How many of you have lived through "re-structuring" at your job(s)? It's a rough thing to go through I know. These buzz words of the current century reflect a way of life that unfortunately, all too often, we've grown accustomed to. Re-structuring can be a good thing though when it comes to your stash . . . (trust me, I'm a professional).
By pulling out favorite colors, not so favorite colors, fall colors, spring colors, and children's colors . . . shuffling, stacking, sorting, sifting, and (even donating) . . . we gain a deeper appreciation for what we have. Ideas are generated, light bulbs go off, and you may even find something long forgotten.
It's not traumatic, it's enlightening (not to mention messy fun). So go ahead, do the fabric shuffle. And let me know if you've seen my purple elephant playing a trombone print . . . I know I put it somewhere.
Until then, keep stitchin' . . . .

Playing with fabric, is a great way to spend hours.
Very, very true! It's always fun to find those old pieces that you thought were long gone.
I went through many, many restructurings at work and even though some turned out really well for me I'd rather restructure my stash anytime!
I spent an hour going through my scraps looking for pieces that were at least 10" long. It was fun to see old friends from projects past.
