Goodness I have always thought I am not organized but I know I tried really hard to clean up my little sewing area over the last year or so. Now that all my swaps have been mailed I am taking inventory of what I have. I am realizing I am close and nearly done with sorting and organizing.
Let see first what I need to finish the tops I swapped blocks for:I need 7 more Scrappy Jacob Ladders and 1 more Majestic Mountains
I pulled a drawer out labels blocks for projects and found:
some Sun Bonnet Sue, I need 4 more
some embroidered penguins blocks small like 6.5 inches
7 large hourglass blocks (what in Earth are these blocks for)
a large block made with 30's material no idea what the block is called but it has a border around it so maybe I was just going to build on to it one different kind of border after another?
Then I pulled a art bin one has a handle and you can carry with you also holding blocks for projects:Bright Posey Chain, I need 9 more
A Block of the month I had started at the beginning of the year. I have the 4 blocks that make up the center medallion and that is it;
maybe I should call it a block a year quilt.Some snowballs in flannel I made some to swap and I see the 12 I received but nothing I made. Guess I didn't make any for myself.
Another plastic container up on a shelf over flowing with black and brights, pattern included!
Now I am pulling the baskets and bags I have lining wall:a lot of patterns with some not all of the material already cut of in between the pages. Not a good way to store so I guess I will pull out the zip lock bags now and put them away.
Some bunnies for appliqueing with a few already fused to some material but most just sitting there.
A shopping bag from the last quilt show I went to with unwashed material inside (shame on me! in the wash it goes for a quick 30 min cycle)
At the bottom of the basket 9 good size HSTs, WHY?
In another basket:
Tops that need borders or rows for finishing. 15 of them. (I really should unfold and let you see the all of the tops but I will when I go back to working on them.)
One tote bag with my browns because I don't have a plastic container
One paper bag and one plastic bag with with scraps form the last 2 years.
Plastic bag with the BOM material (will be a king size quilt)
A box of kid fabric, a box with my wedding veil in it and a box with flannel material.
A shopping bag with light color material for backgrounds.
There you have it. I have two bags of scraps to sort thru and file.
Nothing has been ironed for the photos, sorry but I usually do that when I am actually working on them not before. lol
