I have done a bit of tidying up, and that meant taking fabric off three of the shelves in one of my cabinets. I went through all those fabrics and weeded out some of the bits and refolded everything else to fit better back in the cabinet. The non-cotton bits went in a bag to the ReUse Market. I started a bag for the Artisans for Hope. At a recent quilt retreat some of us were wondering how much fabric in a pound? I neatly stacked up some various sized scraps, into a bundle about the size of a small loaf pan (fruitcake size) , and weighed them. They came out to 1.5 pounds, so I wrapped them in a red ribbon and labeled them. I donated them to Artisans for Hope, to put in their little gift shop.
I managed to make room in my cabinet for most of my solid color fabrics, so I could get them out of the basket sitting on the floor behind my sewing chair. What is it Mary Poppins said, "Once begun is half done?" I don't think that applies here, as it feels like one percent has been completed. I will persevere and continue using up my fabric and completing UFOs.
