It's good to know that other mothers did this too. With mine it was salmon patties. I hated her salmon patties and refused to eat them. Once, and only once I made the mistake of laying some change on the table and saying, "Mail mine to them." I thought it was pretty funny and after a day or two when the swelling went down I could actually laugh about it. LOL Mom was a wonderful person but she just didn't take well to back talk or a sassy mouth.

This proves it!!! I now have the quilting addiction bug. Just bought my first tub today because my fabrics were stacking up everywhere. I am so proud. hehe After 3 quilts and 1 tub, can I say I am no longer a newbie quilter?
Thats how we all started, pretty soon one tub turns to two then three, Then a bedroom full. Then you can't go to a store without buying more.
:lol:

Wow! I'm jealous of those of you with stashes like that! I have one tub with fabric that isn't even full, yet! Most of it is smaller pieces that I've picked up here and there. Enjoy using all that fabric ladies! It's fun to look through what I do have and try to plan!

I am going to try a set up. If I see a fabric that suits a person and I know I will make them a quilt sometime (I'm 66 and hoping to make 13 more for children to snuggle under. I'm going to start an envelope of that material and who for. as I find a cotton that matches it, I hope to just drop it in the envelope until I have enough for the quilt.
when I'm trying to straigten 13 quilts out, I'll let you know how my theory worked. lol.

My home is also small,2 bedrms- mbedrm/bath, second br is sewing romm w/shelves in closet for fabric (loaded). Retired, collected fabric 3/4 yrs while we camper traveled. Quilt shops are so fun. Now I make quilts for gkids (hs grad for college). I enjoy making whatever fabric I have work. Havent bought any fabric since except maybe some muslin. Love being in my sewing room working because its the only place in the world I have complete control.

for me, it was green peas. Fortunately, my mom let us skip one food we didn't like on Christmas,Thanksgiving,and our birthday.(I was born on Christmas so that wasn't too fair). I learned to just swallow them whole, and to this day I won't eat cooked green peas and I never made my kids eat them either!
