I'm amazed you can still go through all your fabrics, wash them and then iron them and then box them to give away! You are amazing! Second, you make a very good point to make sure the ones you love are surrounded by quilts filled with your love. I'm sure that you will get back to charity quilts once your goal is reached. You are a generous person and that doesn't stop. So don't feel guilty and go ahead and make those other quilts!Passionate Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15280625610653416523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13842210.post-1140386685147740262006-02-19T18:04:00.000-04:002006-02-19T18:04:00.000-04:00Nancy-I have always envied those that were able to...Nancy-<BR/><BR/>I have always envied those that were able to make quilts for charity. But I seem to always be making baby quilts to give away. I have only made one quilt for myself, my first ever one back in the 80s, and then one for my first DD. I've made my immediate family all quilts, but I want to be selfish and make more quilts for our own house and home!! I've got several underway. Maybe after the kids grow up and I get more productive (I hope!) I'll be able to do some charity quilts as well.Cathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16037759700270046024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13842210.post-1140369934920721202006-02-19T13:25:00.000-04:002006-02-19T13:25:00.000-04:00Nancy: Hope you're feeling better soon.

When we moved here in 97, I cleaned out all my fabric and what I thought I wouldn't use, I gave to the guild for their projects. It is a good feeling to purge the stash every now and then.<BR/><BR/>Judy L.Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720927550545452529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13842210.post-1140367627136750672006-02-19T12:47:00.000-04:002006-02-19T12:47:00.000-04:00Nancy, I sure hope you are feeling better soon.

Doesn't that cleaning out and giving away make you feel like a weight has lifted off your shoulders? I know it sure felt that way to me when I gave yards and yards and yards of little calicos to the guild charity committee.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125491177774966237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13842210.post-1140358593650018702006-02-19T10:16:00.000-04:002006-02-19T10:16:00.000-04:00Nancy - that sure is some stashbusting you are doi...Nancy - that sure is some stashbusting you are doing! <BR/><BR/>I too am on a mission to make everyone I love a quilt. That would be... 6 brothers and sisters (but 1 brother already got 2 quilts from me), 15 nieces and nephews and 6 grand nieces and nephews and a few dear friends. Some of these are all done - 1 just needs the binding, 1 is at the long armers, some are mostly pieced - but there is still a long ways to go!!! Yup, I am the youngest of a BIG family!!!<BR/><BR/>It is very fun to work on making quilts to those near and dear to me.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!<BR/><BR/>EvelynEvelyn aka Starfishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025353776081066815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13842210.post-1140325980184304872006-02-19T01:13:00.000-04:002006-02-19T01:13:00.000-04:00wow Nancy...what a terrific job you have done to b...wow Nancy...what a terrific job you have done to box up and send on it's way stash you do not love-hurray for you! I came to that conclusion after losing my mom-make all my close family members a quilt who did not already have one-like the nephews. It feels great to give them Nancy! My nephews are all happy with their quilts and now my brother is whining he wants a real quilt too,not just the wall hanging he asked for LOL...I think you will find so much joy in working on those quilts...I am excited for you to get going on this-so I hope you feel well real soon...hugsCherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10292382302931335587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13842210.post-1140322109422227222006-02-19T00:08:00.000-04:002006-02-19T00:08:00.000-04:00Oh Nancy, what a good job you are doing!!! I think...Oh Nancy, what a good job you are doing!!! I think that is great that you have boxed up some to give away. Sounds like you'll still have plenty left..*G* I like your idea of cutting a strip off those that are departing...you are one smart cookie!!<BR/>And the same with all those people who haven't gotten a quilt from you. I'm in a similar situation. Maybe it's been easier to NOT give some of our family members a quilt...but we should. Thanks for reminding me of that...Hugs, FinnFinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17677133672404343036noreply@blogger.com
