Stash find
Several years ago when our divorced son and his boys moved in with us, I put
a lot of my things in totes and stacked them in a corner of our bedroom and tossed even more. Now that the family is back to the two of us and my craft room is being set up, I pulled out the totes. Low and behold--clothing patterns I thought were tossed, flannel, cotton, good old poly double knit, a quilt top I embroidered 25 years ago, and who knows what else. I will start sorting another day. -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948 |

Yes I do...... oh, another think I found was some beautiful gray and pink
fabric I bought to make matching shirts 11 years ago. LOL The green and pink I bought at the same time must be in there someplace too. -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948 "Terbear" wrote in message news:djQ%c.286618$Oi.195529@fed1read04...

I couldn't wait. I've found a crib size (I think) poly quilt top made of
7-8 inch blocks and 2 patterns and some pieces for appliqué & embroidery quilts, one in Jack and Jill teddy bears and the other nursery rhymes. (think I'll keep these) Oh, and Barbie doll dress patterns. LOL I will be giving much of this away so let me know via email if you would like a list if what I'm getting rid of. I can't afford postage so keep that in mind. -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948 |

My theory is that if the old stuff has been 'out of sight' long enough to be
'out of mind' for even a little bit then it's just like getting new stuff. Enjoy your 'new' stash, Mary! I'm still coming across stuff that got packed away last year when our duaghter, son-in-law, and their 2 boys lived with us for 3 or 4 mos. while they were between houses and the new construction got slowed down.

It is like new. g One quilt top will have to be redone. Seams unraveled
when I washed it. -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948 "DDM" wrote in message ...
