Default 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.

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.

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.

It's all been away so long it counts as free treasure! Have fun!

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.
