my quilt cupboard...


is full.

I asked my husband what I should do now. He simply said, "Rejoice."
That was the best answer. Ever.

  5. What a great answer! And apparently a great husband! Your full quilt cupboard looks wonderful! :0)

    ReplyDelete
  6. I'm jealous of your cupboard, and husband ;).

    ReplyDelete
  7. LOL! What a great answer :)
    Your quilt cupboard is such a treasure!

    ReplyDelete
  8. If you're looking for another cupboard to fill... mine's always available ;)

    ReplyDelete
  9. He's a keeper. Get another cupboard for him.

    ReplyDelete

  13. Very impressive Amanda! Congratulations!

    ReplyDelete
  14. WOW - I bet each quilt has a story too. Love it!!!! Hope to one day be in this situation.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Love that answer! and seeing them all piled high :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. LOL - that reminds me of the Method bottles... Their stainless steel and granite cleaners have "...Buff with a soft cloth. Stand back. Admire." I love it.

    I suggest the following methods of rejoicing:
    1) Hot bath (or cool, depending on your weather)
    2) Bake something
    3) Read a book you've been meaning too but couldn't put down your rotary cutter
    4) Have a date night with the man who suggested the plan!

    ReplyDelete
  17. lol, that made me laugh

    ReplyDelete
  18. I hope my quilt cupboard will be that full someday! :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. What a wonderful quilt cupboard (and answer!). I could only dream (and I do!)

    ReplyDelete
  20. Awesome answer! Is he rejoicing that your stash is complete?? or that it is all in one place???

    ReplyDelete
  21. What a fantastic husband you have :) And I hope to one day have a full quilt cupboard too!

    ReplyDelete
  22. So jealous, its beautiful!

    ReplyDelete

    What a great husband! And such a nice quilt cupboard!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Wow. Something I've never thought of but now I'm sure I need!!

    ReplyDelete
  26. That is a beautiful display of quilts. You should be very proud of yourself. What wonderful treasures to pass down to your children. I have 2 built in bookcases in my family room that go from floor to ceiling. It's my goal to fill the top half of each one with quilts. Lofty ambition, but I'll have so much fun doing it!

    Now the the real question is, how many quilts are around your house and not in the cupboard? I hope I can have a quilt cupboard someday!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I just cleaned out the linen cupboard yesterday and it looked a little bit like that (but less quilts!) All I could think of was...what do I do with the next one I make??!!

    When my grandmothers quilts ran over she would always take some to the NICU at the hospital to cover the incubators:) She has since passed on but this reminded me of her:)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  102. Is our dad rubbing off on your husband? It almost sounds like a comment from dad. Maybe I need to get a small quilt cupboard. I put some of my quilts on my bed so I could show Grandma and Aunt Audrey when they came on Tueday...did sort of a bed turning.

  121. I love your quilt cupboard, bu tI think you should get one with some glass in the front, or without doors so they can be on display even when they are put away. I can't believe you've made that many quilts from start to finish!
