    Default I feel like Santa has come!

    My sweet husband has been converting my fabric closet from several deep shelves to pull out drawers. I ordered some of the Mag. cards from Amazon and started wrapping my fabric. WOW! I have fabric I didn't remember I had and some of the pieces are several yards. I remember purchasing most of it and using off of the yardages but I have so much more fabric than I realized. I also have two bins filled with scraps one for quilting cotton and the other with flannel. I ran out of cards, that would be 100 of them, and still have several pieces to wrap. I did order another pack but was happy to find a bundle that was a bit less expensive. My new bunch of cards will be here Tues. and I think my husband will finish the 3rd and last drawer on Monday so I can then put it all away. I have two pretty much filled now but when the last one is finished I will be doing some re arranging.

    As I was going through the fabrics I was thinking, 'Wow, I can use that for this grand child and Wow, I can use that for that grand child.' I think I pretty much have fabric to complete most of the quilts for all of them. One of my biggest hold ups was not having the $$ to purchase the fabric. I am excited! Can you tell?

    When it is all finished I will post a picture.
    Be blessed,
    Sandy

    God has a plan and it is a good plan.

    He is definitely a keeper! Don't you love discovering fabric that you already own?

    I need to finish folding mine onto the cards. I keep jumbling it all up in the tubs that some of it is in.
