Sometimes life needs a little excitement and this is exactly what happened to me. I had gone grocery shopping, and other then it being a very windy day, nothing unusual. Shortly after arriving home the phone rang. A women from the monthly craft group called asking if I was OK. After reassuring her that everything is fine and I was only gone grocery shopping, she made a sigh of re-leave and then told me the following story.

Her husband had gone to visit their daughter using his bike (daughter lives a few houses away from me) When he came close to my house (I live on a corner lot) he noticed a whole lot of fabric pieces all over the street and on my property, some of them dancing in the wind. He got off his bike and started chasing and collecting them because he figured that they had to be mine.

All the time she is telling me this I am thinking.
Someone entered my house, got by my German Shepherd, went upstairs, opened the window and threw out fabric?......and then she told be that her husband also saw a big Costco bag which he used to gather all the pieces and then left it at my front door.

That is when the light bulb went of and I started laughing. A quilter friend of mine moved out of state and decided to leave a few things behind in my garage, among them a big Costco bag full of scrap material. When I was getting the Christmas decoration, the bag of scraps was in my way and I had put it on the floor. Obviously I forgot to put it back and as I was driving out of the garage I must have dragged the bag along and that is the why the neighborhood got decorated in the most unusual way.

I did eventually make good use of all that colorful fabric as you can tell. These 2 only need to be sandwiched and quilted.
