:mrgreen:

trupeach1 04-07-2010 02:48 PM

all the time, isn't it funny when it happens???????

no1jan 04-07-2010 02:54 PM

Not yet! Someday my stash will be big enough though.

GrannyW5 04-07-2010 03:12 PM

Yes, that has happened to me and I think "wow, I must have good taste if someone else is using it too". LOL

craftybear 04-07-2010 03:34 PM

not yet, but I have a small stash of fabric

MadQuilter 04-07-2010 03:35 PM

ALL the time. I use it as an inspiration to see which other colors they paired.

QuiltingGrannie 04-07-2010 03:39 PM

I do that and can tell that they either bought it at Walmart, or that we sell the same thing at Walmart! Oh, the perils of working in the fabric dept. lol

Rachelcb80 04-07-2010 03:51 PM

Nope, not yet. I haven't been quilting long enough to have accumulated much in the way of a stash. But I do look at the pictures and find fabrics that I need to buy! :)

dkabasketlady 04-07-2010 04:14 PM

It just goes to show you what good tastes we all have!!

sandpat 04-07-2010 04:18 PM

Occasionally I see something that I have or had or looked at to buy. I love seeing what others are doing with specific patterns/colors!

cjomomma 04-07-2010 04:22 PM

Yes atleast twice. When Wm marked down the fabric of the month collection. I came on here and someone had posted pic's of the fabrics they just got at WM and I had just bought the same ones.

Quilter7x 04-07-2010 04:24 PM

:lol: yes I do that all the time! :lol:

littlehud 04-07-2010 04:40 PM

I do that all the time. It's fun to see how others use the fabric.

bopeep 04-07-2010 04:49 PM

YES ...I have done that :) :) :)

All the time!!!

beachlady 04-08-2010 03:44 AM

Once in awhile and I love to see what they have done with them.

Jingle 04-08-2010 04:55 AM

A couple of times.

mrs. fitz 04-08-2010 06:06 PM

I saw one in a picture just yesterday, one I've had for quite a while and haven't wanted to use. It looked good!

mar32428 04-09-2010 03:17 AM

Yep, all the time.

I'm with you on this one. One day!!!!!!!!!!

Dorothy of Kansas 04-09-2010 05:17 AM

Quite often, and I love seeing how they used it, especially if I haven't used mine yet.

wvdek 04-09-2010 05:28 AM

Often and I also enjoy seeing how they used it.

It's fun to see what designs folks come up with that never even occured to me. Makes it interesting.

Imagine 30, 40, 50 years from now, folks will be looking at our work and saying,"do you remember that fabric?"

Now if someone could show me how they have used the Nature's Notebook Layer Cakes by Moda, that would be a big help too.

quilter64779 04-09-2010 05:56 AM

I know about working at walmart in fabric dept. That is why when I retired I have such a stash. But can't resist buying more when I go to visit my friends. :lol:

pollyjvan9 04-09-2010 06:01 AM

Yes, all the time. I assume they spend as much time and money as I do at Hancocks. I have just started going to Joanns again recently. Its good to see a different selection.

Lyn4ty 04-09-2010 10:45 AM

Every now and again I will see fabric used in a quilt that I recognize as fabric I bought a while back and used when I was making cat beds to sell at the cat shows. Can tell who uses a lot of Wal-mart, Joann's and Hancock fabric for sure, LOL!

Naturalmama 04-09-2010 11:02 AM

Not yet, but I think it would be fun - and inspiring - to see how someone else used it!

zz-pd 04-09-2010 04:47 PM

not yet, but I bet some of you will see your fabric in my quilt when I get done. :lol: Penny

rufus2 04-09-2010 04:57 PM

Yes I have. Love the fabrics in your avatar, Suzym . What is the name of your pattern. It is delightful and you have done such a great job on it.

Ditto

JudyG 04-09-2010 06:49 PM

All the time. As a matter of fact, I was looking at some pictures here yesterday and saw several of my fabrics in quilts. It's great to see how others put fabrics together.

trupeach1 04-09-2010 06:58 PM

What I think is funny is when I am looking at fabric on e-bay and someone has fabric listed as vintage and I know I have it in my stash and never considered it vintage.

Gerbie 04-09-2010 08:20 PM

I love that beautiful darling in your pic. Precious picture.

Cute QuiltingGrannie :-P I haven't recognizerd too many fabrics in my stash, even though my stash is definitely growing all the time! However, I have seen fabrcis that I really wanted... oh, as if I don't look at enough fabric in the stores and online. :oops:

I keep telling myself I need to quit looking but I never listen to myself for very long. I buy wayyyyyyy less fabric than the fabrics I would LOVE to have!!! :roll:

wraez 04-10-2010 03:21 PM

Yup and then there is always the 'WISH I had that one', LOL

warm quilt hugs, sue in CA
