Even put a bed there .. which is now the perfect quilt storage system.. I just lay one on top of another.
I figure I will have to start digging a basement expansion is a few years . If I tell myself I will have to dig with a spoon that will deter me. I don't have a basement! Waaaaaaa!!! |

Did you know that the weight of your basement stash will help hold your house down in case of a tornado? If only Dorothy had been a quilter! :D

Hey!! One question...... Did you put a pea under all those quilts??? Reminds me of the princess that put a pea under her mattress and she could still feel it. heheheh!
As for accumulating.. it all typically goes in my family Christmas give away. Sometimes I make them play family Jeopardy, categories created to family refernences, and the questions/answers are all geared to family "stuff'. Or I have posted an on line - family auction.. with photos.. and they can turn in a previously "gifted" quilt or just claim a new one. No feescost they just have to describe how it will be used/loved to be the new owner. So the pile goes down to nothing at least once a year. We are a family of sewers.. and we try to host "white elephant" fabric exchange every year ot two, thats lots of fun.! |
I'm in the same boat.I think I just like to buy.But,I also have a longarm and I quilt for others and a semi-part time job.It gets up to 30 plus hours.So,not much piecing gets done.Oh well,there's always retirement.

Just a minute while I peek over my latest pile to answer you. I finish a project and then find 3 or 4 more I have to add to the "to do" pile. I wonder if I will ever be "done"!
