Allison- I Love the idea of "fabric migrations"- traveling within a sewing circle, then being sent out to someone in another state, and so on.
NoiseyNana- Be careful you don't get overwhelmed. I'd hate to see you on Hoarders, pinned down by a pile of fabric! You might need a mansion and a stable of washing machines. I was gifted some fabric and batting and it came with silverfish! Now all fabric goes straight into the washer.

I sometimes wish we could radio tag some of the fabric in our stashes, and then follow it around as it gets traded from one person to the next. Maybe we could get a grant and get David Attenborough to do a TV special on "fabric migrations" through the generations...

Can you believe it? I have never been to her house as I don't drive well anymore. But she said she has 4 storage buildings full of nothing but fabric and she needs to clean out. I was so shocked that I forgot to take pictures. BUt next time I will not fail. hehehhehee

I live in Western Arkansas and would love to be your friend! I met another board member from here, we are becoming friends....the more the merrier....AND I still drive!!
