I did not read all your posts from everyone but perhaps I should. I hav set some goals I fi d attainable that allow for an occasional treat as well as a target to finish certIn projects. I am trying to be more careful about starting new projects. I have made a friend of mine an a countability part er that I I share my goals, slips and Progress with. At 56 I have faced the fact that I can never use up all my fabric in my life. I am teaching some new quilters and we started from the very beginning. I am putting together fabric packets for them from my closet and sell them to them at half price. Lots of them are having a hard time financially so it helps them and I am stashing a bit of money too. They don't pay me for teaching but they have bought over $1200.00 in fabrics since I started in February. I am hoping it helps. I also keep a log that I make myself record what I sell, buy amd use in hopes I see a gradual decrease.

You make me hide my head in shame. My tiny house is getting so overwhelmed with never started and UFO's that I am having a contracter draw up plans to close in my carport to organize it all in. My thought is that it is time to hide the hoarding.

Hi Mary, - my favorite part of quilting is hand sewing the binding - weird, huh? I live in the San Fernando Valley but might be in Arizona next month on vacation. Maybe we can work something out together - Karon

Mary, I'm driving to Los Angeles on Friday and will head back on the 1st. PM me and I will stop on my way back and finish some of the quilts for you. I'll return them to you when I'm in Az about 6-8 weeks later. Let me know how I can help.
