Our speaker at guild last night commented that she had a stash---fabric to be used--- not a collection---fabric to be passed on--- and that struck me as a good one to remember. Especially since I had get DH or Sir Old Man to drag in more shelves for the stash closet. I promptly filled them up with mini bolts that had been stacked on the floor and those pesky boxes of strips. The stacks are off the floor for now, but it does make tight quarters in the closet. I need to put the needle down and get to sewing!
As I started quilting on String Me Along---photo before quilting, I kept thinking that it would be a good design for a table runner. Very adaptable for size and length by just adding a block and some pieced strips. And maybe featuring just thread painted motifs from a fabric I "re-discovered" in the stack on the floor. Guess I've just added a future project to the list!
I've got to clean house today as Ryan, step-son, is coming to visit a few days and we are heading to Charlotte on Friday; deliver snacks to church for camp; catch up on laundry; and maybe get a few minutes to quilt, I hope.
Happy stitching.....do you have a stash or collection? Just asking.

Mine had better be a stash because I'm running out of space too!
A stash that I am trying to use most of it up and buy very very little during 2011. Making room for new fabrics!
