This is my currant project...a disappearing nine patch, I vow to make a dent in my stash...do you believe me? I actually set some rules for myself I have to make a quilt where I no buy...before I can use one of my quilt kits..or purchase fabric. The border I plan to use is cats....catfish in snorkles, deep sea diving etc. The fabric was purchased probably a good 8 years ago..my bad.

Please leave comments and let me know I'm not out in cyberspace by my lonesome

I am folding every piece of fabric I own, and labeling how much yardage is on each piece....yes I can get obsessive at times.....and yes I am known to be commpulsive...the sad thing is within a couple of months I will have a big mess again. I really thought my shed pix were on this camera...need to go track where I put them. I can't move my overflow into it until it is wired for power.

tootles for now

the best laid plans...

so finally my "shed " is finished. It does still need to be wired for electricity. In the mean time I decided to organize my stash...it is in the process of being folded and labeled ( amount of each cut). It is taking a lot longer than I judged...story of my life. But I know that in the end I will be a very happy quilter.

I will get pix up soon...famous last words

where to stash the stash

My dh has decided that I have way to much stuff, it's taking over the house...I am lucky enough to have a sewing room....but I also scrap book and that is in the dining room/kitchen.
to make a long story short, he and his brother are building me a 14x16 storage shed in the backyard...it will have electricity..air conditioning..our summers are outragously hot..
I will post some picks when I get more time..
I am trying to organize fabric..

This quilt is made from my moda stash (silly safari). My dear grandaughter laid out the blocks to suit her..it will be hers once I finish it....

Hopefully this summer I will be able to sit her down to a sewing machine and start her quilting, she shows and interest...she lives with me so it's not a matter if when she visits,,more like when nana feels up to it.

How many people believe that the stash multiples at night? It seems the more I use the more I have..

The local quilt store has "thursday club" where all of us addicts can share what we have made...it can be down right intimating some of our ladies are way above and beyond my skill level....

The owner put together a quilt she called "charms and jellyrolls" the pic is the one I made...one jelly roll plus 2 charms...plus borders

It is a huge quilt 85 x 97 I believe...

I am really new to blogging and loading photos etc. Just bear with me for awhile...I am the one in blue jeans, glasses and white shirt.. I always wear jeans...
