I think if it keeps up my going to be having the same problems all you guys are talking about. However, I am currently cutting for a quilt so hopefully this will use up a good bit of stash that I have.Sew It's Handmadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12262374894633511057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881506707057153454.post-48663259689650887902009-09-23T17:26:36.803-07:002009-09-23T17:26:36.803-07:00I can't even count the times I've echoed y...I can't even count the times I've echoed your words. NO MORE FABRIC, I tell myself. I'm not quite as disciplined as you, but I have been using making isolets mostly from scraps. It really does seem like my stash grows instead of diminishes, though.

I guess that I just need that little fabric fix on a regular basis, and online shopping in the evening is sooo convenient. <br />These days I'm fortunately back in my sewing room, so there will be no "surprise" packages in the mail for a while.<br />When I think of it; the folding fabric thing might just be the solution to my cravings...Nina Lise@Mrs Moenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04943912994076653225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881506707057153454.post-69694810528943350252009-09-23T07:19:04.022-07:002009-09-23T07:19:04.022-07:00Thank you for your soo LOVELY mail!

So stash pictures may eventually make it to my blog, but maybe in separate posts...<br /><br />It's just one of the best things to give a quilt to someone who will love it.<br /><br />And thanks for stopping by my blog.

But I do not have it all in one place. Not everyone needs to know how much fabric I have. Plus, I'm not as prolific as you. So now I know that I definitely do NOT need more fabric. I'm going to try to better about getting more fabric!MichelleBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12518684189152417492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881506707057153454.post-35863052855231945962009-09-22T15:01:04.941-07:002009-09-22T15:01:04.941-07:00Call me cheap, but when I make a wall hanging or t...Call me cheap, but when I make a wall hanging or table runner for myself, I back it with muslin. I mean the backing is NEVER gonna be seen so why "waste" more expensive, good fabric on it?<br /><br />If it's something to be given away, I do use coordinating fabric.<br /><br />I buy a partial bolt of muslin off the shelf in a fabric store and it lasts me a long time. I'm not too particular but just give it the feel test and make sure the weave isn't too loose. Most muslin sold in stores is of decent quality.
