long process

If you remember my mess, it has taken me a while to work on it.
Every time I started, I would find I was moved to do something else.
But, I did get through all the containers.
The batting container has had parts used from it.
The other containers that hold the fabric I've used have been emptied and fabric replaced in the scrap drawer or the stash.
My cutting table has the items I'm using at this point in time, so they stay. 
I really really really need to figure out a better way to handle the cutting table, but that is for another day.

Having a clean floor is nice too. 
I started filing again.
It has been gathering by the desk.
While talking with DD, I filed a bag of receipts and money (you know the change you get from your purse when it gets too heavy).

Design Wall Monday

This is coming along.
I have all the rows done and now to put it together into the to and decide on the borders. 
The frog quilt is going together into the top.
This is for DD's roommate's Mom.

St Patrick's wreath

I like the wreath on DD's door.

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


I am working on 9-patches for a Frog quilt. 

I'm using scraps for the 9-patches and the cornerstones.

Mess

It seems I need more accountability.
I don't really know how my room became such a mess, but it has.
Even my cutting table is a mess.
Granted, I'm working on a project or two that are in the cutting phase, but I normally don't have this big of a mess.

So, I don't have a doctor's appointment until 3 pm, and I plan to make this better.
I'm not exactly sure how, but I'm going to do it.

St Patrick's Day Postcards

I know I have a swap coming up, so I used the leftover pieces from the placemats to make postcards.
They are ready for when I receive the list of whom to mail them to.
