Hildegard Von Dumpsteur

To answer some questions about Hildegard Christine the organizer.  She does a schedule where she meets with me, leaving about two weeks between visits.  My homework has consisted of things like fat quarters finding and organising; sorting supplies into predetermined piles; deciding use of space and time in work processes; and deciding just how many irons and seam rippers one woman actually needs.

She has no idea I have 5 sewing machines!  Hee hee!  I feel subversive!  Actually, I did think 5 was a bit excessive since I only really use 3 of them.  So I gave one to a very deserving friend’s granddaughter.  It is an old Janome I was given after the flood.  Pass along......pay it forward.  The last one may or may not work. It is a machine from family and I just need to test it out.

I did admit to myself that I probably won’t use a lot of the fabric my mother had that got incorporated into my stuff after she died.  So I sent about half of them, all those Walmart florals, to the Wasted Women Group who create QOV quilts and charity quilts for the area.  Good causes.  I also collected all the orphan blocks from 30 years of making them and donated them as well.  You have no idea how big a space became available for current stuff.

And once I get the projects finished in those millions of project boxes taken care of, I will be able to hold dancing balls in there!
