Oh, I had fun sewing this afternoon. Our small group is assembling blocks from 4 patches and half square triangles. I had done dozens over the last year or two from scraps so these charity quilts will be very cheery.
One of the benefits of having cleared SOME of the clutter away is that I had the opportunity to discover some items. In putting buttons together in the same spot, I finally found a box of vintage buttons from my mother who has been gone now for fifty years. My next reward after cleaning/ clearing the second rolling cart of drawers is to make a reinforced strip to hang up a display of some of these buttons. Some of the buttons from her dress coat and suits are rather unusual. Yes! I might have hit on the motivational carrot.......
Thanks for your comments :-)
