Decorating w/ quilty stuff

Yep, Sandy, I decorate with quilting stuff....a ruler here, a basket of fq's there, a roll of batting in the corner, and threads everywhere...hehehe There's no room for anything else.

Ooooh! I love the Santas! I'll be getting at least one of those, maybe 2 or

You must be my long lost sister! ROFLOL

(And what isn't decorating with stash fabric is "decorated" with dog hair. Every day I show that mutt where the vacuum cleaner is, and he just looks up with those vacant black lab eyes and wags his tail. Then he goes to sit by the treat jar. Hmpf!)

My home says "A Quilter lives here, and her fabric is in charge of the house." *grin*

Other that the usual sewing stuff that never gets computely put away, my house doesnt say "a quilter lives here." I really have too many goodies that need dusting now :) I am too new to quilting to have a lot of quilts displayed as yet but will soon! I am working on WHs and table mats as well as quilts. Maybe will make pot holders later to practise intricate patchwork and fancy quilting. Some real cute stuff on that site though.

I was told that at the MN Quilt Show a number of stores had these figurines. thye sold so manyt hey were backordered. One day I went into my LQS and women were walking out with their arms full- the classroom had cardboard boxes stacked along one whole wall. It turns out people ordered these by the trunkload. Many bought the whole nativity set.

I try to keep the upper hand over my fabric. A loosing battle; it was confined to the sewing room, but has recently broken out and is now also residing in son's bedroom. I have to do some shuffling when he comes home on break...

Well you can tell a quilter lives in my house. There are several quilts hanging in the entry hall, and one on the family room wall. I always keep several quilts folded on the arm chair in the living room, one on the couch to cover the holes (need to get in recovered). I keep my current hand quilting project beside the couch as I tend to watch Tv when I quilt. And quilt books everywhere...

My home says "Dogs and cats live here and if you know what's good for you, find the treats quick!" SueS

I'll be doing a forced organizing next week. My sewing room is getting hardwood floors so everything has to be taken out then put back in. Should be fun. I pinned a bunch of quilts this week on the old floor without a worry.

Oooooh Sandy......nice stuff! Any chance these products are sold in Canada?

My last dog was very good at saying that for himself. He was a 100 lb German Shepherd who was not above standing on his hind legs and putting a paw on someone's chest to stop them from coming in the house until the treats had been forked over. LOL

I just lie down until that unpleasant feeling passes. Chocolate will help with that. :)

I LOVE that shoe collection! What neat stuff. Thanks for the links.

So, um...do threads from various quilty projects all over the house count as decorations??? My basement is completley decorated in quilty stuff....threads all over the floor, quilts in various stages of completeion all along one wall (on the sewing table), different projects scatterd throughout the house....though I am trying to keep them close to the storage area so that DH doesn't go nuts over it all

Larisa, who has WAY too many hobbies and not enough storage space

Yeah, but dh booted me out of the dining room, which is where i've been sewing lately. He wants me banished to the basement...which is really where i should be, until the "dump" took over...lol. It's ok, really...you'll see a lot more creativity and productivity I think after I get this room cleaned up. It's a big room, 2/3 the width of the house and half the depth.....20 x 18 feet. Of course the desktop computer host is down here, and a few other things, but i get most of the room...hehe.

Don't understand why he doesn't--ours even changes the bag:
