If I love to be 105 I will never use up all my "just have to have and make" stuff. However, I am making good progress on the bolts and bolts of fabric left from my business. The shelves still look full, but many bolts are almost empty. Anyway, good luck!

I think quilting is the best of all the crafty stuff since you can create something pretty and practical all at the same time and it feels so good to give a blanket of love to those who are so dear to us.
