I'm a firm believer in "the one that dies with the most fabric wins" and have a hard time throwing even miniscule pieces away (I use those in fabric art for Bible covers). Really now, admit it some of you, that the best fun in quilting sometimes is the hunt for fabrics and seeing what kind of bargains you can find. I love finding a beautiful fabric tucked away on a clearance rack, that I wasn't intending to purchase. Or a piece of gorgeous material for almost nothing at a thrift shop. I buy when I can and save it for inspirations to come. It gives me a good feeling to see all my stash waiting to be made into something. And if it wasn't enough, lately I've taken to repurposing thrift store clothing into crafted purses, quilts, etc. It's all the QB's fault - someone said that cotton fabric was going to become outragously priced, so I was planning ahead. LOL Just kidding, I really need NO encouragement, at all.... :)
A glimpse into MY chaos.....
Shelves with fabric neatly folded, bins of fabric on the floor in front of shelves, sorted cleaned clothes from the thrift shop piled on the bins at the moment, and a dresser on the right full of folded fabrics, with other assorted stacks here and there. I'm still in the process of moving my studio to a larger room, hence the explosion that no longer fits this room. Soon, it will be organized again.
