[quote user="Elizabeth"] Another way to use those fabrics you know longer like is a fabric exchange. My sister is a quilter and our tastes tend to be a bit differant but we love to raid each others stash. [/quote] Elizabeth, That is a great idea!

Lately I have not been able to do much quilting because medical issues have sapped much of my energy. However, I am involved in a birthday block exchange with fellow members of an online quilt club. 22 signed up for the exchange.
