If you don’t freecycle, then I’m gonna show you how! First, go to www.freecycle.org  and look for your city.  FREECYCLE is a nonprofit group of people (you and me) who are giving (and getting) stuff for free in their own towns.  The whole purpose is to reuse and keep stuff out of landfills.  Membership is free!  I like free and I’m guessing you do too! 

The best thing about freecycle is you can get it right to your inbox.  Therefore, you won’t miss much if you’re around a computer.  I jumped on an email a few weeks ago that said “QUILTING, FABRICS, NOTIONS… cleaning out my sewing room”.  I replied quickly and was the lucky recipient of things I knew not what they would be, that’s the most fun! 

I decided the next morning, on my way to “Eula’s” house, that I better scoop the snow from my truck bed, not knowing how much stuff I would be collecting.  She did mention that her husband would LOAD it for me if I pulled up to the garage!  Let me show you my treasures….

You talk about a good time dumping all this stuff out on my living room floor!  Even the dog had to check it out.

There were bags and bags of fabric, quilt books, quilt magazines, thread, ribbon, etc.  Oh my gosh, did I have a good time!

I found lots of “quilts in progress” as I like to call them.  Squares, triangles, pieces, ready to be sewn!

Lots and lots of random squares.

And then there were multiple bags of plaids, perfect for a man quilt!  Unless someone can give me any other ideas??

But maybe the most fun for me was all the bright fish and bug prints.  OMG!!  Let’s just say these will keep me busy for weeks.  I’ve already started at least 6 quilts with just these prints.  I’ll be showing them off real soon!

SO, what are you waiting for?  Get yourself freecycling, NOW!
