The word came to us in RS that the Humanitarian Room in our DI was out of fabric. They are making quilts for Haiti and now also Chile. So it was Launa to the Rescue... I pulled out everything from the closet shelf in Merika's old room- and put it all into a bag. I pulled out boxes from under the bed in same room- fabric to donate. I even took several boxes from the bottom of the closet in same room. All total is was about 400 yards of fabric. Dad dropped it off today on his lunch. I also donated a lot of yarn so they can tie the quilts, and a few quilt bats.Last year I donated a lot of fabric to the Sacramento Chapter of Project Linus and the Elk Grove Quilt Guild(this was from the shed in the big plastic bins).
When the weather is nice I think dad and I can go through the garage and find a bit more to donate.
Too bad I had all that sitting there unsewn, but at least I can donate it to a very worthy cause.
You have just a mind staggering amount of fabric, Launa :-) And what great colors of yarn!
ReplyDeleteJust another note, Chili is a food; Chile is the country.
I just had to go into it to fix several typos. Thanks for making me look at it closer. I know I have way too much fabric. Last year when my arthritis in my hands got so bad I took a mental inventory and realized that if I sewed 8 hours a day till I died I wouldn't run out. Moving so many times has played into how much fabric I have, when we moved the fabric would get stuck in some deep corner so I just had to buy more.
