...and the next year you're out, to paraphase Project Runway.
Last week I spent a lot of time weeding out fabric that I have been collecting since I started quilting fifteen years ago . It resulted in a couple of giveaways because I kept finding things I had forgotten about (or in one case purchased two of, because my sewing room was that unorganized). And don't think Mark wasn't shocked when he saw all those piles that were being given away donated to our church quilting group.
Just like fashion, the quilting industry has changed tremendously, and I've changed right along with it. Look at all these dark colors that I had purchased in the past:
Lots of Civil War reproductions, darker moodier colors.
They are all gone, given to someone who happily received them, and have been replaced by this
and this
I'm feeling cheerier already, and ready to get busy on a new project.
