Sort of--I'm keeping the quilt patterns I want to do in one file on my computer and the finished quilt patterns in another file. The patterns are usually a pdf file and I can move it easily. I must note that altho' it says quilt some become pillows and other household items.
Pillows are normally 1 block either enlarged or reduced in size. Household items vary depending on what I am goining to use it for. My giveaway quilts will start becoming 2-sided. Helps get my stash a bit smaller. Hopefully.
Then I come across store people that are NO help. I told you about having to purchase some fabric that started crying because i was not going to buy any!!!!! Well I finally bought 2 yards but while I was having it cut I stepped over to the thread couter and there I bought 3 spools of 100% cotton thread as I was making a mircowave placemat and needed to have the thread. When I got to the checkout everything went thru without a problem as the clerk helps put my items up as I sit in the chair and he doesn't want it to be a problem for me. WELLLLLL when I got back home I took the bag off the back of my chair and started bringing everything out. What I did not tell ya all is the lady cutting the 2 yards put almost 15 yards in my bag. Now tell me how am I supposed to reduce my stash when even the store clercks are "against" reduction of stashes. I immediately went back to the store and the manager was there. I spoke to them at the same time. The manager approved the sale of the entire bolt for the 2yard price because I needed to have something to do--I thanked them and left trying to figure out what to use that much extra fabric for--children's dresses, dolly clothes and of course more quilts.
Somebody Please explain to your store clerks that the idea of stash reduction is to help clean out the excess NOT put more in. I'll have this fabric for 2-3 years as I make the children's clothing and the dolly clothes for Christmas gifts only.
I called all 3 agencies and asked if they had a room to store excess in and all 3 said no because they do not have excess ever.
