Linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal August Link-up.
I’m continuing to work on my three Project Linus Mystery QALs. I’m making two copies of PL 2017 – “Exploring the World with Ethan” and one copy of PL 2018 – “Sweet Violet’s Bakery & Confectionery” and each month I’ve been choosing a block to complete.
After finishing the two tops for Fabric Cafe and getting them in the mail, I returned to working on Stage #1 of my Sewing Room Remodel/Organization.
As I mentioned in my last post, we are organizing my sewing room, but as this is a BIG project I didn’t want to be completely without sewing time.
Although I do have plenty of sewing on my To-Do List, two priority projects arrived on my doorstep last Friday. I make tops for Fabric Cafe which are made into sample quilts that are displayed in their booth at quilt shows.
First, I must tell you that we live in the house where my siblings & I grew up. My parents bought this house in 1956. In 2003, my husband and I moved in to assist my mother & brother. Just imagine decades of multiple generations of furniture & storage. This Summer my DH has been working in the yard, but as it got too hot/humid to be outside he has started going through the basement. Let’s just say I come by my pack rat tendencies naturally, and we’ll leave it at that.
While the many discoveries could fill countless posts, we’ll leave that for another time. What has happened was that he cleared out 2 tall wooden bookcases and asked if I wanted them for my sewing room. My sewing room has evolved over the years with no particular order and was becoming very frustrating. Boxes and bags were used for storage & I was spending way too much time moving things trying to find items/fabric I knew I had but couldn’t find.
Where has this month gone? It’s not even August and we’ve already have had 4 “Heat Waves,” and this week promises to be the fifth! It has definitely been time to stay inside & stitch.
Today I’m linking up with Elm Street Quilts & sharing my One Monthly Goal Finish for July.
