Hi Mike, unknowingly, you inspired me to do my best at recycling scraps that
a small local manufacturer throws into their dumpster. These scraps have
been made by different groups into lap quilts for a nursing home, and I
occasionally share on this newsgroup. I've probably shared close to 800
pounds of scraps, over the last few years.

Hey Donna, feels great to see some of the old names again too. Checking
out the group is a double edged sword. It brings back great memories but
it also makes me want to keep tons of scraps out of the landfills too.

Sometimes when I go for medical tests, etc. I see the people wearing tops
and warm up jackets with some great kids prints, etc. and it makes me wish
I still had access to great fabric like that. I just think of all the
great things that those "USELESS" scraps were made into and it drives me
crazy that more places won't recylce their scraps to people who can use
them.

Time is usually the main thing keeping me away. (:-) When I have a bad
series of migraines I get way behind on everything so then I have to play
catch up so I have to make the most of the good days. When I start to
play around on the group here and other places on the net, I can spend a
few hours before I even know it. (:-)

I do try to keep an eye on the group from time to time even if I don't
post. It is nice to see what is going on with everyone.

Take care.

Magic Mike
