If I put everything into black garbage bags I'm guessing I'd end up with 6 or 7 bags. That's still too much for me but not as much as I'm realizing others have :!: :!:
My BFF works in a catholic church and I'm sure she'll take a lot
(or all) of it for them to make charity quilts.

I've been thinking, I am using some of my stash to make simple baby quilts for a woman's resource organization that helps with abused women or unwed mothers, etc. they can always use help. also some simple lap quilts for the veterans hospital or nursing homes. I know there are many on this board who do this kind of thing. Just seems like as things get harder, more and more people need help. I was thinking of making some sun dresses for little girls. Just a suggestion for some of that extra material.

I don't have extra fabric one nice thing about living and travling in a MTH no room when I see a pattern I want to make I go buy the fabric for it, when the scraps built up (left overs) than I make a table runner or placemats,tote whatever,I have bought kits, not that many but I do like them ,,,,

It's beginning to look better and I feel better. I'm only keeping things we actually use and want; we used to keep anything that was still good; just because it's good is not a reason any more.
