Gotta say that the reverse outweighs my finds

With prices as high as they have been lately for LQS fabrics, it is nice to find fabrics you forgot you had! It's happened to me a number of times, too.

Not long ago I looked in a shopping tote bag I had hanging in my sewing room closet expecting to find one thing in it when I discovered a group of fabrics perfect for a beautiful spring wall hanging I had forgotten I had bought. So happy will be starting it soon!

I don't have such luck. No goodies to be found in this home.

Yup! Been there, done that. Pre-Christmas, I found a box full of runner kits I had totally forgotten that I owned.

I have misplaced some Christgmas fabric that I bought a couple of months ago. I would much rather find fabric than lose it!

Oh, yes! I know what is in the sewing room because I cleaned it recently but I do have some stuff in storage that will be a great surprise when I get to it.

Who me??? Never. LOL. Even after purging my stash before we had to move to a 2 bedroom apt. I've found some fabric I knew I bought, but hadn't seen in forever. I'm slowly trying to get all my "ducks in a row" so to speak so I can find what I want when I go look for it. Yes, I know, in a perfect world, but I can try. It is fun when you discover fabric you had forgotten about though.

I'm getting ready to go through my bins to make 2 1/2inch strips for a scrappy. I can't wait to see what all is in there.

Maybe 2013 will be the year I finally get all my stash organized. I've started cutting left overs into 2 1/2, 2 and 1 1/2 inch strips/squares. I want to keep all larger pieces separated by approximate size as well.

Unfortunately I'll never get really organized. I simply do not have the space. Drat!
