I've always wanted a real dachshund :) When I was in high school the people I babysat for had one and we were best buddies. Hopefully I will get one someday. Still love them!
PS. WOW- can you come over and work your magic in my sewing room?? :D

Got my scraps tidied up in their shoeboxes, the bookcase they're on cleared off, the cutting table reasonably
clear (good enough), and the junk underneath it cleared out or put into the closet if I'm keeping it.
Having junk behind closed doors works so much better on my sanity! So yes, I cheated somewhat and didn't deal with every piddly thing.

My most cherished items in this room have nothing to do with sewing, actually.
One is that painting by my dad, and the other is called "My Father's Legacy" which has his writings on various topics from his childhood, dating my mom, his career, his ministry, his ongoing love with my mom for decades, his love for us kids, his hobbies, his words of wisdom.

If nothing else, cleaning this room up was good for my soul. I had dreaded it, but the reward of seeing it better organized and dusted and vacuumed all on the same day is indescribable. Might not happen till the next solar eclipse, but it's done.

I did not know there were so many dog fabrics available! But that may be because I only "saw" cat prints!

Congratulations on a job well done!

Haha! Same here. My husband says I have radar for all things cats! But I do love doggies too :)

OMG, I think there are thousands of dog fabrics! Some are breed specific, some are just lots of different breeds, some a mutts. There are tons of them! I even found one piece I bought years ago that has a little black and tan dachshund with the big dachshund feet just like my Darby who I adopted in 2014.

Oops. Patrice, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hijack this thread. I clicked on the wrong one in this section. Let me see if I can move my posts over. I'm so embarrassed.

a lot of organizing! and a lot of dog fabrics. I guess a dog quilt is in order. a friend did a doxen quilt, with all the dogs appliqued on, so cute.

That reminds me. I bought some vintage border collie fabric this summer to make a gift. I'll have to find that. Hmmm, I guess I'll have to do a little organizing as well.
