She has 3 fairly new grand babies and hasn’t been able to make things for them, I sent probably 15-20 yards of fabric, fleece, Minky, Terry, chenille, and flannel along with some patterns. Stuff that’s been taking up space that I never seem to get around to using. I still have lots, but maybe not a couple lifetimes worth anymore. I seem able to use more the more I give away- at some point maybe I won’t be embarrassed to have someone come into my sewing room. I’ve also made 95 masks now- I know there are people making thousands but I make 5-10 when ever someone I know asks for some, I’m going to start working on another scrap quilt tomorrow.
