So I just completed a cross country move... NY to CA. Well, three months ago now. I spent the first month just trying to get adjusted to my new surroundings and doing all kinds of exploring. Now that it's getting colder, and I actually have some free time I have started thinking about my quilting. So I went into the office I haven't been into for a while and started opening up boxes... and more boxes... and bags... whew!
It's amazing how much fabric you can accumulate very quickly. I counted about 5 packages of brand new fabric I bought because I liked the fabric and "planned to do something with it." I found 2 BOM UFO's, 3 UFO's in progress, a quilt kit or two, and lots of random fabric. I have two or three finished quilt tops waiting to be sandwiched. I got into purse making and have a bunch of silks and damasks for that. I have teddy bear fabric in long plush or velveteen pieces.
And, as you can see, my poor little Singer is sitting under a bunch of teddies on the table... waiting to come out of the box... I really have to get more coordinated. It's a little hard because we're in a rental, and I don't want to really go whole hog until I can properly set up. Or maybe that's just an excuse to think about this tomorrow... maybe I should take a break and start looking at fabric online...? Those quilt tops are going to need some backing after all....
It looks like you have a lot of nice fabrics to work with. Maybe you get new inspiration when you get it organized!
ReplyDeleteLovely to unpack and find things you had forgotten about - like a mini Christmas! Have fun!
