Ironing scraps? Have I lost my mind?
#1
I was having one of those days yesterday where I felt like being in my sewing room, but couldn't decide what to work on. Too many WIPs, I guess. So I grabbed my scrap bin and started ironing my scraps and sorting them. I have never ever done this before. In fact, I never iron unless it involves sewing. My kids were weirded out, and I could hear them laughing and saying they wished Dad were here to see it.
Anyone else ever do this?

Last fall I spent two days ironing scraps. It was tking up too much room and I brought the size of it down to 1/3 of the pile I had and now I know exactly what I have. It makes perfect sense to me.

This is the perfect way to find out what you have and perhaps think of a great new idea for a quilt. You have to remember, your kids will only be a clever as you are when they are over 30, so let them laugh now, because one day you will be able to see them doing then, what you do now.
