Bringing It All Together

I have read over several interesting blogs in recent days, and am very pleased to learn that other women out there like to just fondle their fabrics. As my introductory blurb above suggests, I don't get a lot of my projects finished - or even started, for that matter - but I do spend tons of time sitting amongst my stash of gorgeous fabrics, touching, matching up various combinations, rediscovering purchases from weeks, months, and even years ago. These pictures represents such a minuscule percent of my stash. But I love every piece, and save every scrap.


















So, saying this, after reading those other blogs where quilters talk about their fabric stashes so lovingly, doesn't seem quite so "odd" any more. Sure, my daughters say this is dorky, but other stash owners know the feeling.

Over a year ago, I began blogging on another site, but was dissatisfied with all the ads, pop-ups, graphics, and miscellaneous garbage, so I copied off all the entries and saved them to a separate space. I really like going back to see what I was doing and thinking - and the English teacher in me won't let me trash any written work! Records! We must keep records! So to review my history, I am somehow going to connect those old blogs here. First, however, I must figure out how this is to be accomplished.

I have a length of Liberty of London fabric that a friend brought back from England in the mid 80's. The plan was to make a beautiful smocked dress for my daughter. That never happened but I cannot bring myself to cut it and make anything out of it. It's so soft, smooth and cool to the touch, like a baby's cheek.

Oh....fabric! My favorites are the reproduction fabrics, especially those from the Smithsonian collection.
