Sending my package tomorrow, Thursday, the 14th (or for most of you, I guess it's already Thursday). Let's hope the canines don't open the package before my SP partner can do so. The firmie will be headed southeast and there is water involved at her location. Lori, I will send you a PM tomorrow after work regarding the shipping.
To everyone on here suffering from infirms, my thoughts and prayers. Feel better and get better pronto!!!
Love all the goodies everyone is receiving - such fun looking at the photos.
And to Krystyna - I'm am flabbergasted by your beautiful and extensive stash. I hope you don't mind if I used you as an example for my DH. He now thinks I don't have much fabric - you are a true inspiration and role model...!!! Thanks - I owe you. lol.

I thought I would do the same thing. I'll show DH, Krystyna's stash and he will think my stash isn't quite as bad. Just think how many marriages and lives K's photos will save! lol If I keep adding to my stash, we will have to find another residence.

I know this has been covered before, but yes, the $10 is out of pocket. Then most of us add stuff we make or that we've stockpiled. And a lot of us shop dollar stores and use coupons so the cost isn't over $10.
I've been really busy reorganizing my stash ... so far only got three shelves done ... they are two bolts deep.

And here is part of the other side of my studio ... boxes of t shirts for embroidering on top and some finished veils below ... just a tiny piece ...

I am looking forward to getting our new house so I can set up my sewing room. I am staying with the in-laws for a little bit and sharing my mother in law's sewing room. I would never show pictures of that LOL. Two quilter's stashes combined YIKES. The scary part is 1/2 of my original stash is in storage. So, I have no idea how I will fit it all in the new house. I guess when we start looking I look for BIG sewing area! Luckily dh is very understanding of my addiction.

Awwww, Quiltymom, I hope you're feeling better soon. You've been ill for too long. I will step up my work on a special package that is coming your way ... hopefully it will cheer you up a bit.
ToomanyUFOs, clown costumes??? Oh my gosh, you HAVE to post pix. We have to see this!!!
As for my stash, yes the shelves are from Ikea. At one time I had a very active eBay business selling Catholic artifacts from estate sales and on behalf of some convents and parishes so I really had to get shelves up. They are quite deep and wrap around two walls from floor to ceiling. Yes, from Ikea, but they don't make this type any more. I still have a couple of shelves with statues on them that I need to finish repairing and get sold and out of here. The other two walls have an L shaped desk that hold two of my machines. There are two plastic drawers underneath and a small filing cabinet ... and more bins of fabric and lace. It's a tiny space so every inch counts.
I'm glad that my photos will help you convince your hubbies that you need more fabric! Mine goes shopping with me and is a good bargain hunter. BUT ... no more shopping. I still have many, many, many more bins of fabric to sort through. Many. Besides quilting (and, of course, veil making) I make scarves, aprons and embroidered tea towels to sell. So happily all that fabric is a business expense -- we are incorporated in Delaware.
