I recently had a big clean up of my linen cupboard and found dish cloths I have saved to use later from my kitchen tea (party before wedding to give kitchen things to bride). I have been married for 22 years so I think later is now! I have bought new cloths in between because I had forgot that these special ones were hidden away for 'later' so silly!Leeannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17148008932005586200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-56917888671699682262012-01-15T13:49:56.380-06:002012-01-15T13:49:56.380-06:00I have no problem at all cutting into "the go...I have no problem at all cutting into "the good stuff"... that's what it's for! To me, fabric is fuel for creativity, not a collectible. The only reason some of it sits untouched for too long is my tendency to acquire it faster than I use it up. <br /><br />To me the only difference between the fabric shelves and the scrap bins is piece size: it's all raw material for something.Venus de Hilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09917074683599515214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-91112419007561120042012-01-15T08:01:13.885-06:002012-01-15T08:01:13.885-06:00You've inspired me - I'm gonna cut in to s...You've inspired me - I'm gonna cut in to some good stuff today!

He explained that a stash is to use, but a collection is like a stamp collection - you just take it out every so often to look at it & then put it back away. A stash is much better to enjoy and use now. He was so right and so are you!Eliz.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07161684869792046543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-26208647802254090492012-01-14T17:02:53.394-06:002012-01-14T17:02:53.394-06:00Put me on that list to buy your bags of scraps too...Put me on that list to buy your bags of scraps too please!

But I am also a scrap user and I really enjoy making quilts from scraps, mine and anyone else's scraps. So saying that, put me on the list to purchase any of your scraps. I have a few purple scraps that you sent me. I have been using some of them in my scrap quilts and it makes me feel good to know that some of your fabric is in my quilts. I also think 2012 is a good year to move forward. I am all for that!Purple Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09614300010193583324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-29088976562682574932012-01-14T13:01:42.911-06:002012-01-14T13:01:42.911-06:00I'd buy a bag of your scraps, Wanda.

My rearing was "use up the old stuff first" which is fine when considering canned food in the pantry, but if I do that with my stash, I'll be hating every quilt because it is from "why did I buy that fabric" pieces that were bought before I knew what I liked.

I also grew up frugal and tend to keep saving my batiks, believing I'll have a better idea once I've used them. How ridiculous! I can afford to buy more. It has occurred to me I could die with my batiks untouched, they sell at an estate sale for pennies and someone does something really awful with them; I look down from heaven (I hope) and say, "Well I had a better idea than that!"
