If Fabric could Speak
 

I have some fabric that I bought and put with other fabric in a "special place" in my sewing room. Started cleaning out scraps and refolding, found it and now I cant remember what the heck I was going to make with it. Honestly, I am talking a few yards all together. Next time I will put in a post it note to tell me what I had planned with it. Wish it could tell me. Last year I did this and used it for other projects then afterwards found the pattern it went with.....

I do that a lot. I put the pattern with fabric that I have chosen for that pattern and then put it somewhere and when I find it again....I either wonder what I was thinking or I decided something else would look better with it. I blame it on 'senior moments.'

Mine would say "I get no respect"

I've forgotten why I bought the fabric - like you, I've misplaced fabric.

I forget to put it away - the cats sleep on it. One time the ferrets dragged a whole yard into their cage.

If fabric could speak mine would be saying things like:
"Let me out of this cupboard"
" I'm tired of living in the scrap basket, I want to be something!"
"Ha, ha, find me if you can!"

Cute comments and maybe the things some of my fabrics might say!

If fabric could speak, mine would say "Ouch!"

I wonder what percentage of the fabric sold to quilters ever makes its way into a quilt. At my house I'm afraid the number would be in the single digits. <sigh>

Oooh, Dunster. That's just like garment sewers who use only about 25 percent of the many, many patterns they buy.....

Talk about a brain fart - I was going through my scraps and I can't remember the quilts I made from some of the fabric. I went through a period where I made about 25 quilt tops for charity in 3 months and I am guessing that what the forgot me fabric is from. Since about 1/3 of my fabric is still in cardboard boxes, it is probably saying "let me out of here".

This is generally why I only buy for projects as not just for stash. I'm afraid that I would a) forget why I bought it; or b) by the time I found it again, I'd hate it!
