In order to do that I will need to sew, sew, sew and use up lots of fabric! Another goal for me is that this will be another "finishing" year. Good luck to us both.

Of course, that's sort of easy to understand but I think I'm with you as I heal and get back into the swing of things. I imagine I'll only but for what I need (yardage) when necessary. Gosh, if I save money in the fabric department I could get a quilt top or two taken to the longarmer's I'm thinkin'. Always nice to visit with you. :)*karendianne.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15557033346962825857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292552408925652547.post-50427877471690134982013-01-05T21:37:34.180-08:002013-01-05T21:37:34.180-08:00Excellent goals, Pokey!

Most all my fabric has been hand me downs.Some of it is so old I wonder if it would be good to put in a quilt.I have donated some to a fellow quilter.

Not intentionally, really, but it is fun to find what I need right in my own basement (or living room, or dining room, or family room...). That doesn't mean I stopped adding to it, I travel a bit in the fall and always include a visit to my favorite shops in other states. Gotta make sure they are still there the next time I come to town!Tarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03455236914872943577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292552408925652547.post-84458098497678564802013-01-03T03:51:59.130-08:002013-01-03T03:51:59.130-08:00A great idea.....A great idea.....John'aLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745376345664784698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292552408925652547.post-45191840541766220642013-01-03T00:00:33.768-08:002013-01-03T00:00:33.768-08:00I think this a terrific idea- I have so much fabri...I think this a terrific idea- I have so much fabric I will never use it all in this lifetime - Happy New Year to you and yours,<br />Regards from Western Canada,<br />Annaquiltmom annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976120921532056369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292552408925652547.post-31790511140894088142013-01-02T22:07:15.241-08:002013-01-02T22:07:15.241-08:00I really do appreciate all the great thoughts and ...I really do appreciate all the great thoughts and ideas in this post!

My last couple of quilts have been mostly from stash. My stash isn't big....I have shoe box size containers that hold each color. Some colors have 2 boxes and then there are boxes for wild fabrics or 30's fabrics. It really is fun to see what can be made from what we have. I usually have to buy the backing but even that could be made from scraps. I'm in too. This will be fun to see what beautiful quilts can be made from our stash.
