In fact I had a tomato sandwich for lunch today with a tomato from a friends garden *VBS* Just can't beat home grown.<BR/>I love that you posted about fabric. I'd say you definitely have been bitten hard by the fabic love bug! Personally I think you can never have toooo much fabric. It doesn't spend like money, but it sure makes you happy. Watch out for that storm coming across. It was a nasty one here last night.

There is no way I could get any thing made without it.

Sometimes I "just begin" and the quilt and inspiration "just grow." Like you, I can't identify with buying a pattern and fabric as I did with garment sewing. And even with garment sewing, I sometimes re-made the pattern until it didn't resemble the way it started out. My younger brothers say I'm pretty independent. --Maybe that's it, Katie! Maybe we are independent thinkers in our quiltmaking, hmmm? LOL<BR/>Enjoy those tomatoes...old man winter is just around the bend.Lindahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08450792092084530798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21492635.post-8777718649066624312008-08-25T13:30:00.000-04:002008-08-25T13:30:00.000-04:00I'm a stash keeper, too.

Now I'm working almost exclusively from my scraps . . . oh, what a happy girl I am *s*<BR/>Yippee for the tomatoes. I'm hoping for some ripe ones soon. I had a couple early on, but then picked every green tomato off the vines to discourage the squirrels who were taking far too many liberties.<BR/>Now the blossoms have turned into green tomatoes once again and Harper is free to patrol the yard bringing those squirrels into check.Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872055894285312153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21492635.post-48774520691299337432008-08-25T11:48:00.000-04:002008-08-25T11:48:00.000-04:00I buy fabric when I travel too, esp to US because ...I buy fabric when I travel too, esp to US because it's much cheaper there. I also build quilts as I go usually, although the one I am working on non is an exception. I want a much bigger stash but first I have to figure out some sort of better storage so I can see what I have.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083924435653058457noreply@blogger.com
