Wall of Fabric


A little cheeriness on a partly cloudy day:
Prairie Quilt Guild's 2014 Block of the Month
"Inspiration at Dusk" - my blocks so far.

Here's my Wall of Fabric pictures:


What was lacking the most in my sewing room was fabric and project organization. This is the wall just as you walk into the room completely taken up by two heavy duty wire shelf units. 

We already had one of the racks but it wasn't being used much so I claimed it. I purchased another rack and more of the Artbin containers. I usually buy them at JoAnn's but found a good deal on the internet this time. 

On the end nearest the door, I've hung most of my tote bags from "S" hooks. My husband thinks I have too many tote bags. I'm always looking for a bag to transport quilts so totes call my name!  

I couldn't back up far enough to get both racks and the tote bags in the picture so here's another view. Almost everything has been sorted into containers. Each project has its own container, fabric has been sorted by color or type and my current or most used patterns, magazines and books are together.
 
I still have some organization to do and decisions to make about this wall but its been really nice to be able to find what I need when I need it!

Until next time, Mayleen

Now Blooming in my Sewing Room

Its a little early for the kind of cold weather we're having! Saturday we might even get some snow! I'm trying to look forward to it! It's not working. The only thing that excites me about really cold weather is that its perfect weather for quilting!

So because everything outside is frozen and my houseplants have been put in rooms where cats cannot find them, I'm working on flower quilting projects this week.

Prairie Quilt Guild's BOM - "Where Inspiration Blooms", block #2
You're right, no one else will have a quilt like mine! Unless I change my mind, my quilt's name will be "Inspiration at Dusk".

I have no idea what the next flower block looks like but I have plans for its leaves. This is looking just a little too tidy to me!

And now for the traditional side of me, I'm making the next ring of hexagon rosettes for my version of the Ann Ruggle hexagon quilt. The rosettes alternate between that yellowish green color and light pink. I'm using mostly Jo Morton fabrics from my stash but adding other fabrics too. 

Stay warm and enjoy Quilting Season!

Until next time, Mayleen
