Quilting Treasure Hunt at your own house!
You know you can save $ by going shopping at your own house with your cool fabrics, patterns, quilt books, rulers etc.
This way you will find things that you forgot you bought. This would be a good time to get your things all nice and organized.
I have been organizing my quilt books (yes, I found duplicates).
I now have my quilting books in a file cabinet and have them filed by authors, that way I can see at a glance if I bought a duplicate one when I file it away.
Also I got some of the ABC tabs and put to make it easier to organize them by alphabetical order.
I am organizing the quilting magazines by name of the magazines and then putting them in date order, with the newest on top.
What a job but is working for me.

I recently donated some duplicates to the local Senior group. I wish I knew about this board, I could have sold them and bought more fabric. lol I have to go through my stash once in a while and my books so I don't buy the same ones over and over.

Yes, my sister had a habit of buying one copy for me & one for her. As a librarian, I thought this a waste as I could just borrow a book from her. When she lost her battle with colon cancer, I ended up with a lot of duplicate copies.
