I thought the reason God made all those really cool plastic stacking drawer things is so we had places to put all the stuff we buy in triplicate, fouthuletts, fiveuletts, etc....am I missing something here?????;))

Do the same thing purchase fabric, then repurchase it 3 or 4 months later. Quilt books I think I must have 7 or 8 duplicates. I do believe that I have 5 sets of the tri-rec rulers. I could go on and on but then I would have to go thru my sewing room and would find a whole lote more. The nice thing about this is that someday you won't needd anything///

also, keep an index card in your purse/wallet with the normal things on it., 45mm blades-qty on hand-XXX, 8" scissors- qty on hand-XXXX, quilting needles-qty on hand-XXX, etc, etc....
make a list of the needles you really do need, different sizes, microtex, denim, etc and start looking to buy more specialty items if you feel the need to buy something!
