That is not to say I haven't created more, thanks to this great board, but they don't get hidden and they don't require any new material purhases - so I don't count them :)
So one by one - rather than two by two :) - I am getting through my collection of things that need to be done.

Hi,
I cleaned out my stash and gave bags to the Salvation Army so someone else could use all of them.After all the clutter was gone I could concentrate on what I could do with what I had left which was still a room full,I haven't regretted cleaning out everything.Jetta

My husband keeps wondering when I am ever going to use the fabric stash I have instead of buying new fabric for each project. He cannot understand this and as I have all my fabric stored in a large bookcase, there is no place for me to hide them. I just don't know how I can use those dark fabrics I bought when I started quilting and had no idea of what I was doing at the time. They are beautiful, but I am not good at matching them with anything else. Any ideas out there????
