My sewing room was such a disaster that I didn't even have room to cut out a quilt and I certainly didn't feel like sewing in there! So I spent the better part of a week emptying cupboards and throwing out. Oh what a feeling!!! After a huge bag of garbage and a big bag of "pass it on to someone else", and lots of reorganizing, I can now maneuver around, find fabrics and actually work on a project.
When I say garbage, I mean pieces smaller than 2 inches, and fabric so crinkly and stiff that I would be embarrassed to use it in a quilt, and some that even had an odor when ironed. It does feel good to purge once in awhile.
I found lots of pieces of flannel, not enough to make a whole quilt, but enough to mix together and make something usable. I found this cute tractor fabric and a blue plaid that seemed to work well together. Since I'm going to a baby shower tonight I figured it would be perfect for a small rag quilt and burp cloth. I've also finished a blue and brown baby quilt top that I'm going to tie. I also found several quilts that just need a back and they will be heading off to a quilter soon.
I'm having FUN! Hope you are too.
Happy Quilting! Lynda
