"Elder Creep"
Have you heard of "elder creep"? It's the phenomenon of inexplicable forgetting that occurs when one gets older. I used to know where everything was and could visualize exactly what I had in my stash. Now that I'm an "elder", I keep finding things that I have no recollection of starting. I found these blocks yesterday. They were pinned together with a note that said "Shortcake".
I'm pretty sure it was a pattern we sold in the shop and that the 9 patch blocks are alternated with the square in a square blocks in the quilt. There were also pieces cut to make more blocks. When did I start it? Ya got me. I'd love to stitch some up today but I have a project I have to MAKE myself finish. Thanks again to all of you who wrote to me about Charlie. It means so much! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! XO Bev

I wish I could find such cuties in my boxes and totes.
They're very cute, as is the Swoon block you posted yesterday. Love the bee skep center. I keep seeing Swoon houses blocks & think I might have to go in that direction. (Sheesh! There goes my imagination running wild again!)

And I know what you mean by Elder Creep..I was looking for some Mozerella Cheese the other day...and found it in the dish cupboard...no idea how it got there!

those look fun blocks!
Hi Dear, I have the same problem with my stash but I think it has more to do with having such a large stash. You having a store I am sure it is much larger than what I have. So we need a sewing related term like stashitis or stash creep maybe stash dementia? Hee hee But let's not make it because we are getting old! Peace be with you!
