Weeeeellllllll; this is my first post and I will absolutely need to consider this. You see, I have Not purchased any fabric for 3 years But my stash is growing. As I said I have Not purchased any fabric -----Ok I have brought "new to me" fabric home. I went to the Senior Center last Wednesday to talk with my quilting friends that meet once a week to quilt--by hand--and I Saw It. 2 boxes and 1 black trash bag of fabric. I was a very good lady and did not touch it while there. I went back Thursday and scarffed it. Almost all of it went into my travel bags and hooked on the back of my power chair then one sat on my foot rest and we traveled home. What fun I had going thhru my new found treasure. I got Lots of quilts stuff (mostly already cut), LoTs of ready to cut fabric and 2 quanities of fabric over 5 yards each. This has now becom added to my 21 boxes of already stashed fabric. Yes, I am working on reducing my stash but one time I went to a yard sale and the lady decided she Hated sewing and quilting was even worse. I bought a few items and of course we talked about what I was planning to do with the fabric. She had her husband deliver 5 more tubs full of fabric--I received the tubs and all that was in each tub. That day I received about 200 yards of fabric with patterns for children's clothing and Lots of thread in multiple colors. So like I said it just keeps growing without spending a penny.
Beginning July 1, 2022 I will be shopping for patterns for little girls in the sizes of 5, 6, 6x, 7 & 8 so I can give the clothing to Salvation Army along with 18-inch doll clothes packed in plastic bags to be given with every 18-inch doll they give away for Christmas. I am also doing quilts (tied off or machine quilted) for children. This is also what I will be doing for my church's Christmas give away this year. I will also be making some Raggedy Andy/Ann dolls. I found a 26-inch doll pattern -- wihout clothes so I will become a fashoin designer for this doll.
Hope you all have a blessed day. MaryK
