jaba- I'd love a play date in YOUR sewing room! Awesome organization! Thanks for sharing the photos.
Have fun with the paper piecing. Once you get the rhythm of it, you'll love it! So many possibilities with PP.

I'm always ready for a visit from a quilting sisterWorked on paper piecing all day, the seam ripper and I got very friendly.....This quilt will take me forever to finish....UGH!!

Great stash organization, Jaba! It looks like you work mostly with solids and tonals?
Enjoy learning PP.... it has a little bit of a learning curve, but once you 'get it', it's fun and even easy. I learned PP doing the Farmer's Wife quilt blocks-- the 1930's one. After 99 blocks I feel like I will never forget how to PP.

Jane, lol. I usually mail much closer to birthdays but I'm about to be swamped with a swap and family "stuff" for a few weeks. I was honestly afraid I'd forget. :-( The other June birthday ladies will also be receiving theirs early. They'll go out tomorrow.

Jaba, your stash is beautiful to look at and I'm simply talking about all the colors on display. So pretty.
Pp'ing is pretty straightforward. You'll have it down in no time. I like the precision of it.

Got the birthday names and will get them packaged in the next day or two. I've been watching video's on paper piecing and I'm going to try. Bought a kit from Connecting Threads to spur me on. There are so many beautiful patterns to do, I just have to take the drive, say prayers for me ladies, this is just not my greatest calling Here's pics of my fabric storage Barbara. 1st pic is mostly prints and top shelf holds batiks. The other is solids or tone on tones and bolts. Top shelf is fabric for a new quilt, I kind of put them together as a kit....The plastic boxes are some of the candies by color. Needs to be tidied up a bit[ATTACH=CONFIG]575121[/ATTACH]

Jaba that sewing room looks like a lot of work to put together. I have been thinking of arranging color also. Maybe next winter? LOL I can dream anyway!
Got the birthday names and will get that done soon.
