Spring cleaning?

Well, I am not sure if I am actually getting anything cleaned.  Its more like I am finding a million projects that are UFOs.  Last night I found an applique piece that I had attempted many years ago and so I spent the evening finishing it up.  I did manage to make a blank spot in my quilt room.  Everything is stored in big storage tubs and I went through several of them and culled out things I do not love. 
   I have more fabric than common sense, it seems.  Fabric hoarders buried alive!  That was the thought that came to mind yesterday as I sat sorting piles of brights from one of my bins!
I also found the wedding quilt that I started for my husband 19 years ago.  I took it to work with me and hand quilted on it when I got the chance.  I had forgotten how pretty is was and working on it felt really good.  My husband mentions the quilt once or twice a year.  I know once I do finish it he will never allow it on the bed because the dogs would destroy it, but it is nice to know he wants it.
  I went to a quilt show this last weekend and of course I bought some fabric.  It is a panel that says "What Cancer cannot do".  I'm going to make a quilt for my Grandson.  He has Leukemia.  He just turned 15.
  Well, its early morning and I just got off work.  I worked a double and I should be exhausted but, I'm not.  I think I'll grab another cup of tea and head off to my fabric hoarders den and see what kind of trouble I can get into today!
