Where do you store your finished quilts that aren't gifts??? I find my stacks are growing lately, and having them sit on the shelf in my sewing room isn't the greatest "display" of them and it makes me sad because they don't get "used" either.
In the past, I have pretty much given away most of my quilts. (and even sold a few, wish I could take that back but we were in school and every bit helped :) Then I got this teaching gig in January and realized that I no longer had the quilt (one of those school sold ones) that I would be teaching. So I had to make up new ones. Not horrible, but it has made me realize that it is kind of nice to have a sample on hand. (Although, I still have given away some of my pattern quilts, they just were given with the disclaimer that if I ever teach a class on them that I get to "borrow" the quilt for the weekend :) P.S. These are my samples for my class in January, I am so excited!!
And in general, I find that it is just getting harder to part with some of my quilts. Like for instance, the ones that have been published. They just seem special and hard to give away. Probably crazy sentimental to get attached to a quilt, but there you have it. And let's be honest, it's not like I don't need a lot of excuse to make a new quilt when ever there is a special occasion on the horizon. I always have another idea in my head to try :) And all of this leads to big stacks. So what do I do with the stacks???
