That's my "special stash"... that cabinet holds my favourites, McKenna Ryan fabrics, Loralie, batiks, bits I've bought for a specific purpose like motorbike fabric and co-ordinates for my son, horses for one of the girls, etc.
I have other drawers with fat quarters all sorted into colours, and another drawer with panels, another holds my butterfly fabric collection (that I don't have the heart to actually cut! lol)

I have a few WIP around the house. Oh, and maybe a few UFOs. Just some things to keep me busy on a rainy day LOL

I've got a few NESY's too....

Not Even Started Yet! ;-)

Blue Chicken - thank you for such fast action on the picture - that's a REALLY SPECIAL stash cabinet! Love that you're using it for fabric. I have a couple glass fronted cabinets that we use for more mundane things - wine glasses & such. I think I'll try to talk DH into letting me keep my stash in it! Would be a little strange in the dining room. Wonder if our friends would notice?

We have another cabinet that used to belong to my grandmother that has her wedding dinner set in it, and my mother's china set, and a few special bits and pieces. I'm eyeing it up for fabric storage now! LOL

My WIP list. I'm shocked to see how many I have. I'm so obsessive :evil: that I usually can't start a new Q until I finish the current one. Guess I'm not as obsessive as I thought. :lol: All are in Tucson with me. I can't think of any that are awaiting me in CT. :lol: But 2 of these will return there with me to be quilted! I thought I was going to quilt them in Tucson, but then those twins were born, and it has taken me the whole dern winter & then some to get them done. I think the chemo has REALLY slowed down my thought processes. :( I get to use the 'chemo brain' excuse for at least another 4 years.

Twin baby quilts - almost finished.

Double bed quilt - 3rd of 4 quilts made from old clothes DD gave me last summer to take my mind off chemo. I finished the first 2 and gave them to her & family in November. These 2 are Mile-a-minute with peach sashing from my stash. Layered and pinned (before I discovered spray adhesive).

Lap quilt - 4th quilt (top only) from DD's family's clothes. M-a-M with red sashing - I think - haven't looked at it since Nov!

Foundation-piecing from silk ties - begun about 5 years ago; languishing (I love that word - makes me think of Victorian ladies in too-tight corsets) in a box somewhere in my Tucson sewing room.

PaperPieced NYBeauty from Karen Stone book. 1 block done in '04. All the rest traced, fabrics ready to go. Another languishing WIP.

Repair of lap quilt originally made for batchelor son - well-loved by his wife and 9 and 7 year old sons. I've been given a reprieve on the repair until their house sells in Chicago, and they move to VA.

B you are so funny - you make me laugh! Promise me when you start something else, it'll be something you actually LIKE! :D

Joanne - thanks for sharing, I'm loving reading people's lists!

Blue - wow your stash cabinet is lovely - much nicer than china - hide that in a cupboard, stash rocks!!! :D

that's why they're not finished. if i loved them, they would be done.

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I mad a king size quilt for my Mum and she chose the pattern (luckily only a nine patch) AND the fabric, which I hated! I was glad to see the back of THAT one. Luckily she nagged me daily til I got it DONE! And now I'll make quilts for whoever asks but I'LL pick the fabric! :D

I usually like to finish one project before I start another because I like to feel like I've accomplished something :D However... I have not one, but TWO snowman/mitten wallhangings unfinished (one for me, one for my dd - might as well make two at the same time, right?) They were my first applique project and decided I HATE applique. My fusible web unfused, I'd never done an applique stitch on my machine and it didn't come out like I'd hoped. They're all sandwiched and basted, but I now detest them and it'll take me till next Christmas to even suck it up and quilt them. :lol:
Then I have a small bear paw wallhanging, also basted waiting for me to quilt it.
Actually just finished a baby quilt for a friend that just needs a label put on and that'll be completely done.
And my first, designed by me on my EQ6 I got for Christmas, flannel throw for my living room couch. It's about halfway pieced (not sure...haven't been able to work on it for about 6 weeks). I'm really excited about it because it'll be the first one that's all my design from start to finish. It's not a difficult or fancy pattern, but I love the fabrics and I love, love, love flannel quilts.
I think that's all the WIPs I have. The rest of you amaze me (in a GOOD way!) I might actually do more quilting if I had some in different stages, because then I could do whatever part of the process I feel like doing that day!
