Thread: What are you doing this morning???

I am determine to get my sewing room cleanned and organized this morning. My fabrics are taking over the room. I am going to get rid of some of my scraps, donating them to the local thrift store. Refolding all of my fabrics using the ruler method and putting them in Clear bins. I have done a bunch this morning...what a difference!!! I have fabrics that I have totally forgot about. They are now easy to see and it does not look like I have as much. Much less of a mess. I have been cutting flannel pieces to make a Grinch that stole Christmas quilt for my hubby...I just need to cut the cotton front side pieces and batting. I have a ton of left over batting so perfect for the rag quilt.
I still have a closet full upstairs, but one step at a time...or one bin at a time.

I finished filling up one bin, so now to my other challenge...I do two rows a day on my latch hook rug. I use 1 to 1 1/2 inch scraps. It takes a lot of fabric...totally amazed how much it does use. The rug is nice and heavy. Once done I will use rug binding or burlap on the edge. Well off to do two rows and then I can bring to quilt. ; )

I am cleaning up a gigantic mess from our booth at our first ever attempt at a craft fair.

I love ruler folding fabric! It was the best thing I could have done in my craft room - it also condenses the material somehow as opposed to the way I used to fold my fabric (in to big clunky squares)

Me? I'm trying to wake up since I woke a bit too early this morning... then after others in the house start waking up, I'll be able to make a little noise and get ready to sew. My guild has a day long Sewing Saturday every few weekends. They decided that until Xmas they would like to meet more often to get more sewing done before the holidays... so I'm going to pack up my paper piecing project and go sew I'm about 3/4 the way done with my dragon paper pieced quilt so I'm going to kick out more of the pieces I think.... I'll bring a back up plan just in case... I always bring a second project to do just in case I get frustrated with one of them....
