Eureka!

I have found the perfect fabric for my appliqué heart quilt. The best part is that I found it in my own stash. I'm not able to work on this until the weekend, but now I'm feeling that I really can get this project finished. Hooray!

A big lie!

Well, not so much a lie. Just some wishful thinking. Empty closet - it's a fantasy. I would love to sew all of this in to quilts. Right now. Today. But I have been sewing and collecting fabric for two decades. Shopping from my stash and following blogs like Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville have been so helpful. I occasionally make "no more fabric shopping" pledges to myself, but I must be honest, new fabric can be inspiring. So I will try to use much more than I buy. And maybe look more at the photos of family and friends with new quilts more than I look in this closet.
