Scraps!

Do you keep ALL your scraps of

fabric?? You see I don't keep them

I throw them out because I KNOW that

I won't use them. The only scraps that I do

keep are those that are at least 4" square.

I am asking because I went to my monthly sewing group 

yesterday and took some NYB blocks to work on

foundation piecing does waste alot of fabric,

but to me those off cuts are not worth keeping,

and I cut my fabric for foundation piecing so there isn't

alot of waste.

Well one of the ladies wanted my scraps which I 

happily gave her, but really how can see use

a scrap of fabric that isn't even 1 inch ....

to me that is just weird, she said she will bring

something in made of scraps to our next

meeting so I guess I will find out then!

Am I the only non scrap keeper out there???

Speaking of my NYB, I haven't had the time to actually 

sit and sew for any real length of time, as this week

because

I am a solo parent! 

and I don't like it

The husband is in Victoria for the week on a course 

for work, and my lovely daughters have decided 

that this week all niceness has gone out the window 

and they have been shockers.....and it's only day 2

but we are very organised, dinner, dishes and showers

are done before 7pm, lunches are pre packed and on the bench

each night  except for their sandwiches & yogurt 

So that makes me think my lovely husband is the leader

of the chaos that happens each morning while we try to

get breakfast, lunches & chores done...

But I do miss him, its very quiet once the kids are in

bed and its just Henrycat and I left up, so we (henry and I)  have been in

bed watching tv by 9:30.

will be back in a couple of says with the NYB

blocks I am working on :)

and please tell me whether you are a scrap hoarder of not
