I'm not finished, by a long shot. In fact, I've progressed to the move-messy stacks-from-place-to-place stage, expanding into the Other Half's territory. Which probably means that some things need to go. Out. Away. Never to return. That's what this week is for ......
In the meantime, the cutting table is finally clear.

The sewing table is finally clear.

| Ready to sew binding on Rock Island, Rock On |
Yesterday I cut the binding for "Rock Island, Rock On" (a/k/a/ Rock Island Campfires) using about 1/2 yard of fabric.
And after I got the binding sewed on, I began cutting strips from my scraps. I have 5-1/2", 3", 2-1/2", 2", and 1-1/2" piles. Why 5-1/2"? you might be asking. It's the size I use for "Mary's Triangles." They are really fun to make. I'll put together a tutorial this week, so check back if you are intrigued ....

| Still stripping, after all these years ...... |
Small progress, but it's a start. I will be taking a box full of old magazines, some sewing room accessories, and several yards of fabric (previously counted out) for the freebie table at guild tomorrow. I am definitely in a de-accessioning mode, can you tell?
Stash report this week:
In this Week: 0.0 yards
In year to Date: 157.25 yards
Out this Week: 3.0 yards (.5 binding, 2.5 give-away)
Out Year-to-Date: 130 yards
Net Used 2014 -27.25 yards
Linking up with Judy at Patchwork Times.
Your Adventures in Cleaning are inspiring! I cleaned my sewing room last week, but still need to go back and weed through fabrics to see what will live with me and what will find a new home. Beautiful quilts!
ReplyDeleteThere must have been something in the air as I read several quilters cleaning, too! Thanks for visiting.
DeleteI'm putting together a box of stuff to take to my guild too Libby :) I'm almost done with my studio makeover - it has been such a job!!! But it looks great and everything is so much more organized and easy to find & use :) Now I'm off to see what you are doing with those 5-1/2" strips :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so much easier to work when there's a place for everything and everything is in its place (to quote The Mama). I've always used that philosophy in my kitchen, less so in the sewing room. ;p
DeleteYour sewing space looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kate. Have a great week!
