Setting an Organizing Goal for this Coming Week
 

Hi Happy Quilters,
Anyone up for this? It can be small and do-able or ambitious and far reaching! Anything goes.
Speaking of anything going, that will be my goal. I will take a bunch of perfectly good but cast off fabric to my sewing group on Tuesday and watch as it magically disappears! Then I will have some more space to continue sorting into three categories: keep here in Maine through the winter, fabric to take back to Florida and more fabric to give away. I don't anticipate that much more being given away but I am trying to be more practical.
So, add your plans to this thread if you wish to join me. We can report about our progress any time we wish to.
Happy Organizing,

I need to organize my unfinished projects so I will know what I can work on next.........Yes that is what I will do as soon as I finish my 2nd cup of coffee.....lol I need this thread!!

Last week I deconstructed jeans, then started cutting strips from the legs...got a donation quilt made with some of the strips.

I love this idea of a weekly organizing goal. And it's perfectly timed because I should be getting a couple more Art Bin storage bins delivered tomorrow. My plan (yes, I will make it a GOAL, thanks to you) for the week is to organize all the birthday candies (2.5" squares) by color.

Approx 1500 of them.

I had started, but was using an old medicine cabinet lying on its back. Looked clever and plenty big, but truth is, the door doesn't lift up easily and it's heaVEE, so impractical.

Does anyone know about how many candies will fit into one 14" Art Bin (the kind designed for 12" scrapbook paper)? I think it's 3" deep.

I just got several of those art bins and plan on sorting my scraps into them by color as my scrap tote that I keep under my cutting table is way over flowing. I have been sorting and purging for the last couple weeks I don't like doing it but my room is becoming more organized and I like being in my room more now so worth it.

No, I don't, but I bet you will know soon:D

I have two organizing goals for this week. 1. come up with a better way of storing the bolt of black felt and the bolt of fusible fleece that are laying across the guest bed--I use these a lot, so they can't go into deep storage, but it would be nice if they could go somewhere else. 2. Find homes for all the little things that seem to have decided to take up residence on the various horizontal surfaces in my sewing area. I'm not sure where most of them came from, which is why I need to find homes for them.

I am in the process of moving my quilting room from our upstairs bonus room to our down stairs guest bedroom which never gets used. I took the queen bed in that room and put it my grandsons room (yes he has his own room at our house) and now the room is all mine. As we are moving things down I am purging before it comes down. It is amazing how much stuff I am finding that I have no use for. All my extras will be shared with my quilting buddies. I will post some pics once we are all done with it.

Oksewglad--LOL! I bet I will, too! Just so happens the Art Bins came TODAY, so ....let the sorting--and counting-- begin! I don't really ENJOY counting, but my inquiring mind wants to know the answer to my question!:o Not sure WHY I want to know, but I do. Kooky, right?

I'm glad you started this, as it seems if there is a flat surface ANYWHERE, it becomes a place to put ANYTHING! I have so many machines everywhere that It looks like a machine shop. So I'm going to unload some stuff into a basket or something and see the table tops again.ha Then go through all the stuff I unloaded and throw or put away where it belongs. Have fun! And let's get things more in order. Barny
