Does anyone else do this?

Went through my patterns the other day. I found 4 that I had duplicates of. That means I liked it that much that I had purchased it twice. Have I made any of those 4?? NOOO. More bucket list. Not to mention all the patterns in the 90 books that I have on the shelf. And my EQ7 where I can design anything. You say 130 years to get it all done? I think that is a conservative estimate.

My patterns are now in plastic sleeves and placed in binders. Organized by those from quilt shops (packet patterns), and internet printed out patterns. I have a two shelf bookcase that sits under my cutting table and I even have room for all of my Missouri Star Quilting books.

Between a pattern stash and a fabric stash there is barely enough room for me in my sewing room. Life gets shorter all the time and there is no way I will every use it all. Would you believe that the disposal of my sewing room is in my will? Have you all thought of that?

How many of you know that the basic black and white marble covered notebooks that you can buy for bookkeeping and notes also come in graph ruled pages? I love those notebooks!

I don't finish a lot of items but have my patterns, books and magazines organized. I have a notebook where everything is listed and the patterns are in one area of my storeroom and the books are alphabetized. That's the only thing in my life that is organized.

I have so many quilt patterns that I will have to live to be over 100 years old to make a dent in them. I seem to be having 1 GGB after the other and I now have 3 baby quilts to make and I am still working on a wedding quilt. I have told my grandchildren that there is a moratorium on weddings because I don't have the time to make a wedding quilt. I also have a large stash of fabric and notions. I don't know how many rulers I have because it seems each quilt pattern requires a special ruler. I wish they would put printed instructions in with the rulers so I can remember why I bought it in the first place.
