soon so I can regain my home. I like the idea of making simple kits.
THIS! THIS! This is exactly what I was trying to say. I, too, love to receive the fabric, sort it, pass it on. It's the good stuff that I'm hanging onto for the chapter that makes my sewing room unmanageable and me unproductive. I know this is a good problem to have, but still.
Thank you for your words, I really appreciate it!
