Now that all the drama is over (hopefully) I am thinking about all the sewing and quilting that I am going to do over the next 4 months while I am laid off. Since Mike and I are both on unemployment I will not be shopping for fabric but using my stash as I go along. I am very excited about this because it will be fun to start on those quilts that I have been wanting to make over the last few years. I had been printing out pictures & patterns of quilts I wanted to make over the years and then I started running out of room for a place for all these patterns so now I save them to my computer. I was looking thru the pieces of paper and my laptop and sometimes I wondered why I thought at that time I would liked that particular quilt. I have gone from liking very uniform quilts to very scrappy quilts. Problem with scrappy quilts you need a lot of scraps. I was thinking about going to the second hand store and buy shirts but with that problem you end up with everything but 100% cotton. My SIL's Mom uses any kind of fabric and I don't like the way it stretches so out of place so the second hand stores are not a option. I will have to make due with what I have and I'm sure I will be just fine as I look at all my fabric.
I always think I need more fabric and this is just part of that sewing disease.
