After I shared how I folded "larger cuts" of fabric (one yard to six yard cuts) on carboards, many of you have inquired how I store the smaller cuts of fabric I own. Well, those fat quarters and smaller cuts (half yard and less) are stored in color coded plastic tubs out in my garage. […]
I 'd like to share some more with you about my recent organizing activities in my sewing room. I am always interested to hear about how fellow sewers set up their space, so hopefully my posts on the subject will be informative for some of you as well. I have had this dresser in my […]
Here is my newly reorganized stash cupboard! I have been folding fabric on 7 x 10 1/2 inch comic book boards for days. I bought three packs of 100 cardboards for $33 on amazon.com, and went through 200 plus a few. I have plenty left for more fabric, but seeing what I have on hand, […]
I am struggling so this week without a computer. My daughter has generously allowed me to use her teensy little MacBook Air, which is quite a different beast from my big Dell laptop. Everything is tiny and strange, and I am dying to get my own laptop back from the repair shop. Hopefully that will […]
Just a quick note to say my computer is in the repair shop and I am forced to rely on the kindness of others for computer time this past week. I hope to get my laptop back today, with any luck and be back to sharing what I've been up to tomorrow. I've been folding […]
I am so excited to share with you my Sunflower Sisters quilt! I made this quilt as a Sew Along with two friends, Thelma of Cupcakes "n' Daisies and Lisa of Stashmaster. We swapped red, gold, black and brown fabrics to give ourselves more variety, and gave each other lots of encouragement as we proceded […]
One great thing about vacations is that they usually supply a good amount of time for reading. My ideal vacations do anyway. I have a very busy life right now, between caring for a frail 92 year old man, a 2 year old toddler, a part time job, and keeping up a 3600 square foot […]
This is what I accomplished on my vacation. Not great, but I will take it. Between reading three entire novels, accompanying my husband on lunch dates where we ate great food while observing Lake Tahoe, and watching more sunsets than I thought strictly necessary, I did squeeze in a little sewing. The good news is, […]
This photo is from Moda Bakeshop, which I saw on Pinterest. Beautiful, isn't it? I have been toying with ideas on how to better organize my fabric stash for some time now. My husband put together several metal shelving units for me to store my fat quarters and bundles, which are in labeled plastic bins. […]
Why, here is a nice roll of freezer paper. Can you imagine what I am going to use it for? Bet you can't! No, I am not embarking on an applique project, but that is indeed what I originally purchased this roll of freezer paper for. I can't remember where I got this tip, as […]
