Some progress ...

I got a Me day to sew for several hours on Sunday while the boys were at baseball camp.  It was practically disorienting.  I am hoping that gets me on track again sewing-wise.  I needed some alone time to finish Brady's minion quilt in time for his birthday on Saturday.  Of course, when I laid it down to measure for binding Sherman had to get in on the action. Sigh.

Once the boys got home, I was still inspired so I made four of those strippy charity quilts using the WOF novelty fabric cuts that I still have stockpiled.  I'll turn them in to the guild and the charity team will pair them up with batting, backings, and binding fabric.  I might keep one of the girly creations.  It is just so cute.  I have no idea what I'll do with it but ...  I actually see a real dent out of my novelty drawer!  That never happens.

I only had one cut of the cowboys and cowgirls but I think it turned out really cute with the twinkle twinkle stripe.  The stripe was on clearance years ago.  It was loosely woven and printed somewhat off kilter but that's ok.

I'm still working on my sewing room.  One side of the closet was a weird dimension so it took me a while to find shelves that would maximize the space. I needed the space to contain my finished quilts that previously lived in an armoire.  Here's the before and after.

I also hung two design walls to maximize the one unused wall.  I used one 4x8 sheet plus a scrap to fill in the open space.  The top in the photo is about 42x55 so that gives you a sense of scale.  Yes, I will need a ladder if I ever use it to lay out a bed sized quilt but that's ok. If I never end up using the high space, I could also put inspiration stuff up there.  We will see.

The doors are on the cabinets but they still have the blue protective wrap while waiting for handles to be installed.

Next, I need to organize a small cabinet and deal with a couple of smaller storage containers of miscellaneous items.  I have to say that it has been a lot easier finding things now that I have packed, unpacked, organized and labeled nearly everything within those four walls. That whole process has given me more ideas on ways to move different projects along or move them out.  I'm getting there.
