I've been quilting since 1982, so for 32 years. EGAD! Has it really been that long? You would think after all this time I'd be a better quilter. I'm not a professional - not a teacher - I don't quilt for money - I haven't written any books or made any patterns - I just make quilts for my family, my friends and for me. I have won ribbons at quilt shows and prizes at quilt challenges so I'm not bad, but I could really be a lot better. Quilting is my passion...I love it!
I have amassed quite a stash of fabrics. Some fabrics are leftover from quilts I've made, some are for quilts I haven't started yet, and some I thought were pretty or too cute or really AWESOME and I just had to have it! Some fabrics, well, I really don't know why I bought it.
GOT FABRIC It's a Statement, not a Question |
Talking and blogging it out helps. I've already approached my family about this dilemma and ideas are flowing like wine. Or maybe ideas and wine are both flowing? Anyway they are all quite computer savvy, THEM not ME. They've come up with ideas about a website that I don't completely understand but I get the idea. I've passed the idea past my friends and they seem to like it, and wine too.
I'm a Grandma who loves to quilt and I'm just now learning to blog. As far as selling things, like fabric, I don't do well. I'm not good at garage sales. I end up giving things away. All I want is an easy way to recoup some of the money I have spent on fabric so when I get to Washington I can buy some more. OK, OK, I know this sounds a bit obsessive, and maybe it is, or clearly it is, BUT what will I do when I get REALLY old and can't afford the price of fabric? Huh?
Is this my first blogging argument? It's only day 2 and thoughts in my brain are at odds with each other. I'm arguing with myself. I guess the daunting task ahead of me - MOVING my stash - has me in a tailspin.
I love the hat!!

ReplyDeleteThanks Pam!!!
DeleteWhere in Washington are you moving too?? We moved from Chicago to Reno with 3 cats & a dog. Vet gave us little blue pills that we gave them every am & then put them in their carriers. They only got dry food on the trip & they did fine. Had only 1 littler box that we put in the bathroom at the Ramada Inns we stayed in along the way. Had a portible cloth travel crate for Marley & it wasn't bad at all. AACK!!! You can't move!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe are on the Olympic Peninsula in a small town. The move went great, both for the dog and cat and for us too. It turns out that our cat was fine in the crate in the back of the car as long as we didn't cover it up. She wanted to see what was going on. All is well, but thanks for the advice!
