great thread....I too have forgotten what what was purchased for...but that's not the norm for me. Usually buy 3 yds.if I really like something but I've dropped back to 2 yds because I've been trying to use up what I have. Now if I buy it it is for something specific....not just because I really like it or at least I try not to! (ok...ok...ok...LOL here!)

One time I bought fabric from Missouri Star because I liked the pattern Jenny was showing with it. I forgot the pattern and called them to ask. They knew immediately what the pattern was and where to find it in one of the BLOCK magazines. They are wonderful on customer service.

Another way I keep fabric and pattern together is to use the selvage ribbon or left over binding strips to tie them together in a pretty bundle and keep them right on a shelf in the stash. I can see the pretty fabric and know just how many projects I have lined up.

Since I don't get much time to sew...I am a one or two project at-a-time quilter so I don't buy fabric and patterns until I'm ready to start a new project so I guess there's no reason to keep a list... but it sounds like a great idea.
I like the idea of writing it on the invoice.

Oh good grief! I can't remember anything anymore. A very annoying thing. If I can't remember what the original purchase of the fabric were for, I just decide on a new one. Once I bought some fabric to make a quilt, couldn't remember what I wanted to use it for, so I started using one of the fabrics...then I remembered what it was for and I had already used some of the yardage. So, I'm making a smaller quilt.
