Organize Me

My neighbor across the street has a sister who is an organizational specialist. Christine is helping my to clean up the sewing room so I can be more creative in there.  Heck, so I can work in there, period.

Monday will be her second visit. I have been working on the homework she gave me from the first visit.  The fact that she is a slave driver and has a total lack of empathy for those tiny scraps I need to hold on to, I have actually cleared a bunch of stuff up and out.

I realize I need to finish some of those “ projects”.

Lot of projects.  lots and lots of projects.

Did I mention I have a few projects???


So I finished the Flannel Shirts from Rodney.  Well I put together the top and it has a back of flannel from the stash.    I need to get it on the quilt frame and do a neat little meander. I am debating whether to put a batting in it or just quilt it with flannel to flannel.  I did use a fusible interfacing on the back of the flannel squares to stabilize them.  I will decide and get it quilted.

I have enough left over to make another quilt for Diana.  I am thinking more improv with larger pieces and random placement.






I am playing around with the #improvtrianglesewalong on IG with Nicholas Ball.  This is the block from his book Inspiring Improv.  In this photo I am playing with what colors now to grade into.  I am liking this one.


See, this cleaning and organizing this IS making me more creative.  Maybe I didn't need those little scraps....

I used up some of the random cat fabric, rather than throwing it away like Miss Hardass might suggest.  I think I know who is going to get some cat pillowcases.

One thing I did teach Christine was that you can use those boards to wrap fabric and store it neatly.  Not that I store anything neatly......

More progress photos later!
