i'm off to stashing smashing! i need to make at least 2 table runners, 2 pincushions and 2 pin/needle cases. years ago i used to go dumpster diving, and it's the same principal-- you throw yourself in, wide open to whatever might be there to inspire you! found a piece of quilters' candy in strawberry, but it reminds me of a favorite bird friend. yay, it's in my stash! all paid for!! hey, irish! i knew i could make you proud! not even thinking about what i'll need to buy to go with it! lolol
