Monday happenings.

First off. I was naughty.

I started a new quilt when I said I wouldn't until I had those others done...
oh well.
But I got this, and I just had to do something
so I could use this as the backing!
How could I not!

(NOTICE: there are no blues or turquoise in this quilt. ok, there is brown...
oh, well, I sort of tried something new!)

*****

I sit here AGAIN, cleaning my studio... New York DUST, I swear is the worst. I clean the floor of my studio everyday. And dust bunnies build up that quick... So the hard to reach places, Wow! MoNsTeR dust bunnies! Nightmare quality...
And since I got the new machine, I felt like I needed a new arrangements so I can get to all my machines when I want to, so I have embarked on a complete switch-a-roo! I added a design wall, so i can stop laying things out on the floor, Since i had space to do that, I just needed to move things around a bit. So far so good.

One day I will get to my desk... sigh.

Messy, messy, messy. Things just pile up...



I have been cutting squares from all my scrap bins for the past week. I need to seriously make them smaller. they overflow all over. I feel like I haven't even made a dent in them!

I found many vintage fabric squares, that was a treat! Woo hoo! Add them to the bunch! And so many wonderful scraps of fabric, that can tell such a story. Mostly of my daughter growing up.
Fabric from a vintage dress I cut apart to make her bedding for her crib set. Scraps from clothes I have made for her, hats, diaper covers, toys...

A really tacky XMAS print sundress I made for a themed Christmas party we had one year. I was dressed as a Suzy homemaker... Go figure!
Fabric from quilts that have long since been loved so much I had to repair them.
It was like walking down memory lane. Made it even more real, how fast time goes by.

Another shot of those weird buildings. They actually looks pretty cool at night.
