You can split your time between PWinston and me! I'll come get you anytime. My house only gets cleaned once every couple months whether it needs it or not! Cooking happens every day though. Let me know when to meet your plane!

Hmmm you can clean, sort fabric and cook...I have plenty of room. Hope you won't mind DH, he fusses a bit but that is just the way he is :).

hperttula123 03-26-2011 06:24 PM

lasagna...babysitting!!!! Wow...where do I sign? Lol. :)

Murphy 03-26-2011 08:31 PM

I have room for you here in Iowa. Have been in Milan and Bergamo; great parmesan cheese there. However, I have a feeling he will take you with him fabric and all (smile).

Pippa...when you move make sure the new house has an extra room for your quilting stash..or better yet a place with a guest cottage for your quilting studio & lots of shelves for the stash *L* Hope it all works out for you...Linda B.

Agree. Add up the cost of all the material that is suggested to be thrown away and point out the cost of replacement at the new prices. Dollar talk often works.

OOh, Jan in VA, that even sounds good to me. Love the country.

martyquilter 03-27-2011 03:52 AM

Well I think you have found lots of homes tocome to and lots of ideas for getting that fabric here... you guys have provided several chuckles this morning... what would we do without all you guys to help us on our way!!!...but I am sure he would bring you & your stash no matter what...but just in case you have lots of ideas to work from!!

Happy Tails 03-27-2011 03:54 AM

WOOOOHHOOOO I'm single too, so with your stash, my stash and pippa's stash, we wouldn't care about the price of fabric going up....hmmmm let's see, we could grow our own food, we could all sell our homes and buy a huge place with the most magnificant quilting rooms, lol (meaning we wouldn't have to work) and we'd have all the time in the world for quilting!!!!!!I'm in!!!!

jhoward 03-27-2011 04:05 AM

I'm inviting you to live in MN. The winters aren't always fun, but that gives reason to stay inside to quilt. I have a spare room!!! I really don't like to clean or cook...so a good trade....

uniquelynancy 03-27-2011 04:17 AM

You girls are too funny!!ROTF! Even my DH is enjoying this conversation! Thank goodness I don't have this problem but if I ever do I'll know exactly what to do!!

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

OMG........he really didn't say that, now did he?

If he did, just one question.....

has he had a good meal since that statement?

gigi10 03-27-2011 04:31 AM

Okay, come on. You can have a room of your own. Between your fabrics and mine, we will have lots of fabric to work on. I already have a sewing room, with great light. I am a fair cook and would be glad to learn from you. Do u have dogs and how do you feel about a handy man husband(he is all mine...I have had him for 42 yrs)? Do you like flowers, only a small spot, that don"t take much time from quilting? We would have lots of fabric shops to play .....I know that is a key point in your decision........LET ME HEAR SOON.

scrappylady 03-27-2011 04:36 AM

Your welcome to come to Missouri. I haven't had a "mean Lasanga" since I left Michigan. A lady from Italy would make Italian dishes for us when she couldn't pay for her doctor visit to my father. BOy was that some good food!!!!!
Sounds like we could move you from state to state..country to country. MAybe this is a chance for you to travel and see the world!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup:

thequilteddove 03-27-2011 04:44 AM

ah you live in italy! i'm on my way!

Marion Jean 03-27-2011 04:46 AM

So find something of his that's important to him and tell hiim he can't take it with him :wink:

Notimetoquilt 03-27-2011 04:49 AM

Hey Marcia

I'm in Ottawa, Canada and I have a 3 bedroom house to myself. You can even start touring Canada too.

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.

hmross 03-27-2011 04:58 AM

Not take your stash with you? Well you would always point out if you can't take it with you then he will have to replace it when you get moved. And be sure to point out how expensive that could be. And then he can decide to let you just take your stash to save him money. :)

ConcreteSher 03-27-2011 04:59 AM

After reading all of these replies, I'm thinking of putting myself up for adoption! I'm a terrible cook, and not much better at housecleaning, but I can do beautiful things with concrete and keep the yard looking great!

lillybeck 03-27-2011 05:07 AM

You can come live with me and bring all the scraps you want. We moved one time and when my DH found the empy Christmas boxes I had moved I thought he was going to have a cow :lol:

gigi10 03-27-2011 05:11 AM

this was the best. I was in my sewing room lol all by myself. thank you to every one.

marymay 03-27-2011 05:17 AM

Need to use your material for glasses,dishes and even your Pots/Pans) if need be. But if that does not work. Move here to Flordia with me. I have a lot of room.No cooking please. Hubby is a great cook.

Oh my gosh!! I need you. Our place has been put on the garden tour this year and I'm crazy trying to get it ready. Three huge rooms upstairs. One for you, one for Pippa and the third for the quilting stuff. You guys can even have your own bathrooms. Pippa can come and cook, you can do my garden and we can all quilt in the evenings. P.S. I don't clean upstairs unless some one is coming!!

stitchofclass2 03-27-2011 05:22 AM

I would start boxing and shipping them to wherever you are moving to. My niece's husband decided they should live in a large motor home and she gave up everything except her sewing machine (as dictated by her husband). That lasted a year and then he bought a large house. Sometimes they are unable to see how these decisions affect the move. Good luck. I am sure that if he insists on leaving the fabric, you will find a way to replace it at HIS cost. Teehee.

Heavenly Threads 03-27-2011 05:23 AM

Thanks for this...It is great to laugh early in the morning...thanks everyone for your comments...better then medicine

I love this idea!! I'll have to remember it.

GlitzyMe 03-27-2011 05:28 AM

Start investing in space bags. Your stash will magically shrink and dear hubby will be non the wiser ;-)

quiltaroni 03-27-2011 05:36 AM

Notimetoquilt and I are only 60 miles apart,maybe we could share you?

Shirlrh 03-27-2011 05:38 AM

Looks like you have plentyof offers. But Milan, Italy??? Who could leave that gorgeous country? I have visited there and just feel in love with Italy!!!

Pegleg 03-27-2011 05:47 AM

You can always use it for "packing material" to cushion your china and crystal or any other delicate thing that needs cushioning during the move.
