    I don't buy rulers and some other things that I really don't need, but I have a couple of photo boxes filled with extra notions and rotary blades and I did have second rotary cutters until I gave them to DD. I'm always needing more notions and I prefer leather thimbles and they tend to stretch out after a big project, so I buy a few when notions are on sale and then I can get a fresh one for the next big project.

    It's not silly or foolish or wasteful to have a lot of notions on hand. It's good planning.

    Cathyre, I like your designing style. I wish Hubby would listen to me. I want to move our bedroom to what I'm using for a sewing room and move the sewing room to our bedroom. We only need enough room for our bed, nightstands and maybe a dresser in a bedroom, so we should move. I need a lot of room for a sewing room and our bedroom is so much bigger. He refuses. I don't get it. It's really silly.

    the kitchen designer thought I had lost it , he couldn't understand someone planning a kitchen around sewing .
    Silly man ........

    see..now if that designer was a woman, she would have just nodded and smiled!

    Another name for OCQ could be Serial Quilter. I have a tee-shirt that says that. It is perfect for me. Let me see if I can find a picture. It is worth a chuckle.

    I FINALLY talked my DH into doing this, but first he's putting ceramic tile in both bedrooms, it's taking F-O-R-E-V-E-R. I'll be able to call it a Studio now even tho it's only a few more feet of space, lol

    I am much more careful with what I purchase. I dislike rulers that can only make one type of quilt with it. I find I am liking just simply sewing with strips now a days.

    I think that you are at the right site, OCQ is a common condition around here. I am pretty sure I have it!!!
