Will we live long enough to make all the patterns and use up all our fabric??? I hope not :wink: :wink: :wink:

I can totally identify with you, at first I was printing off a lot of free patterns and putting them in my binder so I'd be organized but then I started using up WAY too much printer ink and my binder is full and I'm still a beginner so I'm not producing anywhere near as many as my brain wants to!

Does anyone use Delicious to tag the bookmarks you want to save? I've been going crazy adding to my Delicious list since I joined this board only two months ago!!!

iowabelle, I recently have gone through my huge stack of quilting magazines and have torn out only those quilts or ideas I want to save. I have recycled all that was left. It's really cut down on what I need to store. I am planning to organize the materials I've saved in file folders or in binders. Declutter and organize!

And you want us to help you out? We're all in the same boat, I fear.

I'm cleaning out my sewing room. LONG OVER DUE. I'm putting all my smaller pieces---------real scraps------in one bag. I think I'll cut strips to sew together until I have a strip long enough to circle the world---------------then make
mug rugs
place mats
purses
table toppers
lap robes
a sweat shirt jacket

Wanna help? lol

First of all-------------what size of project do you want to do?
How much time do you want to invest?


Maybe pick a simple pattern which you can complete rather quickly so you can move on to the next project.

The quilts and projects that I like the most I save as pictures in my picture file-----------in case I want to copy a project
