I used my fabric as packing when we moved. I filled every empty space with scraps and wrapped glasses dishes with the bigger pieces.

Reminds me of a funny story. Forgive me for being off-topic. My grandmother was a plant fanatic--got them everywhere she went. When I was a baby, we were on our way back home to CA fromvacation. You had to stop & be inspected at the border, as you were not allowed to take plants in. She had one in a paper bag on the car seat. The inspector reached in to take it, asking what's in the bag? She said the babies dirty diapers & he withdrew his hand like she had said, "rattlesnake." Any babies in the house? :lol:

Since I still work full-time, I don't have much time to quilt but if you did some cooking and some housework, we can have time to quilt together.

Paulette,
I LOVE Ottawa. I'll come live with you. And I have a cottage about an hour away on a lake, so we will have a summer quilting place too. I'll be there before sundown - you'll know me by the big trailer of fabric I'll be pulling. ;)

Ah-hah - - and then "donate" the (empty) pillow cases after she moves, right??

So I am looking for someone to adopt me and give me a home with all my stash. In exchange I can offer cleaning, cooking (I make a mean lasagna) or baby sitting. Please? I can't live without my fabrics!

Pippa

First, I have a beautiful (and vocal and demanding!) cat named Pippa....it would be hard to have two of you with the same name in one house! Here's my advice, though: tell him that you don't want to move and that if you HAVE to move, the fabrics have to go with you because it's cheaper than mental health drugs.
