I saw the photo on your other blog and wondered how you do this. I must tell you that I love your quilts and knitting, you are an inspiration, such sweet and simple stitching. I have ivy geraniums in my potting shed but cannot leave them out in our winter, too cold. Thank you for all your beautiful photos.

As for your fabric collection, I have come to the realization that I will never live long enough to use all of my fabric. Somehow, that does not stop me from buying a great piece when I see it.

I, too, decided to just use some of it up. So I grabbed some scraps and some random fat quarters and just cut and sewed to my hearts content. I now have a really cute scrappy camp quilt. I still need to figure out what to do with the borders (pieced or strips of fabric). Regardless, I don't know when I've enjoyed putting a quilt top together more. You blocks are great, I love the blue with the brown.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423024947233260195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251233123248784167.post-50677352864235184662017-08-12T15:51:21.527-07:002017-08-12T15:51:21.527-07:00this post made me laugh, I'm in the same posit...this post made me laugh, I'm in the same position as you and i know quite well that i can never ever use up my whole collection of fabric , nor even the scraps.... and i cannot resist more.i showed part of my cupboard stash on ig the other day much to everyone else's pleasure and i have decided that i will treat it like any other household treasure and just delight in it !<br />asa you say .there are some that i don't think i will ever use , so as I'm getting a bigger cupboard i'll have a mini clear out too.<br />love your new blocks , look forward to the rest of it too.<br />enjoy your treasure xx <br />love susan <br />susiestitch1 Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00603725304797415950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251233123248784167.post-25062196965096302992017-08-12T13:53:32.624-07:002017-08-12T13:53:32.624-07:00You blocks are great.

Artists......paint and brushes, embroiderers ......cottons in every shade imaginable. It goes on and on. And it's not just women. What my husband has in his shed is unbelievable and he is convinced he is going to use everything one day.

I was in a shop recently where the owner said that you should only sew with fabric that you love and give what you don't love so much to someone who will enjoy it, but sometimes you just have to start sewing with them and it's amazing how much they still appeal to you. It looks like you are off to a great start.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05578906262073646500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251233123248784167.post-67043531090519661402017-08-12T05:25:16.120-07:002017-08-12T05:25:16.120-07:00I have so much fabric too and will never be able t...I have so much fabric too and will never be able to use it all!
