A few years ago a friend of mine mentioned an article she's read about passing along family treasures to our children and grandchildren (she has a collection of yard gnomes she is certain her daughters would cherish as much as she does.)
The bottom line of the article, they don't want our stuff. When I was a young bride I welcomed hand-me-down furniture and home-making stuff from my mom and G-G-ma, Ma-Moo. That is not so much the case any more. And, that includes our treasured fabric, unless you are lucky enough to have birthed a quilter or sewist (I'm green.)

nothing quilting-related.)
Piecemakers Country Store is having a big sale today; 40% off everything, store wide. Miss Kate and I have plans to go.
I have two Christmas quilts that need backing so I measured and calculated how much backing I'd need figuring 40% off was a pretty good deal if I can find something I like. (And, the scissors sharpening guy will be there....) But, as I was measuring and calculating this morning I thought....wait a minute! Shouldn't I check my stash? By cracky, I believe I already have some pretty good matches! (I will get a second opinion from Miss Kate.)
Most of my stash is smaller pieces, but I did have a few pieces of yardage.

Happy Independence Day To All
So Char: did you wind up buying any fabric?? Happy 4th and 5th!!
ReplyDeleteTechnically, Yes. But I only purchased .5 yards to put an applique on one of the Christmas Quilts. I used the entire piece the same day. No fabric was added to the closet.
