Cleaning out the studio

I have soooo many quilts in the studio piled up that something has to go. there is a point where there is no where else to put them. they have all been to several craft shows...or hanging in the studio....or been on ebay and not sold. so i talked to a friend that knows how to contact the people that run the women's shelter in the next town. she will come and pick them all up next week. when i spoke with her i told her i had 35 quilts to go...of various sizes. but since i spoke with her, i found yet another tub with about a dozen more.

I pulled out about 6 that i thought my son and daughter in law might like...a couple have horses on them and a couple have indians and a couple are asian. they have an asian room in their house so i knew they would like those. i told them they could have them if they wanted them....nothing fancy...sort of small....and not to worry about hurting my feelings if they really didn't want them. and explained that i was cleaning out the studio and was going to donate to the women's shelter. i get an email back from my son that says his wife tells him...."if she donates those quilts...i am going to leave you...move to missouri...become homeless...and find that shelter and get those quilts."   LOL  she is so hilarious. she says she loves all of them and wants them all. i have made them seveal quilts over the years and she just goes to pieces when she gets one...like i've given her a million dollars.

So i went out to the barn and dug around for a box to mail them out to them. i found a box that was a bit larger so i put in the 6 that i showed them and also about 6 more...to fill up the box. they will be surprised. she will be crying...and so happy. a daughter in law easy to please....i love that girl.

And the thing is that there are many, many more tops here to piece and send off somewhere. by the end of the year there will probably be about 30 or 40 more. the fun never ends.
