They are unhappy (and usually not productive individuals) who vent their frustrations on others. Some of us choose to deal with the trials and tribulations of life by sewing. We allow our energy to help others, not tear them down. <br /><br />Remember that how we organize and how/what we sew are our personal hobbies. Something we can control and enjoy in our own way. I like crazy quilt styles. They seem to fulfill a need to make something beautiful from the leftovers of other projects. It is so much "neater" to cut a length of fabric off a bolt than to rummage through bins of scarps, but not as much fun IMO. Just my 2 cents.pasovaszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069830335926866200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023907872391597225.post-85632140055300118432017-01-27T15:22:03.015-06:002017-01-27T15:22:03.015-06:00I find it amazingingly rude that people use the ke...I find it amazingingly rude that people use the keypad to be so condeming to otheres. Facebook is that way also. These cowardly individuals hide behind a screen. Your method of storage is your personal method. I use mine different then the "Famous Quilter's" do. I don't have the space or the money to make it picture perfect. I would ignore the comments. <br />I hope you can get it all sewn up in your life time. My son tells me he is going to take it to the landfill. Enjoy your quilting.

But I have an entire basement where stuff has been shifted all over the place due to a couple of floods and then just plain busy-ness so that we have not gotten the basement organized again.<br /><br />However, we have started thinking about retirement (even though it is still a ways off) and possibly moving. . . so the basement has to be dealt with this year. I do not want to have to pay to get all the stuff we have moved to another location only to still be disorganized.<br /><br />I have found myself working on a couple of projects at a time. . . .using one project as a "thread catcher" between working on the main project. Of course that means that I am doing a lot of cutting as prep work, but seeing two or three projects growing at the same time is fun.<br />Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11615766893549743938noreply@blogger.com
