I read an article recently about someone who put the scraps in a wired container and hung it so she could see it from her window. She said for the first week nothing. Then all of a sudden she saw a bird picking out some. Was being real fussing about which strips he/she (bird) wanted. Then before you knew it there was bird after bird. She said it was so much fun to watch that now she just wants to chop fabric and not have to wait for scraps. So I am going to do that next spring and see what happens.

Lucy, .
That is so neat. I am going to call my local shelter and see if they need beds or blankets. I have so many scraps. :shock: And I am not a scrap sewer. Just the selvages I collect. So maybe I can use my scraps for the shelter somehow. Too bad I don't know anyone localy doing the same thing and the lady you heard of. I guess I could also check with my local quilt shops. Be nicer if someone else would sew and make them. Would get done a lot quicker! :wink:
Good Info! :D
