    Yardage??

    I saw a post from Pattypurple a few days ago. I believe she was in a new sewing area??
    Anyway she made the statement that she had to move 500 yds of her fabric. Does everyone know how much yardage they have??? Boy, I have NO idea????? lol lol I still have a lg bag full that I bought @ a closing and haven't even put it away!! I have a quilt on my table and no room to organize the new material...
    Really do you all honestly know????????????? Should I be doing this??????

    Not happening at my house Just returned from a 4 week holiday and added another huge pile of fabrics I had purchased as I collected Row by Row patterns! I enjoy spending time in quilt shops and as long as I can I will support them so that they don't disappear That's the excuse I'm giving....

    I do not know. I do not want to know. But, no matter how much you have, it's never enough.
    Fabric is like money, no matter how much you have it's never enough.

    Yeah, what she said!

    I believe UFOs are like scraps, ferns and dust bunnies. Once you get two, they send spores out into the air and more just happen anywhere the spores meet.

    About a year ago I carefully folded fabric to fit into a "small" Home Depot moving box.

    The box was 12x16x12 inches -
    I got 115 yards of fabric in it.
    The fabric weighed 32 pounds, 8 ounces.

    (The empty box weighed 14.5 ounces.)

    On this particular batch of fabric - Fabric Traditions - it was 3.5 yards of fabric per pound. (A yard of this fabric weighed approximately 4.5 ounces.)

    Me, too. Especially moving internationally. The logistics are scaring me to death.
