I went to Senegal and the Ivory Coast way back in 1984, long before I started quilting, so I didn't pay much attention to all the gorgeous fabric that I swoon over today. Good on you for bringing home and using the scraps!<br /><br />LindaEat Sleep Quilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128823480396332414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414889544611004710.post-78056357126290112502011-08-18T11:19:01.521-04:002011-08-18T11:19:01.521-04:00I have been following your blog for some time sinc...I have been following your blog for some time since I noticed your interest in African fabric. This entry made me laugh. I got hooked on African fabric several years ago on the first of what has become an annual teacher training trip to West Africa. Each trip we have new African clothing made and the dressmaker saves her scraps for about a month before we arrive (LOADS of scraps we carry home in foot lockers)even though she thinks we are crazy. We get new clothes AND scraps to bring back with us! We use the scraps to make items to sell here in the U.S. to support teacher training in Liberia. You are so lucky to get the scraps right here in the U.S.!!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06124705972418692702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414889544611004710.post-63562460728565225632011-08-18T10:48:51.692-04:002011-08-18T10:48:51.692-04:00Lucky you!

I can image that if I sewed a lot for others there would come a point that I would no longer have the space to store scraps. I'm not sure I could throw them away though. I'd have to find a guild, group or person to donate them to.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13665481715449959495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4414889544611004710.post-53546692298550121292011-08-18T10:33:10.244-04:002011-08-18T10:33:10.244-04:00It is amazing to me how they can throw out large p...It is amazing to me how they can throw out large pieces like that.
