Boy, you aren't kidding!! I have them all in the Dining room and sorted in bins and containers. My Husband is so wonderful, he never complains about the house being messy, the dining table hidden under fabric, containers all on the floor........... I am truly blessed!!!!

I did not get as many done today as I wanted, but more and more are being completed! My goal is to have all of them ready to go out (the Lord willing) on Monday when I take my Mother to get her coumadin checked. I will be going to the post office and I know they are going to hate me!! But then again, this will help them keep their jobs. lol

Have a good evening, everyone!!!!

Blessings!

Carole, if the postal workers grouse, just smile and tell them you want them to be there for a long time, and this is your way of insuring their jobs! LOL!!

It sounds like you have been doing a great job of getting the fat quarters distributed. I am looking forward to seeing the box come traveling home. It will be such fun to see all the different fabrics, and learn their origin.

I hoe the envelope with extra postage arrived safely. I can see where it might have slipped between the cracks, with all that fabric to sort!

Thank you so much for thinking of this, and being willing to organize and host it.

Don't worry about the postal workers, that's what they are getting paid to do!

Besides, WE ALL LOVE YOU!!!!

aww, horray for mommy time! :) I'm sure you both enjoyed each other's company very much. Hanging around fabric piles all day, beautiful though it may be, would be a little tedious...they are not the best conversationalists I would think. :D have a great day!
