Baa, baa Black Sheep ...

have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, two big honkin' bags full!


Yesterday my friend Debbie asked if I had time to stop by because she was given four big bags full of fabric, some of it wool. So I stopped by. And then left with the above bags of mostly wool. There are a few pieces of cotton I pulled out for specific projects in progress and a few pieces of silk. I also pulled out a couple of kits thinking I might do a giveaway here soon.

These things all came from a relative who passed away recently. She was a quilter and even worked at her LQS for many years. She was very talented. Debbie has been rescuing some of her unfinished projects by bringing them home and finishing them. We think many of the unfinished tops she had were originally store samples that she never got around to finishing once they were no longer hanging at her LQS. I can identify, as I have several of those types of UFOs at my house.

My art group is starting a new group project. One of the requirements is to use wool. A few of the group members don't have any wool in their stashes. Well ... they have no excuse now! I will be taking these bags with me to our next meeting. Hopefully I will have time to sort through it first and organize it a bit. If not, we can do it together.

Thank you Debbie!!
