To throw - or not to throw!

About five years ago I got my hands on some  velvet curtains,  cushions, and sample material from a store that was going to get a "face lift' . My heart skipped a beat at the sight of all that free fabric ( even though I had no idea what I would do with it ). Over the years the excitement of this acquisition wore off. It ended up in a trunk under the stairs.  

Handling this 'treasure' was more challenging than I thought. The fabric was stretchy , uneven, of different thickness and it frayed a lot. It was frustrating and I was angry at myself for being so impulsive and taking it without thinking. Not to mention the valuable storage space this lump was taking up - You know that space that other fabric could be using........

The thought of throwing it out  crossed my mind and on a few occasions I even pulled it out of the trunk - only to put it back in for another few years. Like everything in life the right time came for it.  

Just to think that I almost threw the fabric away.  (on more than one occasion! )            -Nonie
