I worked this morning on die cutting:
3 sizes of strips--
2", 1.5" and 1";
5" squares,
Lg. 1/4 sq triangles,
and small 1/4 sq triangles.
All using my dies...
the little leftover pieces
I will then sub-cut into 2.5", 2" and 1.5"
squares...
Since I have so much trouble
these days with rotary work
I've decided to pre-cut
my fabrics into usable
sizes....beginning with
this bin of Batiks
below
Here is the bin of batiks I've collected
and
NEVER USED!!!!!
This is all part and parcel of my cutting back
(no pun intended haha)
on my fabric stash
and paper crafting supplies...
Here are some boxes I've already
emptied:
to Heart Springs and
more will be donated as I decide what
to keep and what to de-stash...
I really think it is so very
DIFFICULT to
"Let things go"....
A lot of these items date back
from when I first started to quilt...
At this point in my life, there is
no way I'll ever ever use it all up!!
So, I am hoping that
someone else can
put the stuff to good use...
I worked for 1 and 1/2 hours with
resting breaks of 5 minutes...here
and there...
PHEW...
("We have only just begun..." as
my song for all occasions).
A little bit each day--with time
to sit and survey how my
room is set up....
and will now be set up
on a much smaller scale.
We would like to move our
treadmill in here from its
present position in the bedroom...

us with any blooms...

Tonight I
am making a recipe from
"Yellow Bliss.com"
A taco version:
Called "Taco Ring"
Doesn't that look yummy?
I got all the ingredients this morning at
the grocery....

Hugs on a beautiful sunny morning,
