Unlike my stash which is almost all fabrics from chain stores, and with my sewing output the last couple of years - very little chance it will get sewn. I'm contemplating a cleanout, and I think there will be a pile of "what was I thinking" fabrics going out the door.JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-9583781442845249682010-10-15T07:12:29.125-04:002010-10-15T07:12:29.125-04:00Ha.

Just got word my spouse is being sent back to TN - which means I can start shipping again to a US address (and sending him down with an empty suitcase).

Dark and conservative doesn't have to be drab (as you often demonstrate), but they certainly aren't the only markers of a good worker!Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486127981293088285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-60987638975772136692010-10-13T14:30:56.069-04:002010-10-13T14:30:56.069-04:00Carolyn, I am a fabric hoarder as well but I feel ...Carolyn, I am a fabric hoarder as well but I feel guilty about it.
