ohhhhh I am sooo glad I am not the only one.! I buy "more" than I sew. I love finding new material and just cant seem to pass it up...I imagine their are lots of
"US" out there.

As a woman without a stash, I am drooling over your pictures. What great projects to work on!

butterjoy 02-28-2011 06:26 AM

If any of you do not want or need the extra fabrics, please send them to me :) Thanks!

Stogsdill 02-28-2011 06:32 AM

Some recent finishes!

susie0808 04-10-2011 06:18 AM

Wow!!!! You have alot of work ahead of you!!! I agree with starting with the fastest project first!!!

Janet My 04-10-2011 06:32 AM

OK, I haven't gotten to page 17 yet.... but you have a serious issue with WIP, and I see that you really like turtles.

You really need to join the UFO group. I will be right beside you.... I have a mess to clean up too, but not as many as you.

Good luck

Oh, and unless you are named on your boyfriends policy, you may have a problem getting your things covered if there is a loss. (At least that's how it is here in NY. I'm in the industry.) You may be better off getting your own policy to cover your things.

lol -- very true. as a matter of fact, i've realized that i'm in the same situation with my scrapbooking as well. So for the rest of 2011 - NO NEW PROJECTS!! I found a wonderful quilt-a-long on the internet that I've already picked stuff out of my 'stash' to use. I'm going to clean out these projects, bring my scrapbooking stuff to the empty shelves, and then get caught up there (i'm 7 years behind) -- after that I will complete a project from idea to purchase to finish before starting another one. I have a feeling it will be 2013 before I'm caught up in both - but man what fun I'm going to have for the next several months!!

I am not named on the bf's policy - but I went ahead and got a policy of my own.

I've posted a few finished projects since page one -- and of course I LOVE TURTLES!!

I am 'in' the UFO group - but this spring has been full of special orders and occasions (babies, graduations) -- i did finish one for january I think - so I have a few to get caught up!

Your fabrics and kits are making me drool! Gorgeous!!
And so organized!

pjaco 04-10-2011 06:53 AM

Sometimes I feel that way too.

So having that many things already decided is very impressive to me.


Cottontop 04-10-2011 06:56 AM

Surely wouldn't want to lose any of that stash or your beautiful wip's, especially the boomerang, love those colors so much,.

pocoellie 04-10-2011 09:37 AM

You have been BUSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JanetM 04-10-2011 10:42 AM

Yep, you have way more than me...Phew, I feel so much better now. Thanks... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Edit: i just saw all the purses and little bags you made....so nice!!! Where did you find those great fonts????

quilter68 04-10-2011 10:50 AM

You win! I know that I passed 21 os the photos passed but I forgot.

I think if I work hard I can finnish my projects by the end of the year. I like your idea of taking pictures for insurance. If I post copies of the projects in my sewing room I will have incentive.

Good luck with your 'purchase hiatis'. (sp.)

normasews 05-26-2011 09:02 PM

Ok, I don't feel as bad. :D I have about 4-5 UFOs.

montanajan 05-26-2011 09:08 PM

I absolutely love your color choices - WIPs/PP, stash - all of it.

montanajan 05-26-2011 09:22 PM

Love your organization - want to come & help me?

slk350 05-26-2011 10:06 PM

LOL You better get sewing. I couldn't finish all that in the rest of my life. Sewing 24/7 might be a start

Jandylou 05-26-2011 10:09 PM

I love all your projects and how organized you are with them. I have lots of WIP's and UFO's that I lised last year and started trying to complete 2 old ones before starting a new one! It worked for a while and I got some done. But, I love buying the fabric and patterns!!! OMG do I have patterns!!!! I keep telling myself when I retire in 4 years I won't be able to afford "as much" shopping so I'm getting stocked up now!!! I enjoyed allyour pictures. Sandy in Indiana

My sentiments exactly! You got nothing on me sister! LOL I, too, am working on my finishes! :)

CraftsByRobin 05-30-2011 07:15 AM

Hey Jessica ... how are you doing? I've been busy with work and came by to check on you and I noticed you've been VERY busy. I have so much to catch up on the board as I haven't had much time.

Wish I could come and spend a week with you and learn the embordiery as I have a machine but have never used that feature ... :( Maybe some day I'll get around to it. I've not done any quilting lately and it's driving me nuts but I have so much to do work wise with my new job! Love your work and projects ... have a great day!

dcrose 05-30-2011 07:23 AM

We could be sisters. LOL

Mariposa 05-30-2011 07:28 AM

Wow! Thanks for sharing! Now I need to go get busy! ;)

nanababy 05-30-2011 08:12 AM

How old are you and do you have time to finish all that. Maybe you could open a shop, ha!!! I can tell that you have quite a creative heart... Show us as you finish each and every project.

nativetexan 05-30-2011 08:38 AM
