Re: Just a few thoughts as I press



I seem to have the opposite - lots of blending fabs but not many vibrant
prints. However, I love to arrange and rearrange and I don't mind a run to
the store. hehe

I washed my fairly small stash yesterday, since I thought I might have
time today to start cutting for a simple project.
So while sitting at the ironing press I pondered a few things that are
probably old hat to you Uber-quilters.Now taking a break I shall write
them down:

1. Not all FQs are created equal. A yard obviously varies from ruler to
ruler.
2. Not all cottons are created equal either.
3. It was a good thing that the green Christmas fabric bled onto some
lighter FQs before I washed it as a finished item.
4. I actually have more fabric than I ever recall buying.
5. I may be a stroker, not a quilter.
6. My stash is obviously missing some fabrics which will be essential
to my hobby and must be enhanced.Where are all the blending fabrics?
7. I have a penchant for oriental and paisley designs.
8. Pressing cloth is only tolerable when ample supplies of coffee and
chocolate are available.
9. When is the postie bringing my next squishie?
10. I am running out of time to start that prokect!

Cheers,
Fay
