  2. I never know for sure what I'm gonna do with a specific fabric until it's in my hands, but I'm sure that between my sister-in-law (and our two toddler girls that need cute clothes!) we could come up with something. :)

  7. I would love love love this lot of fabric! I just started crafting about a year ago and I don't have much of a supply to work with - I mainly create stuff to give away - this would greatly help me out! And it would offset my mossy oak and bob the builder fabric that I have now. I have 3 boys- nothing is Gorky in my house. Lol this would be delightful!

  151. I would turn it over to my sewing group, Serial Quilters, and see how far it could go in creating everything for a home - quilts, pot holders, placemats, tea towels, curtains, etc. Then the entire collection would be donated to the Willow Domestic Violence Center in Lawrence, KS. They could either auction it off or give it to a family making a new start. If KU Coach Bill Self can wear red heels for this group, I think we can step up as well! This give away would be a wonderful starting point and a rewarding project for my group!

    ReplyDelete
