Spring Fever!

I have spent the entire weekend in my sewing room and haven't even turned on my machine. Nope, haven't cut any fabric or plugged in the iron either. I have been organizing. Do you need a minute to catch your breath or get up off the floor? I sense you may be laughing hard. It had to be done, I am fed up with the clutter in here. It is so hard to get any work done when I have to clear a workspace every time. Sadly, the cutting table and the sewing table are still completely buried. But honestly, I am really getting somewhere. I have been sorting and folding my stash. I also packed up quite a bit of fabric into banker's boxes. I labeled them and put them in a closet. This was the wools, flannels, homespuns, xmas fabric, and batiks. I am having second thought about the batiks going into the closet though. I love the way they are in the box though, all in a row so I can just flip through them. I really should have taken a picture. Very soon I am going to make the back for my batik quilt though, so I'll nab a photo then. I organized my ribbons, buttons, notions, trims, patterns, and fat quarters. Tomorrow, I will clear everything off the tables and sort through it. My kitchen counter and island are rarely cluttered (maybe cuz I don't cook much, lol), and my goal is for this room to look the same. I'll ask you again, do you need a minute?

So anyway, last weekend the Wild Threads had a pillow swap and here is the little sweetie, I made. I just can't resist Kelly's designs from Don't Look Now. I mixed and matched from her patterns to make this little pillow.

Tweet! The birdies are always my favorite. I think the next pillow or mini I make might just have to have a dozen of these babies.
I knew I bought the heart shaped shell buttons for a good reason. I've have them for probably 5 years.

Hi Ladybug! I'm glad to see you on this pretty pillow instead of crawling aroung my bedroom and bathroom.

Last weekend I made something new and special..... but I can't show you yet. It has to wait until next weekend. But I will show you this, I used the scraps from my secret project and threw this together. It's about 6 X 8 inches and I'll probably make it into a mini wallquilt or pillow. It's on my design wall for now. I like it there. It's cheery.

Next weekend, I'll unveil my little secret project. Bye bye!
