Eye Candy Silks

For a long time I have been keeping my smaller pieces of silk in a big basket in what some quilters poetically call 'archaeological order' - not only was the basket always in the way and I had to move it all the time,  when I did need these fabrics I could never find what I wanted............

So last night I sorted the silks on the table (I always listen to audiobooks when doing tasks like this - two birds and all that......) Yummy eye candy!  [I had to stand on a rather tall stool to take this picture,  puhh, glad I didn't  slip or anything]

I keep all my fat quarters in some cheap mdf Ikea CD racks - luckily I managed to buy enough before they were discontinued. They work great, and yes if the fabrics fade, I want to know, rather before, than after I have used it in a quilt that after! :O)

So now my collection of Colour Catchers and my used, dried tea-bags (I blame Judy Coates Perez for the tea-bags......) don't have a home any more - will have to look into that :O)
