For the last week, I've been cutting my large collection of baby flannel into 6 inch squares that can be sewn into rag quilts when I want a little mindless sewing and am between projects. Some of those flannel pieces were only 1 yard, so I have several scrappy rag quilt kits. That freed up a lot of room because I didn't save any of the scraps. I inherited half of it and paid about $1/yard at 2 auctions for the rest, so, no guilt in letting that go. With that drawer empty, I freed up a lot of bags and bins that have been lying on my sewing room floor for several months. Gifting 5 quilts at Christmas freed up more room. This is my first day of retirement, so there will be lots of sewing happening!
