I was able to start working on Sweet Tweets block 7 . It is birthday week here so celebrations have taken up a good deal of free time. Our youngest daughter, husband, and youngest daughter's sister in law pretty much a second daughter for us all in one week. Lots of fun dinners and cake. Plus I am preparing to teach three classes to beginner quilters at our local shop in February and March. Lots of prep work to get that going.
I am still working on better storage in my sewing room. I have two closets and multiple wire bins of fabric stacked in all of them. Finding anything is a real chore. I discovered a mini bolts system on Amazon and thought try them out. Oh my, what a difference it has made. That top row previously took up both these shelves. Finding anything amounted to pulling the whole stack out and causing others to fall over. I have ordered another 2 packs and plan to continue through both closets.

Great fabric storage, it looks neat and pretty. Sweet Tweets is coming along very nicely, cute little bird!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to everyone!
Thank you for sharing ;)
He's pretty! Luv the fabric you chose for this one
ReplyDeleteWhat a space saver your new mini bolt storage system is, plus you can see all your fabrics and organize them. Sweet Tweet #7 is great. I think that is one of my favorite blocks of the group.
ReplyDeleteThe Sweet Tweet block is lovely! Very nice progress on organization.
ReplyDeleteIt feels so great to get things organized better...I'm always at it it seems. Meanwhile I adore that appliqued block. It is just beautiful!
ReplyDelete♫♪Happy Birthday♪♫ to all the birthday folks.

I love the bird too. You're so talented.

I started wrapping my larger pieces of fabric around cardboard pieces and it worked out great....then I ended up letting myself get totally unorganized again.
ReplyDeleteWow, those boards really made a difference, good call on picking them up! Your birds are so lovely and love the fussy cutting you did on the flowers.
ReplyDeleteYour bird is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI sorted and organized my fabric a few years ago, and it was a game changer. It took me about a month though. Yours looks to pretty on the shelf!
ReplyDeleteNice organization! When we moved last year I sold my fabric cabinets because I didn't want to move them or store them. That is exactly how I had my fabric and worked great as long as there wasn't more than 2 yards wrapped. I'm looking for another fabric storage solution , just on a lower scale since I cannot have a cabinet more than 4' tall. Thank you for liking up to Put your foot down, love your block.
ReplyDeleteI started doing that too, with fabric. I am not incorporating some things from an apartment we are now closing down. Thanks for linking to tips and tutes!
