OT: Can't get to my stash!

I'm boxed into a corner of my lounge room waiting for the carpet layer to arrive. We've been on concrete for about 18 months in the bedrooms and now we have visitors coming to stay and thought we might carpet the bedrooms (for 82 year old MIL). The carpet co. said last Tuesday so we moved nearly everything out of the 3 bedrooms into the lounge room and have been living like sardines for 10 days. And my stash is buried behind a wardrobe. Whimper. I need a stitch, man!

Still, the MIL & SIL coming mean I get to shop for new stuff and make my house quilt. Over half the blocks completed and hopefully on target. Except I can't get to my SM.Until at least tomorrow. (Rocking in corner)

Cheers, Fay

Look on the positive side: stash raiders will never find it! ;)

Concrete sounds positively salubrious compared with round here. I need a good running up to it time for carpet fitters. This living room carpet has a hole in and the only reason you cannot see how filthy it is after the builders is because it's road-tar grey/black! I dare not let small kids play on it - the town tip would be more hygienic! At least with all the brick dust and sand ground in it isn't sticky...

Oh that would just drive me nuts! My husband is in the Air Force, so we have had to move every few years. I always take some fabric and a basic sewing kit (including my sewing machine) with me every time we move.

If you can't get to your stash, the only sane thing is to go buy fabric. Clearly this is an emergency, and larger quantities than normal will be needed. ;)

hugs and happy fabric hunting, Sunny

Alrighty then...

1/2 hour wait in the big craft Department store that doesn't seem to have wide quilt backing or staff with an IQ above 10. So off the the small material shop about 10km away for the fabric I needed. 2.4 metres wool/poly batting, 2.4 metres backing fabric, some new coated curtaining for the bedroom, a fair handful of FQs, 20 cm of a green stripe fabric that I intend to use to applique a chilli for a kitchen piece, some cord for a bag, some pillows, pillow protectors and some quilting thread later the carpet is down. I thought I'd run a few pieces up on the SM, butI can't even find the iron. Sent email to DH demanding his immediate attendance to rectify this horrendous situation.

Thanks for your hugs, it's the only thing keeping me from the pills!

Sounds like a very productive S.E.X. excursion Fey.

Well, at least you'll have new carpeting by the time it's uncovered? ;-)

Gee, in a situation like that, I guess you'll have to go buy some new fabric so its in an easily accessible place. That's what I did when my stash was boxed up for several months.
