Feeling lighter
Like most of you I religiously saved my scraps until I had boxes of them. But I realized yesterday, on looking at these boxes, that I rarely use them. I have only made one scrap quilt and decided that I am not a scrap person. I need structure. I need to see patterns flow through the quilt. And I love to shop for fabrics when I decide to make something. So I bundled up all my scraps and am taking them to a group where I live that makes scrap quilts for homeless children. Many of them go to the police department to give to children when the police have to respond to a family situation. All my scraps are gone and I admit to feeling a little anxious but so much lighter in my mood when I open the door to my scrap cabinet and see it's clean.
