A Story to Tell

 I felt so well yesterday, I even went to quilting for a little bit!
I didn't bring sewing with me but I did bring scraps 
and the Accuquilt cutter to get ready to make a quilt top.
Our group is making a bunch of quilts to donate to the county police to be used 
specifically for when they get a call to a domestic violence situation. 
 Since that is something that has affected my family, of course , I wanted to participate!
 While digging through the stash to find some children's fabrics, I found this very old fabric.
It is only 32" wide and a much looser weave than we would find today!
 Here is one that is many decades newer but still
 many decades old!  Monkeys have always been good for children's fabrics, I guess!
 This one is decades old;  see the children at play?
While this one is a new fabric printed to look old!
It was fun to dig through my own little department store!

  1. Your stash is amazing!!! Since Dad passed all I have are Connecting Threads collections. He was the fabric shopper in the family. I really miss that.

  5. I was rooting around for backing fabric and resisted some older, but still new, purchases. With it being in drawers, you forget what you have!!
