bits and pieces

 
It's been a binding day....
In a GOOD way!

I have a stack of quilts here that only need binding.
Do you let your bindings accumulate too?
This one is for BASICS

I have this big glorious box of quilts to send up to he BRONX.
It will feel so good to give them away.


I consider this year, my year of ''quilt House cleaning''  
meaning I am finishing all my old tops.
I began cleaning the  studio and re organizing... I sifted through many old bins to 
find projects that have now sparked my interest again, which is always FUN!
Or find ones that I can give away to BASICS.
Better that someone gets use from them, rather than collecting dust in my studio!

I got a little overwhelmed cleaning up the studio... 
I have a lot more to go through!

Hope to have a nice clean shiny pic of the space soon.  
(maybe)

I think I managed to make the space more useful this time...
Rather like planning a kitchen on  a triangle.. (do you know that trick?)
Having everything accessible quickly in a turn of a triangle?
Well, mine is more rectangle, but it seems to work quite well. 
Storage space though is tricky.

I had to share our goofy picture taken at our friends wedding this past weekend.
They had silly props to make funny pics, photo booth style.
You took one pic home and 
the other went straight into a scrap book! Instant fun wedding guest memories!
I think I should have went with the Mustache... my pink LIPS are crooked!
Boo played it safe with angry bird... LOL!


I am really loving these blocks though... They make me smile... 

Sometime simple is just so darn good.

 Other than that, I didn't have a very productive sewing day today.
... I made ONE block. 
Wow!

Did you have a productive day?

  2. I'm just trying to figure out how you get to the sewing machine!! Looks like it is all blocked off... do you catapult into the center!! ha ha - there must be a path somewhere, but it's hard to see in this photo - I can imagine you swinging in from a ceiling pipe, like Catwoman!

  8. I like the way you've moved the fabrics so you see them from a distance. What's the big wood thing on the left? A quilting frame? Art? Looking forward to getting back into your studio again.
