Three bottles of bourbon.
It would take three boxes of liquor for me to get through all of that................. :) :)

Everything unwanted and smaller than that was given away. Small! But there were tons of people who wanted them. It takes a long time for a scrap quilter to have enough scraps to give away, but I feel so clean and happy now.

I don't really have that much stash in the sewing room---it is the cluttery "things" that I have accumulated through the years that I can't get rid of because they remind me of who gave them to me or I remember where I was when I got it and who was with me!
