Welcome to my messy studio! The disorder you see is the result of sweeping and mopping the floor. What began as a quick tidy-up turned into a 12-hour cleaning when I discovered a large dust bunny under the longarm. It clearly needed it, given the time it took. It's interesting how things turn out; just look at what was hiding under the longarm – scrap baskets!
This cart has been storing small scraps for my Vortex quilt. I haven't worked on it for months and have no plans to anytime soon.
Making the fabric baskets and filling them with matching scraps seemed like a great idea initially. Now it seems like a waste of storage space. I will add these scraps with the others, allowing me to use this cart as storage for the works in progress instead of having them piled up on my cutting table.
I'm excited to find these and to sift through them for fabrics to use in the Bow-Tie quilt.
Before I could sort and store the fabrics, I had to get back to the cleaning, from the ceiling to floor. My old broom was put through its paces. Interestingly, did you know that almost all brooms can stand upright by themselves? It's like a little bit of magic!
While cleaning, I discovered an additional box of scraps that I had set aside for string quilting. They were added to the cutting table along with all the other fabrics to be sorted.
My agenda for today now that the dust bunnies have been conquered...organizing and storing these fabrics. I hope to find some cuties!
It's always interesting to find those bits and bobs (whole projects in some cases) that we stored away the last time we cleaned. Have fun sorting thru your found scraps.
ReplyDeleteNice work on the cleanup! And WooHoo on finding more purple and orange scraps, an awesome bonus/reward for evicting the dust bunnies.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving what you're doing with your scraps. The stash in the cabinets makes me drool - wow, wow, wow.
ReplyDeleteI do that too, plan to sew something then end up cleaning. It always feels good to sew in a clean room, happy stitching!
