Flower Garden Quilt and the other was an organization project.
I organized all my craft supplies and projects that have been stored into big, medium and small storage boxes over the years. I have over 48 storage boxes and they hold fabric, yarn, buttons, zippers, pins, pin cushions, rotary cutters, snaps, Velcro, excelsior, batting, fiberfil, batting, embroidery floss, embroidery hoops, tape, paper, greeting cards, thread, stabilizer, beads, jewelry findings, paints, glue, and glue guns, etc. Some have specific projects in them that are ready to be started (or finished) and some boxes just hold several items that go together like yarn, pom pom makers, and a nostepinne. I organized all the like items together, labeled the boxes and indexed the box on the computer. I put most of those boxes in my office closet and I have a legend that tells me the location of each box and what is in it. It's nice to know where everything is.
Here's are a couple of pictures of the inside of my closet.
I spent about 3 weeks last month working on the Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt. After I finished putting the third row on the quilt top, I figured up how many hexagons I need of each color for rows 4, 5, 6 and 7. I traced them and cut all of those out. I paper punched more hexagon papers for basting, then I basted and sewed together all the flowers for the fourth row of the quilt top. I just have to add the green path to each flower before I sew it to what is already together.
Here's a picture of the flowers for the fourth row.
On Saturday and Sunday last weekend I spent time knitting dishcloths. They are a thank you gift for my DD for helping me with some yard work last Saturday morning.
Here's a picture of the knitted dishcloths. I love the yellow yarn. I have to get more of that color for me.
