After pulling aside some fabric that she mentioned liking to gift to her, I listed some in my ETSY shop. After all, de-stashing some fabric was one of my goals this year, and so far, it has gone quite well, with anywhere from 2-5 fabrics finding new homes each month. Whatever did we do before the Internet??
Quilty Orphan Adoption Event this coming weekend. Last March I was able to send out 5 other projects to new homes, and while this doesn't clear a ton of space in my sewing room, it does make me feel better about that ridiculously long list of UFOs I catalogued in January.
I selected, cut and washed the backing for the quilt I pieced last weekend. The plan is to pin baste it tomorrow and attempt to machine quilt it this week. Those of you who know me know that I am a hand quilter, but I don't want this quilt to be added to my To Be Quilted pile. Besides, I need to learn how to machine quilt, and the only way to learn is to do it, right?
I cut into a small mountain of scraps, clearing my cutting mat of the clutter that had been encroaching upon it from all sides, yielding 61 precut scraps for the scrap bins.
Doesn't look like much, but there are 61 squares in those piles, everything from 1.5" to 5" |
Add to that the floors I swept and mopped, the loads of laundry I did, the dishes I washed, the meals I prepared, and I'm surprised I'm still standing. Time to go finish my book and drift off to sleep.
