I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.....

I take my grandson to the library every week for story time and I've become friends with another grandmother who brings her granddaughter to the same class.

Last week,  she told me had been cleaning her sewing room and had " a bag " of scraps and would I like them.   Well I did laugh then and thanked her and said of course I would like them.

I got that bag from her

but it was not just A bag.......

it was 2 very big and heavy bags- stuffed so full that she had to tape them shut.
They are taller than the cushions on the couch and I think each bag weighed about the same as  my   3 year old grandson.  

this is what I kept from those 2 bags.
and I will be passing on the extras on our local FreeCycle list

I am by no -means fabric poor as I have got so much fabric from my mom
and a little fabric from local thrift stores.  

Still,  I found some goodies in those bags.  

I've been collecting fussy cut squares to make I Spy quilts for my grandchildren and there were quite a few prints in this assortment.  

That bag on the left is a 2 gallon bag with small quilt pieces already cut out.  

Most all the pieces I kept were scraps- there might be a few that were a yard or 2 long but mostly leftovers.  

I do like scrappy things but this was even a lot for me.  

If you guess that I am sewing on quilts or scrappy projects right now,  you would be wrong.  

I cut out 4 blouses for myself and will be sewing on them when I get done blogging.  

There is always something for my hands to find to do.........you too?
