Hideaway

I've promised to do a split nine patch demo for the Oast Showcase the first weekend in June as I knew I already had handouts. http://oastquilters.co.uk/showcase/ I wasn't sure about samples as all the quilts I and others made in the workshops were given away to charity (check out the charity quilts album at http://community.webshots.com/user/quayquilter)- for prison babies - but I looked in the spare linen basket and when I got everything out I found lots of items I'd forgotton about - old Laura Ashley curtains in cotton soft with time and washing, woolly fabrics, sets of fat quarters sold as Turning Twenty kits though I have another purpose in mind and spare kitted up split 9-Patch quilts. It was like Doctor Who's Tardis. I took photos and when I review this year's blog I hope I'll be able to say I've dealt with some of the contents.
I have a set of drawers and in each one is a card with a list of the contents which makes all sorts of lesser used gadgets and thingies easier to locate and put away. I think I'll print a contacts page of my linen basket contents photos and place it on top as an aide memoire.
