I am lucky - this is the second time that she has sorted her closet
for fabric bits - the first time, I received many scraps of fabric
that she had used during her teaching days. Most of the pieces had
been used in projects for the kids to make and included shiny vinyls
as well as cottons, etc. All the colours were very very bright!

Merry Christmas, Jennifer! What a wonderful surprise. If you run out
of ideas about how to use some of those gorgeous pieces, just send
them to me.
