Now what to do with my other fabric for those once a month quilt-a-longs I have committed to. Too much commitment makes for too much mess in my small quilting room. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/biggrin.png
Same here. I’ve finished the 16 patches and got the fabric pulled for the qst blocks for Debbie Brown’s April quilt, but haven’t gotten beyond that because I’m working on another largish art quilt and also a Helen Godden BOM from 2018 that are both taking up my large cutting table and my improv crumb blocks are taking up space on my small cutting table because the place where they go (beside the pc420] is taken up with a pair of Dh’s pants that I promised to mend so long ago I don’t remember what needs to be mended on them.... 😱.

If I take an empty box for unwanted books and a bag for trash and manage to clean out one single shelf, I'm good with that. It took me five days to plant all the new flowers I bought last week, but they *are* finally done. :D |
Busy 2 days in NM. Finished a lap quilt except for trimming threads...https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/biggrin.png. Took out the three shoe box containers of partial jelly roll "packages". Organized all those^&%$##@!%)(! strips by color. Made new bundles and secured them by rubber bands. Discovered have lots, and I mean lots, of solid colored strips. Unfortunately not primary colors but strange colors both bold and pastels. Now they are crammed in two boxes. Now for a large glass of "special" lemonade that I buy at Costco and then on to then next project....WHEW!!!

I can now put away the 2" strips as I finished cutting the shoo fly pieces for the OMG quilt; 120 sets, a couple more than I need just in case. Also created some 1 x 2" trim pieces I can use in the 4P...need close to 500 of those. Will work on the 9P's next. I have lots single 2" squares to use in another scrap quilt in the future!

We had our grandson today, so not much organizing going on around here. Grandkid days are the best days! I had to console myself after he went home, so I bound a quilt tonight and it's in the washer, now. Finishing something always makes me feel better. :) |

It was a delightful warm weekend here so DH and I worked at cleaning the garage. We put snow shovels, snow shoes and winter stuff out in our backyard shed and got our beehive boxes ready for new bees coming at the end of the month. |
In a weak moment bought 3 panels of PPE preprinted face masks. Cut them apart. Trimmed to useable size for quilt blocks. Used jelly rolls to frame right and bottom sides and sewed black to make sashes. OMG! Perfect for preteen boy for Project Linus! Have enough "masks" to make 2 more quilts. QIAD has panels on sale so bought 3 more. Wait! This thread is organizing! Yes, organized jelly rolls to use them up!! Whew, posted in the right place.

LOL Julienm1!
Yesterday I pulled out the records needed to file taxes and also took the time to go through some old file folders in the file cabinet and throw out/shred extraneous paper. It's amazing how fast it can pile up when you just shove things into a folder and then close the drawerhttps://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/biggrin.png. Rob |
My new garden shed/barn is loaded and organized. I worked out in yard the last couple of days and it was a joy to just go to one place to get what I needed.

Lots of organizing and putting away going on around here on this thread! Woohooo! https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/thumbup.png
Think they'll take us off the list of candidates for "Hoarders" pretty soon? :D |
