still progressing

This is what's left to be sorted....except that bundt cake box has the denim scraps in it so it doesn't need sorting.

I got too tired to take pics of the rest but know that your boxes are getting full.

And for those of you who have mentioned being worried about the postage.

I got flat rate boxes from the post office knowing that the fabric would end up being heavy and please know that giving this stuff to y'all is something that I want to do. I am very happy to know that the fabric and stuff won't sit in my garage for the next 20 years! (it can sit in YOURS!!)

If I've done it right, when you get your box you should find the following.

A) something that will make you laugh
B) something you will throw away (because I couldn't)
C) something you will use and enjoy
D) something that you will look at and say "WHAT THE HECK??!!"

Please don't hesitate to follow through with B, and if you feel so inclined I'd love to see posts showing which item fell into each category for you.

I may take tomorrow off from sorting...I'm getting worn out. But I do think that I'll have the boxes ready to mail sometime next week.

Now, who'd like to adopt these orphans??
The double knit fabric and blue netting have found homes.



small basket of patterns, these are classic styles and some 80s-ish that would be fine if you forego the shoulder pads (can I tell you how many stray single shoulder pads I have thrown away!!??) The sizes on these patterns are all either 18-22 or 20-24 women's. They've been used but Grandmother told me LONG ago that instead of cutting through the pattern she would fold the pattern on the cutting line so that she kept all the sizes. Woman had more patience than I do!



This is one of those packaged projects from long ago. You use it to make a quilted pillow or pillow cover. It is a parrott sitting in a tree, blow the pic up if it's hard to see. It has already been attached to batting that's still in fairly good shape. you just attach whatever fabric you wanted to use to the other side of the batting, quilt on the lines through all layers (it says can be hand or machine quilted) and then attach to a pillow or make a cover out of it using your fabric as the topside and the pattern would then be inside the pillow. Did that make sense? It's hard to explain but would make a beautiful pillow or wallhanging.




Next we have about 1/2 box of bottom weight sturdy denim scraps. If you patch jeans or want a heavy quilt this would be perfect for you.
