Attention Stashraiders!

Mar 04, 2010 4 Replies

It is almost time for me to manhandle my laundry basket of projects into the car and head off to the retreat (with a stop for breakfast first, of course.)



I have 3 QIs guarding the stash. The General assures me he is on the case, unless he needs to go chase a squirrel or take a nap of a nice soft quilt.



Maggie Belle went off for her morning nap after reminding me is the Best. Watch cat. Ever. She watches out the window all night until something happens. Then she hides under the bed.



I asked Katie Mae if she was susceptible to bribes of tuna, string cheese, or canned cat food and she gave me the most innocent "Who me?" look you could imagine.



So obviously I have no worries.



Sadly, unless you took every single piece of fabric I own, I probably wouldn't even notice a stash raid. Yes, my stash is that big and my fabric-buying addiction is that bad.



Just last night I added a hand applique quilt to my basket. In case we go to the quilt shop in Hannibal and I find some border fabric for it. No, I haven't even begun to look in my stash for a border fabric for it.



Sigh.

perhaps they are a place to retreat to from the rigours of this damn world we live in. tho tis truely a place to advance our quilting endeavours. j.

"Polly Esther" wrote ... Thank you for a smile, Maureen. Your QIs sound so dear. Why do we call the quilting get-togethers 'retreats'? Why not 'advance'?, . . . or in case you do get by Hannibal, 'Charge!' I hope you find an ah just perfect border. Polly

Have a wonderful retreat Maureen. Get lots of UFOs completed hey. I would say go look for your border in your stash!! Pretend your stash is a shop (but you don't have to pay again to 'buy' something)!! Hugs Bronnie

Thanks for the giggle, Maureen! I'll be sure to wear cammo when I invade...and bring tuna!

Have a great time no matter what the time away is called!! amy in CNY

Howdy!

Cool! I like a challenge. ;-D

B-fly, you ready?

Bon voyage, Maureen; enjoy your retreat! Hannibal sounds like a must.

R/Sandy- have squirrels, will travel...
