3. Organizational Challenge 

If you have fabric laying around, put it away.

Tidy up the space that has collected your creativity.

This is where fabrics go when I'm using them and trimming, or pulling from the closet and they don't want to go back.

It is way overflowing and needs to be put away.

Well, it is sorted, scraps are all put away.

The bin is empty.

How long will it stay that way, and can I develop a new habit of putting it all away on Friday or Saturdays?

4. WITB

This bag was crazy.

More crafting items, lots of receipts, college paperwork that is to be filed in DD's folder, catalogs for a self defense item DD want for when she returned from her late class, makeup items, and all sort of papers that were tossed.

I'd like a day when I didn't have any of these crazy items around me.

Since I create them and have taught my family to create them, I doubt that will ever happen.

5. Make Color Guard bags

6. Work on Baby Clothing quilt
Ready to put that side together.
Design wall is ready for it to be up there again.

It is so big and heavy, it is difficult to put up on the design wall.

I need to make the long strip of  pieces.

Everything is cut, so it is just a matter of sewing it all together.

7. Bind Bread and Butter Stars

8. Work on Pixie Garden

Design Wall Monday

I'm linking to Small Quilts Doll Quilt's Design Wall Monday and Monday Makings

Baby Boy clothing quilt.
I only have one 6" row to assemble and add to the quilt.
It is a very heavy quilt.
They want blue jean fabric for the back.
I'm trying to find the lightest weight blue jean fabric and having trouble.

Clemens T-shirt Quilt

This will be coming off soon to be quilted.

Pixie Garden complete

Sat and watched a couple shows tonight and completed the binding.

I think it turned out OK.

Pixie Garden

It is quilted. I think I'm binding in the dark green.

I need to make the binding and sew it on.

Pincushion

Fat Quarter Shop had a tutorial on making a crocheted pincushion.

I modified it a bit.

My hook must have too bit or the yarn.

I only did 4 rounds and it finished at 5".
