Connie, how wonderful to get decent fabrics for charity sewing...so often organizations get old drapes, worn sheets etc and expected to make "quilts" from them...yes they make sleeping pallets for the homeless, but there are families in homes that can use a warm quilt...
Okay I fell off a bit too. A gal came into the shop with 3 large bags of deconstructed denim..well laundered and sorted by lights and darks. Yes I brought them home....Then guild friends have been cleaning out and I have acquired 4 large boxes of scraps. Sorting this does take time, but have it pretty much under control...but do I need this. I have a hard time saving "no". Yes much will go for charity sewing, but you have to have time...bonus is when I retire I have a scrappy stash to work with
. Another plus is, I bought this neat Fallscapes panel from workplace because it looks like land we own...only 2/3 of a yard and will not hoard it. Low and behold in one box were squares of fall fabric...enough to make a few flying geese on a border and some different, but matching 2 1/2" strips for binding...have first panel done...now working on the second...these are anniversary gifts for DD and DS who were both married in the fall. Not often will you find a scene that will remind them of home...here's link to the fabric.
