It's good to know we are not the lone ranger here! I have the same problem. But I love having this problem. Sometimes it's like Christmas. I start looking for something and find something else that I haven't seen in years and I get soooooo excited.

KathyE, you sound like me. I have a very short memory (always have had) and I'll go looking for something and come across something I didn't remember having and be really thrilled to find it, my DH just laughs at me and says every day is like Christmas to me.

I know what you mean! My cookbook collection got out of hand. 9 cases now stored in the basement. 2 five shelve bookcases left in my quilting room. My goal is to use all my stash up now before I buy more.(trip to Padukah doesn't count) At least my quilting room is organized right now and I don't look like I have a room for the hoarders show. Happy quilting!

I made a prairie pointer out of heat resistant Mylar. I took my 45 degree ruler and mark the 45 sides, cut it out, them mark 2 & 3, inch line from the point down and a center mark for when I iron. I just put the fabric on the bottom, fold the side of the fabric over to meet the center marks and press. It works great for me. I always get the same size prairie points this way.
