Fun stuff Connie! I have a collection of Peanuts fabrics that I keep thinking of how to use/maybe I should send on to someone else, I think something like that might be the solution! Think it would especially help de-holiday the many holiday themes.
So for today's installment of As the Feathered Star Turns -- the family is feeling really tired and discouraged and are planning to have professionals come in. Everything (deaths/life changes) too fast and too hard and too long distance. Poor things.
On the other hand, yesterday was absolutely beautiful and the Tuesday Quilt Group had pizza party day! From back before the hubby and I changed our eating habits we had a lot of pizza points that were due to expire... two free large specialty pizza's worth of points. We are still meeting outside and had the pizza delivered to the yard
When I bought the auction of thread, one of the things that came with it was basically a completed lap top (needs small seam repair) with a camper theme. Is terribly cute and I said to myself "that has Quilt Lady Andy all over it" (just like the Judy Niemeyer was tossed to me). Andy's been busy and we don't get to see her every week, her husband passed last year and she and her daughter found the perfect property at the worst time that they are making wheelchair accessible for the daughter -- anyway, turns one of her dear camper friends just started chemo and this will be perfect for that. So I got that project reduced out of my stash, for someone who needs an easy project to make a comfort quilt for a cancer patient. Score all around!
And, from a private discussion based on the influxes of fabric in my life -- I sent out a flat rate box of assorted fabrics. It wasn't the plan or goal, but it was an easy box to fill and weight wise at least, I'm currently at neutral in terms of fabric in/out!
I don't think I'm on the edge of another purge cycle, but I am actively asking myself "are you
really going to use that in the next 5 years??" as I go through my boxes looking for stuff. Some stuff/me is admitting that it isn't going to happen...
