I Saw Something New Today

Way too much effort and organization for my more creative/less organized brain!!
NOT having more of some fabric, or the ability to buy more, or the information so I can beg more, is part of the challenging creative process for me. It makes me *have* to find alternatives of fabric or design, and makes my quilts more interesting visually.

I'm with you on that Jan. I'd rather being sewing or planning not organizing. Takes to fun out of the projects.

If it's something that I think I might need more of, or something I especially like, I just use a permanent marker and write everything I need to know on the selvage..who made it, where I bought it, name of the collection, etc....(never...never...how much I paid) LOL!!!

I did wash and iron 'some' of my stash. I wrote yardage on a strip of ribbon and attached it with my Avery micro-stitch. More than that is more organization than I can accomplish now! Source for purchases is beyond my feeble memory, but I manage to recall some of it.

Too much work for me. Most of my fabrics are purchased with no particular pattern in mind. I have always been able to find a fabric/color to match them. I could never buy some of all the fabrics a pattern calls for. It's alway fun to try to find or substitute fabrics if possible from my stash. I have never really liked making something everyone else makes. My most favorite things I have made were my wall art hangings. They are really my creations and it's fun.
