Over the years my tastes in fabrics have changed drastically and I either need to sell some fabric or just give it away. My problem is, who do I give it away too. I only have a few short hours to sew every day so in those hours I would love to do work on whatever makes me the happiest.<BR/><BR/>Happy New Year.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02913186572692140953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31940858.post-14392590123597397502008-01-02T13:15:00.000-05:002008-01-02T13:15:00.000-05:00You forgot one thing for your trip...buy lots of f...You forgot one thing for your trip...buy lots of fabric!

I did a major purge about 3 years ago and got rid of fabric and projects that didn't make me itch to stitch so what I have left are the things I love and it is so much more fun to quilt now. Hope you find some surprises along the way too.Juliann in WAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15895551530087690102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31940858.post-7246971427380085632008-01-01T21:24:00.000-05:002008-01-01T21:24:00.000-05:00Happy New Year!

Each year I kept only what I thought I wanted to finish. And each year I gave away a few more. I think I've culled out all the ones I don't want - last year I gave only one away. Time will tell I guess! :-)Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125491177774966237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31940858.post-89845652170070118082008-01-01T18:54:00.000-05:002008-01-01T18:54:00.000-05:00great post!
