I had a houseful of kids and grandkids from the east and west coasts last week, which was wonderful, but because we needed the guest room the overflow went back into the sewing room. I had just finished a project that has haunted me for four years......yippee........so had a double mess to clean up. This week is quiet with my DH and son on RAGBRAI across Iowa, so I have been restoring order bit by bit, while I am working on putting together the Harry Potter quiltalong by Lorna on SewFreshQuilts. I, too, am having left knee replacement in a week so want to get this quilt at least to the sandwiching point as it is for Christmas. The laundry is finally done, I'm eating the leftovers and the dogs are not wanting for anything, so I'm heading out to lunch with a friend and then hitting the sewing room again. I am normally pretty organized with designated spots for everything, projects in individual bins or boxes etc. but I just have too much stuff in a rather small sewing room.
