Birthday Fabric Sorting

Today is my birthday.  The Universe decided I should NOT go shopping.  She dumped a ton of wet, heavy snow on southern Ontario last night and today.  I have postponed my shoe purchasing until Friday.

Instead, I dove into the pile of fabric that was gifted to me by one of my customers.  She cleaned out her cupboard and was giving this stuff to the goodwill.  When I got over my shock I quickly agreed to take it off her hands.

I have sorted out fabric into piles, enough to make 11 small quilts that my guild members can make up into chemo quilts for the local hospital.  I also needed to dip into my own stash for a couple of meters of fabric, but that's ok, I have plenty to spare.

The pattern I am enclosing in each package is this one from maryquilts.com  Each kit will still need 2 m for backing and about 1/2 m for the skinny strips.

Honestly, I feel like I fell into the honey pot.

Tonight I will close out my birthday with the last few episodes of Season 2 of Downton Abbey, and a nice generous slab of chocolate cake made by darling DH, washed down with a glass of red wine.  Ahh...
