This post is all about metadata.
One of the things I do when I buy new fabric and supplies is take a photo of what I bought. Then I tag the photo with the name of the shop. These photos generally stay on my phone as I don’t normally post what I bought. Occasionally I do.
After not being able to find that white fabric I was using for Chain Link, I went back to my Fabric & Supplies photo album and looked it up. I found the photo and that led to where I bought it. I always tag my fabric & supplies photos with the name of the shop where I bought it. That allowed me to go to their website and found the name of the fabric. I should have known! Ruby Star Society. It’s Speckled in Confetti by Rashida Coleman-Hale.
I may need to start taking photos of the selvedges of my new fabrics like Friend Julie does on occasion.
This means that I’ll have enough fabric to work on, and, with luck, finish Chain Link. Now I won’t be so anxious about working with the pieces I have for fear of running out. I know the last bit of the fabric I bought will turn up sometime.
