Wow THANKYOU guys!!

Please don't feel you need to aspire to this - this is TOO MUCH!! This is a culmination of nearly 20yrs 'buying faster than I could sew it', a lot from when I was working in a fabric store and nabbed lots of end of card bargains' and just basic lack of control on some that are truly ugly lol. The Plan on the uglies was always to use them up in charity quilts but mostly that didnt happen - could never bring myself to donate something foul, let alone work on it. I used to churn out about 2 or 3 charity quilts a week, haven't done that for a while so the stash 're-grew' lol

Apart from precuts I've designer specific patterns for, or commission jobs, I'm hoping having it all so accessible now will lead to great things, including more charity work. I actually miss throwing together fabrics from the stash. I'd like to get thru enough that they're not stacked 2 piles deep so I really can see what I have at a glance.

While cataloging I've earmarked probably a third to donate to charity. My in laws are Salvation Army and they're getting the details for me of some mission work they do overseas, involving sending sewing machines, sewing supplies and (((fabric))) overseas to poor villages so the so the women can make a living. I think they're gonna fall over when they see what I'm about to donate lol

Lets face it, I've created a monster lol

Cheers, Pami
