I'm still assessing my fabric stash. I decided instead of spending the effort and energy to dye those fabrics I would pass some along to another stitching group and sew what is left. There is probably only a few quilts in the piles.
At my sewing group today I talked with a few friends who sew in another group making totebags and comfort pillows for the hospital district. They can use the drapery weight cottons I am eager to move out of my stash.
I was at a meeting Tuesday night and one of my friends gave me a shopping bag another friend gave her who had asked if she knew anyone who sewed. I came to mind immediately. So another pile of quilting cottons. There are some nice prints and more of what I am trying to use of my own stash. It's all good for the twin quilts for the Houston Furniture Bank.

Everything is going to work out well. I like that!
It's been really hot here in Houston! I received an energy alert from the utility company this afternoon to conserve energy from 2-7 pm. I took the initiative and turned my air conditioning off & have been using a large fan. So far it's been OK. I usually turn off my air conditioner at night & just sleep under my ceiling fan. I hope you are enjoying the summer & not sweating to death!

Have a Creative Day, Y'All!
I'm fortunate to live in a smaller city and in TVA country, I think. It's been hot, but I've stayed comfortable. I normally keep it on 77-78, unless the humidity is above 75%, and I try to then, too. In Arizona, I could stay at 82, but not here! I hope things cool off in south Texas soon! It looks like you've found good homes for the fabrics that aren't quilt-worthy, and more of what you need is taking its place.
