WOW = WIPs On Wednesdays
Yes, it's all mine and this is only 2x boxes unpacked. I'm beginning to realise that I might have to re-consider my 'essential' stack again and have some kind of sale. There's just too much. And I have to accept now that each time I make up one of my quilts, I do like buying new fabric for the project specifically. Of course, every quilter needs something of a stash - it's vital. I just have too much. Still too much...and I really thought I'd cut back enough already. Seems not.
And then there's the fabric dilemmas, like this one: I love this medieval rose design. I purchased it for my DD for a quilt I was going to make her (which she doesn't want!). Now what should I do with this beautiful fabric? Get rid of it? I might have the perfect project for it one day...... or I might not. Who knows?
I bought all these fabrics because I loved them, parting with them is going to be hard!
What's your WOW?
Esther you really can never have too much fabric! I now have a purpose built walk in fabric cupboard and it gives me so much pleasure just to look, touch and play with my fabric. Even if I never use the fabric, just having it brings me joy.
ReplyDeleteI think that last fabric would be fantastic for fussy cutting!! There are those of us who are just creating a stash who think you to be loco!! No such thing as too much fabric :)
ReplyDeleteOh sure, I also think there's no such thing as too much fabric...just too little floor space to keep it in !! I have to adapt to my environment!
ReplyDeleteJust refer to yourself as a collector rather than a quilter. All the guilt goes away...and buy more shelving.
ReplyDeleteLove all your fabrics! I don't envy you still sorting, I have just finished a major tidy up of my very small space :)
ReplyDeleteHi Esther, I sent you an email earlier this week, did you get it? Regards Glynis
ReplyDeleteOh, Esther, I am with you, I like to start new projects with new fabrics, and my tastes change. I say donate what you can part with to a group that makes philanthropic quilts...
ReplyDeleteI love your stash. It's all so nicely organized!
ReplyDeleteI think we should have a folder in the group of stash photos LOL I also have too much and don't think I will use it all. Also I forget what I have and then another mess happens. Good luck parting with it. I did and felt good but more of mine will have to go too.

I bought some of that red roses medieval fabric and made a lap quilt. It was suppose to be a table runner but dh loved the fabric so i went back and bought what they had. It was on clearance for $3 a yd. What a steal.
ReplyDeleteI do not blog but here is a link to a photo on my facebook page so you can see what I did with the fabric.

I wonder why I missed this week....
ReplyDeleteI had what I considered a really nice stash, and I suppose I still do have. But, my favorite quilts to make are scrappy quilts.
I feel like I'm getting low on choices....I'm really not though. I can still keep myself busy for a few years with what is in my room.
I have one 12 section storage unit (The ones that you can have the fabric baskets in if you choose) and then 2 6 unit ones and they are still pretty full.
