I had felt items that had been sitting around for a long time

I finished two of them and ended up using one as a bingo prize.

I had leftover embroidery when I made pillows for DD

I had digitized them and wanted to make sure they stitched out properly, so these were the stitch-outs.

I made them into pillows for dear friends.

I really love the organic quilting on pillows.

I love this little pincushion that I made completely in the embroidery machine.

Then, I had a Thanksgiving UFO and it turned out there were other embroidery in that bag that were not Thanksgiving themed.

This was the only Thanksgiving theme in that bag, so it became a pincushion.

I put up new (the old curtains from DD's apartment) into the sewing room.

I had white ones up and they were not helping with heat or color.

These are pretty and will help with the heat.

As I want to add light, I can open them like they are in this photo.

See the mess in front of the long arm?

That is from behind it.

I still need to go through everything before I find another home for it.

That back area is empty.

I like it that way, but I have no place to put all the items in the front.

I do have a round pillow I need to make that will use up some of the tiny pieces of fabric and batting.

DH said he would help me draw a circle on that fabric so I can get it made and reduce some of the clutter.

I need some ideas for using up batting leftovers.

So, in going through things, I have two packing barrels that movers used for my china.

They are great containers, but I don't seem to get into them.

I should find something that I don't use often to store in them.

I had stored tote bags in the china barrels and completely forgot about them.

I love my totes, but these were the ones that are a free advertisement for businesses.

DD and I went through them and only kept a few that were the size I like or were sentimental to her.

The phot above is showing all the bags in bags.

A friend has a place that will either use them or find a place for them.

Next time someone is going her way, I'll pass them on.

So, the China barrels are empty.

I will have a new space when I'm done with all the rearranging and cleaning.

Quilting is more fun than Housework has us working on scraps.

I have two more columns to sew together.

I spent most of the week sewing smaller items and cleaning.

I had to put this on hold to finish up some other things that had to be done.

The top rows are sewn together and I need to keep on sewing them together.
