Just a quick post today to show you my "turnabout" strip quilt. As you might remember Hanne has a strip challenge going this summer to use some of those pretty Jelly Rolls. I finished the binding yesterday, and can now cross it off my list of stuff to get done before leaving for Florida next week. Another thing on my list is to clean my sewing room, and last night I started with the fabric shelves- it looked like a disaster area (I'm not kidding!!)
These are my shelves- now it has been close to impossible to find anything that's not laying on top here...
This is my new "look". I had an empty rack with four drawers like this and moved it into my sewingroom. Now most of my fabrics will be neatly folded like this, and I will be able to see what I actually have.... Now my jelly rolls, FQ packs and charm packs will still live on my shelf- they just look so cute, and now they will have plenty of room as well. I told DH I had to do this clean up so I would see how much fabric I do have, and not buy so much while on vacation- but of course now it will look like I have hardly any fabric at all- so of course I will need to shop!Have a great day!
Congratulations on finishing Hanne's strip challenge! It is wonderful. Your fabrics look so nice in the basket drawer. I should be doing the same.
ReplyDeleteI understand the need to clean the sewing room , yours looks so nice now with the baskets so nice and to look at yor jellyrolls will be a plus. Love your little strip quilt too. And A shopping you and I will go while you are here can't wait.Hugs Mariequilts
ReplyDeleteLove the way you think - hope you find plenty of lovely fabric in Florida to restock your shelves. Those wire baskets look perfect for neatly storing fabric!
ReplyDeleteI simply LOVE that quilt..the colors, the pattern, the fabric. It's just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI will support your decision to do lots of serious fabric shopping on vacation!
ReplyDeleteStrip quilt is AOK in my book. Colors are great and pattern you used also. Safe travel for you and yours to Florida. Have a fun trip.
ReplyDeleteI love that strip quilt. Beautiful sunny colours, and a wonderful pattern! Jeg blir glad bare av å se på det!
ReplyDeleteImponerende å få ryddet opp i stoffhyllene! Jeg har fått en bok "Freddy's House" av Freddy Moran. En frodig dame det er vel verdt å google. Nyt syrommet og hygg deg i Florida. Godt med ryddige hyller når du kommer tilbake! Fortsatt god sommer. Anne
