Organizing, Celtic and pin cushion

I got the “urge” to re-organize my fabrics, they weren’t in too bad of a mess, but the bottom shelf was for fabrics that coordinated and I had the bobbin winder on the 2nd shelf from the bottom and a CERTAIN little girl, knew how to climb up on the first shelf and turn in on- not mentioning any names here- SONJA!! Winking smile

So moved the winder up and re folded and sorted the fabrics.

White, Yel/orange, red on top shelf

Pink and purple on the next shelf

BLUES- I love blues, so dark blue, light blue and teal on the 3rd shelf

and green, brown and black on the bottom.

I also got some celtic solstic sewing done this weekend, I totally missed the extra HSTs from clue #3 so I had to make them, and now I’ve decided I really don’t “like” that ruler for it, I’d rather cut 2 7/8” squares or whatever it was to get them done, but these blocks are done!! PHEW

A layout idea I had

While I ironed, a CERTAIN little girl climbed up and pretended to sew and messed up the order of my blocks- oh well- I got it figured out Winking smile

My husband did a little “project” too, a chin up bar for the kids, my oldest can just barely reach it, so they have the chair there to help.

  1. That CERTAIN little girl is really getting into things these days, but what fun she must be.

    Your mystery is looking great, wonderful colors, and quite a little helper you have 🙂

  3. Your layout for the Celtic blocks is so good, I like it. What a sweet little helper you've got in your studio!

  4. I think Sonja is definitely going to grow up to be a quilter…..she already enjoys playing with fabric and gadgets!! Your Celtic Solstice is looking good and I've been cleaning up my studio also…..must be the time of year!

  5. want to come and organise my fabrics? Mine are NOT in any sort of order!!!Hope the New Year finds you rested and ready to go xx

  6. I did a tiny bit of organizing too last night but I have plans for some more at some point. It always feels good to have things in order, doesn't it.

    I'm glad I'm not the only quilter in an organizing mood… it's fun to look forward to new projects in 2014!

  8. Happy New Year. I'm looking forward to another year of seeing all your wonderful sewing. Hugs

  9. Happy New Year! I'm thinking you need to make some quilt blocks for Sonja so she can lay them out and drag them around. Of course, yours will always be more interesting. I think your progress looks good.
