Need help organizing your stash??
#171
I was going to work on sewing building today but so far have not made it and I am not sure why. I want to do it but just never seem to get started. Have several UFO it finish and several quilts in heed that I want to do. It was beautiful here today sun was shining and I still just set in house and reading and on pc. I need pray and a boot in the behind.
I gave to DIL for Christmas

oookay, then!
I don't think I am ever going to worry about organizing my stash again.
She has been collecting fabric since the 80s and she didn't wake up one morning and decide she was going to organize, she did it from the start!
I love containers, and I certainly love her organized - - was that a GARAGE??? LOL but, I couldn't help thinking: If I ever attempted this, I wouldn't have time to quilt anything, and I am struggling to get THAT done! (meaning: just putting the tops together)
I went into the big house today to find a pattern to make some vests for the 40 & 8 ... there are five containers under my quilt frame. I magically managed to pull out the correct bin (because I can see through them <g>), but before I got to the vest patterns, I found FIVE quilt tops and bats waiting to be quilted, two dress vests that I started two years ago that need to be finished, one wall hanging that I haven't begun to quilt (but it is sandwiched) two or three quilts that are just tops and FOUR sets of blocks that want to be put together ... I don't have time to organize! LOL <wave> :XD: :XD: :XD:
