Hi, all!
Well, it's been a very productive week here - about time!! This will be a long post, so let's get right to last week's list....
1. Quilt the skateboarding quilt.
Done! And I'm working on the binding right now...
2. Quilt a man's quilt for the ministry.
Done! Pam pieced this lovely top, I quilted and bound it... (More pics to come on Wednesday's ministry update!)
3. Piece a stars quilt for the ministry.
In progress - up on the design wall, and hopefully I'll get it sewn together tomorrow...

| Looking at this, I'm seeing some changes I want to make... |
4. Piece a charm squares mini quilt for a special project.
Pieced - now I just need to get it quilted! (More on this special project below...)
5. Put together more kits for the ministry.
Done! And snatched up by ministry members before I could take a picture! But I did some by Amy Smart's Easy Strawberry Fields Bricks Quilt design, some others by Amanda Jean Nyberg's Stacked Coins Baby Quilt design, and a few that will make a quilt similar to these great quilts by Rita over at Red Pepper Quilts!
And if you saw my blog last week, you know that I have been on a re-organizing kick - so here's what I managed to get done on that front...

| The storage shelves in their final position (I had to move the quilt frame a little to make that back shelf work there...) |
 |
| New shelves in that closet make it a lot more useful! |
 |
| And maybe you remember this pic of my |
 |
| Well, here's what it looks like now! |
And that missing chair?
 |
| Not missing any more! |
 |
| Still a work in progress, but getting there! |

2. Piece the stars top.
3. Quilt the charms squares mini quilt.

You have been one busy woman! I need for you to come to my house to organize. Sewing Sisters are rocking. Beautiful quilts. Can't wait to see Friday's surprise.
ReplyDeleteYes, great organization! Some lovely peeks at works in progress, can't wait to see more.

Sarah, Your organization looks great!!! Well done.
ReplyDeleteSharyn
Love all the ways your are organizing! It is so freeing to work in an organized space!!! (at least for me)
ReplyDeleteI'm curious, what kind of quilt frame do you have? Is it a long arm machine?
Have a great week!
Looking at your reorganizing photos makes me want to give you a standing-o! Woo-hoo, what a feeling of accomplishment that must be. It looks like the quilting mojo has room to move now, by the looks of all you've gotten done and have planned.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me...I won a book in a giveaway at the end of January's scraps-along challenge, and there's a cute quilt in there that made me think of you and your ministry quilts, and the scrap management system. It's made with 3.5 inch scrap squares. I'll have to email you the details soon.
I need you to help me organize my basement quilting storage area.
