    Hey, I like your thinking on this . If I really like the fabric , I am going to buy extras- so I can cut some and save some.

    I used to collect Christmas ornaments, but since my daughter passed away we don't put up a tree anymore. So I have cupboards full of Christmas ornaments, that I really don't want to get rid of, taking up space I could use for my quilting supplies. I know I need to find another spot for them.

    Scraps, scraps and more scraps; of every color! A while back I got ambitious and sorted the scraps into hues; reds, blues, greens, yellows, purples, pinks, yada, yada, yada. Decided I would make a Dresden Plate with them, THEN found the tutorial on here for a machine sewn Cathedral Window and took some of my larger pieces for that, THEN discovered a whole JoAnn bag of red, black and white fabric I had cut at my local LQS for an Irish Chain, and THEN found a work boot box full of red, black, grey and white!
    So, scraps, lots of scraps!!

    BTW-I hate blue!!! :roll:
    I'm still not sure...do you maybe hate blue??? LOL

    Gadgets and geehaws. Not too long ago I went thru all my boxes, bins, bags, totes, sacks, drawers, etc. and found 46 (yes, I did actually say 46!) replacement rotary cutter blades. I am also the one with enough freezer paper to cover a football field...couldn't find any locally one day and ordered a 48lb box from a restaurant supply business!

    I have LOTS of rose fabric. My favorite is pink roses. It always is my first choice. My other can't seem to live without are scissors. I love scissors. I really seem to have a soft spot for these two things. I also have too many books, too many fat quarters, and most of all too much fabric. My husband calls it my disease. He does say it with a laugh. I could not ask for a better husband than the one I have had for 43 years.
