Looking great, Jeananne...looks like a great place to sew...

I have the day off due to weather...going to head to the sewing room!

Jeananne: looks great!
oksewglad: I am envious. I'd love to get snowed in and be "forced" to sew ;)

I didn't do all that much this past weekend for organization, but I did find the time to cut out my foam posterboard into pieces so I can fold the fabric I am expecting in the mail. Small baby steps....but it felt good knowing it was there and ready to go.

I think we BOTH need Jeananne to come to our houses...look what she did in 4 hours! My stash is huge, like yours!!! It will take alot longer to do ours...one can wish, anyway! :)

The other day I was in my sewing room putting fabric away when I found 2 packages of 5" charms. Didn't know where to put them so ended up making a spool quilt. I just need to put the borders on and piece the backing then it will go to the quilter. But my machine is having a problem so ended up taking it to the shop today. Guess I'm back to cleaning up the sewing room! My goal is to have all the fabric put away and the top of my sewing cabinet cleared off by the time my machine is done.

Last year my NYResolution was to finish up my IPO's (In Progress Objects sounds so much more positive than UFO, don't you think?). I finished a couple then people had babies and that required a new project, and then life happened and there was another delay, then it was Christmas and that was its own set of projects. However, I picked up an IPO off of the shelf yesterday and started pinning the blocks together! I have 2 weeks to finish this quilt (throw size and the blocks are finished, just need to finish the top) and I will gift it to my brother and his wife.

See if you can either finish or work on one project a month. One of my favorite quotes is that the Great Wall of China can be seen from Outer Space, but it went together one brick at a time.

Got the mini flimsy done last night and the one mini UFO completed. Going to work on the January commitments...have 4 small quilts to make, the completed mini flimsy is one.

Here's the UFO challenge here on the QB...it's fun to see what gets finished and often how long they have been sleeping in lala quiltland....

Brought out containers of scraps to cut early next week. Tonight sewing the last 12 rows of a SCRAPPY brick quilt- just found a duplicate brick so out that will come and should finish sewing, press and decide on backing this evening! The organizing is focusing on the quilts that need binding, hence the cutting next week. Then onto the one or two finished but no backing or binding chosen quilts finished before Thanksgiving. I have about 8 days here without DH so it is cut, sew, press, sort, and repeat. I made a list - will get done, want to get done and "if me and Mr. Ripper don't spend much time together- it may get done". Little cooking, no tv, lots of radio and right now just quiet!

What a wonderful rack/shelf for your charm square packets! Did you make it?

Love the idea! I'd love to put soup in the pot & sewing all day!

Oh dear, I didn't organized anything. Instead I went to SR Harris and bought 20 yards of fabric. I better go make some quilts!
