O.K so maybe this is a little odd but I'm having fun folding fat quarters....
I came across this blog kootoyou. She's made a video about folding fat quarters. I love what she says about creating a 'little pocket to put a gift in...' so, next time you join in a swap which involves a fat quarter.... there's a different idea of something to do. Somewhere to hide a button or two or some pretty braid perhaps.
Are you suprised it appeals to me? I love seeing fabric nicely folded and stacked. It looks dashed attractive (You have to say that in your best 'Jeeves and Wooster' voice.). You can see the colours, some of the pattern. They just beg to be used. Unlike fabric that's become all tatty, scrunched up and looks as if it's destined for the rag bag! That's just so sad!
Kootoyou's post lead me on further down the rabbit hole that is the internet, to here, another blog Badskirt, with more 'Fat Quarter' folding fun.
What else could I do join in and have a little fun of my own.....
I've one or two more to do......
....eeek! I still need to get those Account done!
ooo... that looks like an excellent reason to get ALL my stash out and sit in the middle of my (clean) sitting room floor with it round me, and play away - and if my husband asks what I am doing I can tell him I am 'organ-di-zing' my fabrics and folding them neatly.... he he he

How pleasing they look folded like that! I can see how that might prove a welcome distraction from those accounts!

Scarily enough, that appeals to me too. Might have to go and indulge while the children are in the bath ...
