SOME PROGRESS, et al

 

Here are the "starting" color stacks of my prints....

[I say "starting" as I haven't gotten 

into my bins, boxes,

and bags as yet to pull fabrics out...

but there are not really

all that many fabrics left!!

I may have to go "shopping" to round

out some colors as you can tell from the

smaller stacks...--too bad hahaha]

The two bigger bins on the left top hold

whites and "I don't know where

to put these?" prints...

and my Jolly Bars and 10" 

precuts...

and

You can just spy my leftover

bindings bin on the top right...

Here are my solids on the right

still in bins but not

yet re-folded...

I don't seem to use solids

very much so I think storing

 them in bins will work--

at least for now.

All my jelly rolls, etc are stored in this blue bin

on my bottom shelf

and so far my shirtings reside in that plastic

zippy bag next to the pinks/reds bin....

I will be re-assessing these after I have 

gotten into my top shelf

pictured below

I did find my long-lost quilt labels fabric during my

search--so that is good...I need to label a lot

of my finished pieces...;)))

And

While I am sorting and folding I am

coming across lots of little pieces that are now

here

A new collection of 2.5" squares ready to go;))))

I am using my old Accuquilt Go! Baby

cutter and the 2.5" die--even though it has

dulled a lot with age...👾

Lots of these smaller pieces lined up to be cut...

(Does anyone know of a way

 a way to sharpen dies?)

***********************

While doing this I've felt the need to

break my "no buy" pledge:

So I began with these two great little

Halloween fabrics that I found on sale:

AND

I plan on using them to make my grandgirls--

Willa and Fiona --Halloween placemats...

I think they are just so cute;)))

So far so good--I am resting 

this afternoon after putting

in another 45 minutes this

morning...

I need to pamper my back a bit...

KAWANDI DEUX, et al

 

I've been wanting to make another

Kawandi-style piece 

since I finished this little

practice one:

↧↧↧↧↧↧

I learned a lot making this....

and I really like the process--

so different...and so 

nice and scrappy...

One thing for sure--I want to stitch 

in closer rows this time and with more

lines of quilting ,,,

Could this turn out to be 

"Daughter of Dark Days"????

(See the uneven stitching? )

I may take it all out and re-do them--

S  I  G  H..

but if I don't I 

KNOW it will bother me...so

before I get any farther on the border...

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbiting...

It's hard for me to sew on a table without

leaning forward too much 

and hurting my back; so,

I will pin the pieces in place for  

one whole side and then

(I know it's not really done that

way traditionally)  I will to sew as

usual  in my lap. 

I am just using stash and scraps 

on hand and that is revealing that I have

a whole lot of "darks" and

not that many "lights" of every

color stack...

Since I've been taking out

one color at a time and

refolding them 

(so I even can tell WHAT I

have in there!! What a mess!!)

I figured this would be a good time to

set up a new Kawandi-style piece...

[You can see the piles of fabrics on

my table above...]

And....in other news...

↡↡↡

We have a lot of green tomatoes, but none have, as yet, turned red...

***********************

It is a lovely day; low humidity and cooler with a nice

Northerly breeze....

We had our coffee out on the deck--

Aaaahhhh..

.

Nice slow start to the day...
