Quilting ADD Continued

I’ve gotten back to my quilting organization after a hiatus.  Seems like I can only do so much at a time and then have to take a break before moving on.  So . . . . . . . . I got sick of tripping over my fabric collections sitting on the floor and was spurred on to containerize my Jo Morton/Little Women fabrics.

 In the first stage, I took it all and put it on the shelf.  At least it was off the floor, but it still wasn’t satisfying me.  I knew I should just keep at it till it felt good.

 

 

So, I measured my shelves and headed to Joanne ETC.  Luckily I found just the right size of plastic containers with cute blue covers that fit exactly on my shelf.  I labeled each one with a color and then started sorting.  I folded all the fat quarters and slipped them neatly in appropriate container.  

 

 

Doesn’t it look nice?  All neat and in a row.

 

 

 I’m finally satisfied.  Now, will it help me actually sew some Little Quilts?  Stay posted to find out.

Quilting ADD

Disorganization, lack of focus, misplacing things, too many projects going at once.  Sounds like ADD to me.  

I decided it was time to tackle my demon, so I spent several hours this weekend cleaning out and organizing my sewing room.  

I filed all the loose patterns into my filing cabinets.  I started several 3 ring binders to keep track of my projects.  Those went on top of the file cabinets along with a basket of fabric scrap strips. 

 

 

I cleaned off my sewing table completely.  (Don’t know if that’s ever happened before.)  Then I bought some small plastic drawers to store things within easy access.  I used my labeler to make a label for each drawer so there’s some hope of keeping the table clean for more than a day.  

 

 

 

I moved a pegboard and hung tools on it for easy access.  

 

 

I also hung a couple small white boards on the wall to keep me on track.  

 

 

Now . . . . .  where did I put that mystery quilt I’ve been working on?
