Drawer is cleaned out

I don't know why I have so many scissors.
I don't know why I have so many of those seam measure things. (You know the ones you use in sewing, not quilting)
I have lots of needles.
I have lots of lotions
But, the zippers and things are in their own home, or at least in the right drawer.  LOL

Prairie Moon Procrastination Challenge

I didn't get anything done in August.  This month is my #10 Spring Jelly Roll.  I do not know how it is going to go.  I'm 4 months behind now.  I have lots of quilt and should probably just focus on them and start other things later.  Right now it is preparation time for the September Booster Meeting.

batting


I thought I was doing well and then I found another bag of batting.
I am doing well.  This pile was up the top of the cabinet.
Now the bag is almost touching the cabinet.
I just cut out 52 5" squares for coasters.

Stashbuster UFO #

Well, we know I've not been doing much of anything lately in the quilting department.
Stashbusters has pulled the UFO numbers and they are:

11. Basket block
40.Copper and teal quilt

# 11 is one of the ones from a previous month because i pull the finished UFOs out of the list.
I know that was going to happen one time, but...

So, my basket block needs to be done and made into a pillow or something.
I know I don't want to do a full quilt out of it.
I don't like the construction of that block.

I love my copper and teal quilt.
I just need to pull it from the cabinet.
I might wait until I get a couple of the other things around here done.

Clean out and organize one drawer


I decided to tackle the drawer near my sewing machine.
It used to be organized - 10 years ago, but look at what 10 years will do to a drawer.  LOL
I got all my quilts in a stack
This is the most I've had hanging around ever.
The bottom one is Mom's and I don't know that I will ever get rid of it, but all the rest could find homes.

I finished the purple and green quilt and it is picked up.
It was fun once I got to quilting it.
Iv'e been cleaning today instead of quilting and I think that is going to help.
