Today I pored over my fabric stash to find pieces that would be suitable for backings for the quilts being made for the tornado victims in Oklahoma. Would you believe I gathered up over 50 yards to donate to the cause? Now that I'm thinking about it, I should have taken a picture of the stack! The pieces ranged in size from 4 yards to 11+ yards. There should be enough fabric for about 10-12 quilt backings.
I had planned to use the fabric when I bought it but you know what? I think the 'newest' fabric was probably about 5 years old. Obviously I wasn't going to use any of it any time soon. I also donated a twin sized cotton batt from Hobb's Heirloom 80/20 line and 6 spools of variegated quilting thread. Karen said she loves to use variegated thread so there you go!
I also delivered the quilt I finished on Saturday. Sorry Eddie -- I should have said it would be good for a male of any age. :*) Karen was very happy to see all of the items in my tote bag and I was very happy to have all of it out of my house!
