A friend came over yesterday and I got out my bits from Maria's class. --also Gwen Marston books--as my Canadian friend Ann reminded me that Gwen actually started this years ago. She took Gwen's class at Quilted Straits years ago and saw many similarities with Maria's style. <br /> Onward--to make more "bits" todaytaiqihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886533109985511462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555143565211060055.post-12615711129108786912019-04-05T17:03:25.104-07:002019-04-05T17:03:25.104-07:00I am so glad you enjoyed your vacation. It sounds ...I am so glad you enjoyed your vacation. It sounds like it was a fun one. I go in spurts about scraps. I collect them in a bin my sister gave me and when it is full, I cull. I put them in Ziploc bags in a box. Every once in a while I take those scraps out and make new kitty blankets for outside. They don't mind raw edges and I like the fluffy look. I'm thinking of tackling a clean out of the stash. Like you, I've been quilting since my early 20's and there is a big stash. I always find someone who is just starting out and looking for fabric. There was an elderly woman at the nursing home that took care of Carl's Mom. She would go to Walmart (no!!!) as she couldn't afford good fabric. I sent a huge suitcase full of fabric to her and now her daughter is using it. Last time a friend's daughter (11yo) was wanting to quilt, so a big box went to her. I love spreading the fabric around. I know I'll never stop buying. I have a partial order waiting for Quilting Straits - thanks for sharing that shop!!!. So far some Essex linen and embroidery floss is in the basket. Have a wonderful weekend!<br />Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01055713076518794844noreply@blogger.com
