OK, so I'm packing. I'll be moving in less than a month. Boring boring, I know. Believe me, I'd much rather be sewing... A couple of things I have learned so far:
Smart thing:
Taking pictures of your belongings in the drawers or locations where you store them so you can put them back the way you had them before you move. Trust me, your head will be so full of stuff you won't remember.
Dumb thing:
Underestimating just how much stuff you have. I never thought I had "a lot" of fabric. After putting it in bins and boxes, I can see how much space it takes up.
These six bins
and these five (soon to be six) boxes are filled with fabric. When I can make a quilt solely from fabrics in my scrap bins, like this...
and I hardly put a dent in my stash, that's a wake up call. I need to make MORE quilts, not less, and I need to be LESS fussy and Arty. After all, like I keep telling my students,
"It's only fabric. It isn't Gold. It isn't doing you any good in your stash."
Must Make More Quilts.
Oh gosh, I can't wait!
