I just love the way you express yourself: We have..., we got too busy.., we had..., we quit :lol: , we grew... You are so lucky. I wish my DH shared at least one of my hobbies. He has helped a little when I do wedding cakes. He helps with structures or delivering. But most of all he helps by staying out of the kitchen, and by being tolerant of the mess and my irritablility. (Stress has a way of making me "mean" sometimes.

I have a huge stash, most of it bought at resell shops, thrift shops, antiques shops and yard sales. Way too much for me. But you have outdone me by far. Your stash is very neat compared to mine. I do have it sorted by polka dots, stripes, antique, gingham, plaids and then by colors. We took the doors off the closet which was 8 feet wide and put in shelves. Also filled the kitchen cabinets and antique hutch. But I also have about 200 quilting books and that many magazines also.

My husband has 3 electric guitars, 1 acoustic guitar, 2 amps, a violin and lots of guitar magazine he never throws away.

I have lots of quilt magazines and plastic canvas books.

I also have taken 20,000 pictures the last 12 years. I used to do weddings; the ones the photographer does not take; the bride and bridesmaids getting ready; doing their hair. and at the dance. I have taken ones of the photographer taking pictures; pictures of their friends. I don't do this anymore because it is just to long a day for me. Now I just take pictures mostly for the church events; the spring and fall prime rib dinners; the church picnic(about 400 that day) first communion, baptisms, the server kids every Sunday; the people who take up gifts, the ushers; children's masses. We have the biggest church picnic around. Serve close to 3,000. People come from everywhere. Our town is only 150 people. Guttenberg, Iowa has the only Catholic school left in Clayton county and we give about $50,000 a year to it. Ladies at church hand quit 8 or 9 quilts through the winter for the church auction. They get together once a week. Three of us get the food on the table; sometimes we need a second table and clean up. The quilters only quilt. Everyone brings something to eat. Senior citizens are invited to eat and they take leftovers home. I take pictures there.

How many quilts do you produce a month? Do you do any chairity quilts? You could give wonderful classes with all those goodies!
