OMG do I belong here or what! Yesterday I finished washing, pressing and folding that last of 20 yds worth of fat 1/4's (yes fat qtrs) I will be using for the fw's quilt, I still have the larger pieces to do but at least they won't be so time consuming. Now I have a completely FULL drawer (on one of those 3 drawer towers from Joann's)ready for cutting and sewing when we start in Aug.And a 2nd started of the larger pieces.
I started out this summer to re-organize my entire stash,meaning re-washing, pressing, folding because the son and dil moved out and I knew I'd be moving my sewing room back downstairs, so I started out by zigzagging raw edges and washing those pieces that had migrated up here over the winter. I've almost completed those other than the drawer of batiks and a few large yd pieces I have. Then this new project for the fw's came up so I decided to go through my stash of K.T.'s and do them, so now they are almost done.
That still doesn't begin to touch the 5 shelf unit I have of fabric or the other drawers. OMG will it ever end. I wish I had been smart like some of you and washed them as they came home, I did some but like a dummy I hadn't cut a corner or zigzagged the edges so alot of them I can't tell if they were done so here they go again.I am determined they will all get washed, pressed and folded now before they go in a drawer or onto the shelf.
My next project is I have a 4 day workshop with 5 different projects in Sept. so I am starting to pull those fabrics and make sure the are ready to go..... WOW.
My neighbor was over the other night, and she went shopping from my stash for a cousins wedding quilt, she sat looking around and asked so Muriel howmany 1000's of yards of fabric do you have, I told her I don't have a clue. Too darn many right now. I text her yesterday and told her about the 20 yrds of fats finished and the other 20 yrds to go and she text me back laughing and just calls me OCD.
The up side to this is with all this to do and school starting again the 18th maybe I'll be to busy to go to Joann's or LQS and maybe I'll not spend money this next month....yeah right
But that's my story and I'm sticking to it....lol
