Dear joysjane, I could wish and wish I had only 550 yards of fabric. In that mammoth room 20 x 12 or 14 I have a hugh island of filled metal shelves, then three of the walls full of more metal shelves and bins, and don't forget the closet and under the bed. There is so much material that I am planning to take some with me. You know, when I die. That could be sooner than the seven years allotted for the Veterans of WWII of which I am one, to live....Have a new doctor and he doesn't seem to READ, thinks I have vertigo and arthritis....hasn't turn the page to where the heart diease or the five attacks I've had to say nothing of the severe Asthma. My dear mother died of an asthma induced heart attack. That looms. I was up to his office last Monday....not eligible. At least 5 people have offered me their flu shot, but I don't think they are transferrable. I'm going to make a sign to wear to my Cardiac Rehab classes three times a week....don't come near me with a cold. Yikes! Don't athsmatics qualify for free flu shots? They do here, as do diabetics and anyone over a certain age (not sure what the age is, but my mum is 75 and she gets them), and a bunch of other folk. DH has just had his. Anyone can ask for one here, but you have to pay the prescription charge if you don't fall into an exempt group. Are we talking about quilting. Right! How many yards? This is a Blue Saturday. Sounds good!

I've given up keeping track of either. And lets not even think about
fabric dye and yarn and ribbon and.... Every once in a while I wonder where all my money went, then I go down to my sewing room. Oh yeah. I get so depressed I have to go buy more fabric to cheer myself up. Julia Altshuler wrote: I keep track of how much money I spend on fabric, not how much I have on hand. I'm sure it is a lot. If I did get it into my head to determine exactly how much, I'd rig up a system so I could weigh it and make a guess based on the weight of a yard of fabric. I'd go nuts measuring it by the yard since I often rip off a 5" strip from fabrics as soon as I get them home and use those for charms and charm exchanges. --Lia |

Thank you Butterfly! That is the happiest sounding reply I've read so far. There was a lot of coughing at the place I take cardiac rehab three times a week. I'd better start staying home. Goodness know I might be drive to use what energy I do have to make a warm wrap-around for the cold months ahead.

I lucked out.finished PT a week ago--and If I am really lucky I won't have
to go back again for a LONG time--yes, they were GOOD and good ppl to be with, but after going since Apr--it got to be a bit tiring. Keep up with yours as long as needed. They never did anything like that for my mom after she had her major heart surgery (Unless she refused it and didn't tell us--you never know with her--she's 82 and runs circles around me most of the time) She did get some GOOD news this week--they now say she can have a bit of hamburger and liver (she LIKES that ; ) but not 2 days in a row..she was pleased.

How much fabric do I have? I don't really know for sure. More than last month, less than next month! Yep, that's my story! PAT in VA/USA joysjane wrote: How much fabric do you have??? joysjane |

I have occasionally felt urges like the one described below, but I've
always managed to repress hem, I prefer to spend my limited quilting time actually quiling!!! ) joysjane wrote: Okay, I asked about washing fabric a few weeks ago. I started washing and then realized that I would have to do it all, because I couldn't make a quilt with some washed and some unwashed fabric. So, I started to wash it all and wash and iron and wash and iron and ... well you know ... I finally finished and then decided I wanted to know just how much fabric I have. So, I counted FQ and yardage and marked the larger pieces of what I have and then added it all up. I have 802 FQ (geesh!) and a grand total of 550 yards of fabric. OMG!!! That doesn't include any charms, scraps or WIP. I also have some fabric that I ordered still coming yet. Now, I'll have to sort it all out and then get back to sewing.

the problem is that the companies misscalculated and there are not
enough doses. there was talk of an investigaion since some people think the government should definitely be involved in the calculations so that this does no happen again. people here in seattle were organizing trips to canada - the price of the ticket included the flu shot. I have not been able to get one for sofi, and the poor baby has had a fever for two days now and is feeling quite cranky... not sure it is the flu though... she was fine when we visited the doctor earlier of course... she should have some protection since I got it last year, she still has some immunit inherited from me and the say it is a related strain....

Enough to almost fill --- oooooh, make that "insulate" a closet. I tried a
couple years ago to sort by color, so it's mostly organized, but then I buy some more and find space is getting tight. I'll also likely die before I use it all up, but what the heck. It's a better addiction than some things I can think of G ME-Judy "joysjane" wrote in message ... How much fabric do you have??? |

My DMIL who is 92 is on a "wait" list. Her dr has no vaccine and the
County will let her know if they get some for her. I cannot get a flu shot even with my medical problems. Will have to tough it out this year. As for fabric, weeeeeeellllll, I've got enough to do lots of things, but never the "just right" one for most projects. Surely you can relate. To give you an idea, if all my fabric was in those 10-ream paper boxes, there would be about 25-30+ of them. Will be going thru the stash in next few months and weeding out fabrics. Next Spring I will be setting up our Airstream trailer as my studio while DH remodels house ) Have a peace-filled/piece-filled day, Ginger in CA "Butterfly" wrote in message . ..
