Looks like everything is in great shape and now it's time to get quilting.

I moved in 1966 and am still missing a box of good knives. Guess they are gone forever since I have moved once more since then and they still didn't show up.

I moved here 8 years ago & finnaly got to the fabric in the closet from the move. Still have boxes in all the bedrooms & keep finding things. What an eye opener.

Oh, must be some material that I got in the garage sale boxes. I then pulled another piece out, and the same thing. I don't even remember where they came from. lol I ended up going through most of it and found enough to do 3 of the quilts.

What a wonderful finding!! Serendipity for sure.

Oh boy, can I relate! All my stuff was packed up in late 07 to "stage" the house. Moved in early 08, but didn't finish the basement sewing room til spring of 10. I just stuffed things into my fabric cabinets to quickly unload the boxes. In addition, I had a lot of fabric in baskets and plastic containers. Have yet to reorganize everything. And then we have the little problem of where to store the new stuff I bought. The other day I ran across a UFO I had completely forgotten about. Still haven't found my pretty little Gingher pewter embroidery scissors. I am hopelessly ill and loving it!
