a long weekend means ......

lots of time in the sewing room.

I have finally finished sorting through my stuff and have set up the new shelves.

this is what it looked like BEFORE


this is what it looks like NOW


I am now able to keep all of my quilting magazines in the one spot - they were spread out in different bookcases before.  ALL of my active projects are in clear containers on the left - the white basket in the top section holds all my Farmers Wife Sampler fabrics and the completed FWS blocks are in the box on the top of the shelves.

The white baskets hold various bits of fabrics, and all of my batting and interfacing stuff is on the bottom shelf.

My coloured scraps containers are the next items to be sorted out - they are on the right in the BEFORE photo, but I think I might put that off for another time, as now I am motivated to sew!

FNwF - show and tell


FNwF again!  they seem to be coming round quicker and quicker as the year progresses.

For October for Do Good Stitches, we were asked to make two scrappy blue pineapple blocks - I have never made one of these before, and was pleasantly surprised on how easily it came together.

I think this is the perfect scrap busting block :)

Now to find some more blues and greens in my stash - it's a long weekend here in Adelaide, so while hubby is working at home, I will spend time in the sewing room - how much better can life get?  LOL
