Slowly, things are getting into place. I think we have about ten more boxes to unpack, and we're actually putting things away...in what may be the permanent location! {Maybe. I changed the layout of the dining room six times...and it's the smallest room!}
The top half of my shelves is looking good. If you can get fabric to reach the ceiling, it's a good day...or the ceilings are low. I prefer the scrap boxes separate on shelves like this, so I can browse easier. My fat quarters are in the boxes, too - anything more than a half yard is wrapped on comic book boards and shelved.
Bottom half is still pretty much a disaster...and I pulled a ton of the FIZ {fabric in ziploc} and put them in the striped boxes. I need to find the bins that go in the shelving unit and hide some FIZ in there. Or, you know, work on them.
Meanwhile, at the sewing machine...
Working through the snowball-ish rectangles for Flirt Marks the Spot...which made it to a quasi-design wall. {I've got a plan sketched out for a PVC pipe frame...but the hacksaw hasn't been unpacked yet. Thought about pinning it to the shelving unit until then...but I can't find thumbtacks.}
I started putting together a weighted blanket. My sheet set is terribly wonky, so there's been a lot of trimming, but other than that it's coming together very nicely.
And my faithful Rainbow Scrap Challenge leader/enders. My reds are some of my favorite fabrics, so this little stack makes me happy.
Those are fun little leader & ender blocks. I've made tiny nine patches for years but want to make a change. I'm thinking these will be just the thing.
ReplyDeleteLove the red and aqua in your Flirt Marks the Spot quilt.
Your sewing room is looking good! I'm procrastinating but I promised WM I'd make a start on moving stuff back in today and he gets home in three hours so I'd better get moving!
ReplyDeleteI would love so much to go to the Buggy Barn Quilt Show! And you are really getting a LOT organized!!! You work fast, lady. :D
ReplyDeleteGlad things are coming together and you are settling in!
ReplyDeleteSewing room organization is such an on-going process! :) I boarded all my fabrics and sorted the scraps and went "AHhhh, done!" Except then I bought more fabric and made more scraps. lol Yours is looking wonderful!! Keep at it, it's so creatively inspiring when it's done. :)

Enjoy the sorting. Love the rainbow leader and ended blocks
ReplyDeleteLots of progress with the unpacking. Your Flirt quilt is looking good. I remember when I finally was able to sew after moving, it felt like heaven.
ReplyDeleteI really like your leaders/enders. You have very pretty shades of red fabrics. It looks like the Buggy Barn Quilts were awesome.
ReplyDeleteYour storage area is looking awesome. Love your fun, little red blocks. Looking forward to seeing pictures of the quilt show.
