Hi, thanks for noticing my avatar. They are Ukranian Easter Eggs. Yes, I made them all. I took a workshop one year and was hooked. I'm not an artist and they're not perfect but I had soooo much fun making them. They look difficult but when broken down into several smaller steps anyone can do them. Susan

It's NOT a problem dearie, go forth and buy. With a large stash, you won't have to run out and search for fabric when you want to begin a new project - unless of course you want to LOL

We all do we will never run out of fabric but just in case we can buy some this week altho we probably don't know what we are going to sew with the new fabrics. I used to say I would have to live to 105 to use mine all up but it has grown some since than I do love to share with others and let them pic a color out of mine to go with theirs. So come on by.

It's a problem??? No wonder my DH just rolls his eyes at me! :mrgreen:

I always go through my stash, and sometimes make an entire quilt from stash. BUT, the stash just NEVER seems to diminish. If nothing else, it seems to grow! :roll:

And, of course, there are the fabrics that are toooo pretty to cut up so they get petted alot. LOL

Enjoy

Oh don't say that Whinnytoo,cause I think I'm doomed. I think I'm more of a buyer and collecter than a doer. I'm in trouble I think. How to make myself cut into the fabric is a BIG road block.
