I pretty much do use what I have, or what is donated for the projects for which I make quilts, and mostly only buy things I need, or things that appeal to me during the quilt shows or shop hops. I don't often just go buy something for no reason - though the shop down the street from my dentist does get a visit from me on days I think I need a reward for not screaming too much. =) I just need a better organizational method and I'm working that out over the next month or two. I'm glad you had such a lovely relaxing anniversary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-28916103156903163012013-12-30T08:35:46.602+10:002013-12-30T08:35:46.602+10:00Glad you had a nice anniversary.

I just started quilting a couple years ago and am way behind in the stash building that I have seen on many blogs. I know that it is nice to be able to go to a shelf and pull out fabric for a project but now I am thinking that unless I have a specific project in mind I probably should not buy. I think many people build the large stash because so many of the fabric designs sell out almost as fast as they hit the market and if you don't buy it when you see it you may not find it anywhere. I have found myself buying fabrics a few times because I loved it and I knew it would be gone if I didn't buy it then. I am going to have to rethink that and allow myself to let it go if I don't really need it. Thank you for your thoughtful post.

Now I only buy a piece of fabric if I really, really love it, if it's something special.MissesStitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16468039705091019881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-37386425757889860162013-12-30T01:41:11.160+10:002013-12-30T01:41:11.160+10:00What a gorgeous display they make.

I must have a go at that as soon as I've finished knitting a shrug for my granddaughter. It's taken me months as I hate the wool & have had to take it out numerous times. Nearly finished though!<br /><br />I also love cathedral window patchwork. Over thirty years since I did it. Brings back lots of memories.Winifredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415302188575538163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-83647740303572670862013-12-30T01:10:57.168+10:002013-12-30T01:10:57.168+10:00Yes you inspire me and after the first week in the...Yes you inspire me and after the first week in the new year will be gone (I have a little holiday then!) I will go through my stash and give away all the fabric I will never use and make for myself a list of the things I have and those I will use in special projects!

And look at your tidy fabric stash - that is what I will be aiming for as soon as my sewing hole is finished!! But I am thinking I will probably have 3 times that much fabric - maybe my fabriholics challenge should be for a couple of years........hmmmmm maybe not either!!creations.1https://www.blogger.com/profile/06091470077700396841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-58111409922070475222013-12-29T11:38:34.064+10:002013-12-29T11:38:34.064+10:00I love the fabric in that first flower block.

Now the crud bug has hit so I'm even further behind. I started a Christmas quilt block of the month at my sewing center last Feb., but I never did finish them all. That is first on my list!ShirleyChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977213395999971029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-17743132607142608212013-12-29T11:07:03.601+10:002013-12-29T11:07:03.601+10:00Thanks for the links to the tutorials Jenny.

I've been on a fabric diet (shopping my stash) for a couple of years now and it's wonderful to be using so much of the fabric I've had sitting around for ages! :0)Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678326070918510419noreply@blogger.com
