I'm slipping (on topic)
Boy, I'm sliding down hill fast!
Like many of you, I can usually manage to NOT find enough material of exactly the right color for binding in my stash. Sure, I'll have the perfect fabric in that stash somewhere, but nowhere near enough. This means an emergency trip to the LQS. And, naturally, you're never *really* sure if that fabric that looked so perfect in the LQS is really, truly right for the quilt. So a binding is usually good for at least a 10 yard haul from the LQS. And thread to match each fabric. I'm now on my third quilt in a row where I had plenty of just the right binding fabric. In fact, every fabric on each of these quilts, front and back, came completely from stash. This is a disaster! How are the poor LQS's going to survive if this keeps up? They are probably already laying off employees as I type. I feel so guilty... -- Kathy A. (Woodland, CA) Queen of Fabric Tramps http://www.kayneyquilting.com , remove the obvious to reply |

Don't worry Kathy. I'm working on our guild's raffle quilt. I've more than
made up for your lack of purchases. Since this is a rather scrappy quilt in pinks and yellows, the amount of fabric is way out of whack with the amount I'm using. I'm billing the guild for the solid setting blocks and border fabric, but I think I'm going to keep the pieces I've bought to make the 9 patch blocks and appliques. I have even raided friends' stashes, so I have MORE than enough fabric for this quilt. FYI, we are making the block from the cover of the "Pink Lemonade" book. It's going to be very bright and festive. I'll let you all know when we start selling tickets! "Kathy Applebaum" wrote in message . com... Boy, I'm sliding down hill fast!

It means you are subconsciously saving up for huge shopping at PIQF.
Got the class schedule and entry materials in the mail yesterday. Are you entering anything this year? marcella In article , "Kathy Applebaum" wrote: Boy, I'm sliding down hill fast!
