Well, I just finished block 7,yay! An easy block compared to many, but it seems like it took me forever! It is amazing how used one gets to their surroundings, as I mentioned before, I am in Boston for work and will be here for a while so I brought one of those three-drawer plastic units filled with my AOTH fabric and tools, as well as fabrics for the two BOMs I am working on, a kit I put together for a small quilt for when I need a sense of accomplishment and one sandwiched and half quilted small lap quilt to finish( well I am unpicking stitches so it is taking forever!). Well I have been trying to set up a comfortable nook for me in here, but it's been a challenge! My sewing room at home is small but organized if I say so myself, so everything is right where I need it and things make their way to my hands effortlessly as I work on projects, but not here! Where is the glue? Where did I put the small scissors? I am holding the mini iron at an odd angel and on and on, lol, I know it'll get better, but I need to figure out a temporary organizing solution that will not add more stuff for me to take back home...as is, I had to go check out a couple of the quilt shops around here( there are so many) and bought some souvenirs :mrgreen:
Will post a picture of block 7 soon, as soon as I find the dang camera that is :thumbup:

:P :P :P

I bought a second 3 drawer cart for AOTH, and it is one of the best things I have done for myself!
I like to do some of the work in the living room and it really keeps things tidy and organized.
Now if I can just learn to stay on track, stop getting interrupted and learn to say no a little more. :roll:

Here is my collection of 3-drawer chests. This is only a small part of my stash, but it's what I use more of than any other fabric. The chest on the left is all batiks! The rest of my stash is in my sewing room which I abandoned almost a year ago! It's really a mess right now as I drop stuff on one of the tables & close the door. Can't do that anymore as it will just slide off onto the floor. I like to have my floors clear. I really must take a weekend & get that room straightened up, but for now, I'll just keep the door closed!

Well, tomorrow beginning week #15 & we are up to Block # 27. I think several ladies have added special touches to their Block 27. Feel free to alter the blocks any way you wish & have fun doing it!
Here is my block 27. The color is way off, but I was taking pics at night & out interior lighting is screwy. Tried adjusting it with Picture MAnager, but didn't come close. Will have to imagine it without such an orange-ish overtone.
