S.O.S. : Same Ol' Scraps

Howdy! I've been rootling thru' the same scraps for years. PLEASE, please take some of these off my hands, out of my baskets, into your stash. Send me a note, add your address, I'll send you a bag of these pretty things. It's potluck: use what you like, do as you please with them. Just SOMEONE, please take some of these scraps! (North American continent, please; first 5 responses)

Some of my quilts; figure the scraps are from these:

I don't quite understand/like what's going on here. Firstly, Sandy, do NOT send me your scraps; my own are getting quite out of hand. But . . . but where is the subtle begging and Roberta who takes delight in scraps? And Jill? We used to hear from her about her furry friend rescue quilts. Seems to me the monster fb has taken away our hearts. Polly

Polly,

Roberta in D would (I should hope!) have been asleep overnight here in Europe :-) Plus Sandy did specify NA - we know when our adresses are not wanted. Only kidding Sandy, totally understand about postage.

For a very long time now it seems to me that Jill has just been popping in now and again. Maybe we can dig up her email addy and ping her with this, if there are no takers? Really, no takers?

Regarding FB, I see a lot of the same posts here and there. I prefer here, but the ease of having pics in the conversation on FB is a plus.

Scraps are deadly...every time my guild has some to give away I swear I won't even look and then before I know it I'm bringing some along with me to a good home. sigh. It's a good thing for my sewing room that you don't live nearby. :) Allison

Maybe we need to start running annual "scrap heap challenge"? As in Like robot wars, only making soft stuff and compete by pics online? Material only from the scarp heap of course, except thread, tools and maybe batting and embellishments? :-)

I'm here! Just don't get to check the board as much as in the past. I'm still making dog and cat blankies for the rescues and have now added, making sleeping matts for our military workng dogs to sleep on. I will contact you and see if you have any rmaining. Thanks, as always, for thinking of the animals.

Oh no, not at all! Just thinking that maybe there are more of us with more of a scrap heap than we know what to do with :-)

I would just love some of your scraps! However I am a lurker although I did post a couple of times a year or so ago. Then I decided you were all way beyond my capabilities so I quit posting but not reading. I'll even reimburse you for the scraps. I'll wait to see a post telling me if you'll post to a lurker.

Actually, I don't have a lot of scraps, about a shoebox size one (regular size, not boots - LOL!).

But your suggestions are definitely sound :-)

i remember your name as it is not one i'd ever heard of before. if you really think we were 'all' above your capability (not likely at all), you must have heaps of questions or things you wondered about how they worked in quilting even if you are never going to be inclined to try it, so where are all your questions and wonderings? surely there have to be a whole bunch of them. that is what keeps RCTQ working and existing. if more and more of us keep lurking we'll eventually just die of boredon. so come on, Twila, let rip with some of the thing re quilting you've always wondered about. :) i hope someone backs me up on this cuz i just cant let a lurker remain in lurkdom when i just now there are opinions and ideas on all manner of solutions here but the questions need to be asked for those opinions and solutions to be voiced. just trying to keep warm in the south pacific winter where, when i got up to make a trip to the loo and grab a hot cuppa tea, the temp showing on our thermostat this morning at 7:30am, just a few mins past sunrise, in the ceiling above all that pink batting we put in a few yrs back, was -1 degrees....omg, bloody heck, its never been that cold in the 35+ yrs i've lived here. what the hell is going on in the world............it was only 12C in the house at that time. brrrrrrr. ok, i know it gets colder up your end of the planet but it never is that cold here in Auckland. not in my neighbourhood anyhow. got out of bed at

9:30, half an hour ago and just put track pants and a fleece jacket over my jammys, changed from bed socks into daytime socks, added shoes, already had my knitted beret (slept with that on cuz i dont like a warm room to sleep in...gotta keep the body heat in too, and my 10 ft or so long LIME green eyelash? fabric scarf round my neck 4 x. i will not be cold!!! :)) j. ps, we're also on facebook as RCTQ, funny that, eh. :)) brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Well said, Jeanne. If our lurkers hesitate to climb in and our regular quilters pop by to read but don't bother to share their quilting with us, rctq here will just fade away. If you don't give a happy hoot whether rctq survives or not - just keep quiet. That will be your answer. Polly
