What a mess…

This year it is a slow start with a big mess. Why the mess? Last year time flew by and towards the end of the year, it was just easier to ignore the mess in my sewing room.

The house got all spring cleaned and tidy up. It just makes the start to a new year so much lighter. I knew the sewing room was turning into clutter piles, the only way to address it permanently was just not to just pack it away. These fabrics was sorted, I now know greens, orange and a few other colours are required. Have enough reds, blues and browns.

The French General packet of fabric needs to be emptied, cut and used(the plastic bag is falling apart, a sure sign something needs to be done about said fabrics). Have two patterns which should use most of these fabrics.

The stems needs to be finished on this vase for the red and white Love Entwined quilt.

My RSC22 project is these blocks, all along I called them churn dash blocks when they are in actual fact shoo-fly blocks?

All along I was thinking about these blocks and pattern when prepping these blocks?

Part seven of Bonnie Hunters mystery was released on friday, this is the next block.

These pieces are cut. Sewing them will happen this week.

Fat eights sorted and ready for washing and ironing. ( I have become a fabric washer after making a king size quilt and the fabrics bleeding. We have all been there and it is heart wrenching.) Another snowy day starts and an apple crumble will be baked today. Starting the year slowly, sorting things systematically to create order and increase slow progress. The tortoise and the hare, worked last year. A pace that was doing things at a pace that was slower, yet worked so much better in the long run. Patterns which was collected, kitted up from my stash and waiting in the wings... So for this year only one project for RSC22, Omygosh! It will allow me to work on these projects, finding a daily routine in this crazy world with yet more restrictions and lockdowns. The past eighteen months saw lots of finished projects, quilt tops and more, a silver lining to all that is happening externally!
