Fabric Organization is PIC 29

by 3 Comments

Picture of the Day #29 is how I’m reorganizing all my yardage fabric.

I have more fabric than I’d care to admit and organizing it has become a thorn in my side!!

I want it to look pretty on my Ikea shelves, but it does not!

I did some research several months back and  one lady had an awesome system … but  the product she was using required cutting and something else … can’t remember why I moved on.

So, fast forward to yesterday … I reorganized one side of my stamping studio and that made me think about my fabric again.   All the pre-cuts (jelly rolls, layer cakes, charm packs, honey buns, jolly bars, stackers, etc) look pretty on my shelf … yardage does not.  I happened upon a system just like what I saw several months ago … but this time it’s cheaper and there’s no cutting involved.

I can’t wait to get all my yardage done!!!  I have a feeling when I get the supplies to do it I may be pulling a couple all nighters!!

I’ll share all my fabric, the product I ordered and my shelves when I’m done.  I may or may not take a before and after picture. (I’m kinda embarrassed it’s gotten so out of control!!!)

Have a good night!

 

Picture of the Day #28

My Picture of the Day #28 is of the fabric I’m going to use for my next Quilt Along.

Ambleside (one of my most favorite) and a White Moda Jelly Roll.

I ask the members of my Chic n Scratch Quilt Along Facebook Group “what quilt would they suggest I make for the next quilt along” and one of them suggested the Log Cabin.

I Googled it this morning and holy cow … there’s a lot of pictures and patterns on a log cabin quilt!!   The first one started with a 2-1/2 block … another one started with a 4″ block (or was it 4.5?).

Here’s the plan … I’m going to make one real quick  and when I’ve mastered it… I’ll start the Quilt Along. I do have a few concerns … the block is crazy busy for my style … but I’m thinking with the right fabric I can handle it.   We shall see 🙂   The scary thing is … what if this one looks fantastic when I finish it and then the fabric I choose for the next one does not :O

Good night!

I’m super excited to share Picture of the Day #27!!

I ordered some new fabric and it arrived yesterday … the one I’m sharing with you is so darling!!! I’m in love with it and  I’m ordering more, asap (like the minute I finish this blog post)!!

The fabric on the bottom is:

The stack on top is:

I have a feeling I’m going to start a quilt this weekend!  I’m looking for a new one for my Quilt Alongs and this is going to be my test fabric.

Next subject … I’m happy to report that my headache (and the headache hangover) is gone!  As I expected it was from my diet … when I checked in today they said it was not uncommon and that I’ve made it through the worst of it 🙂   At my weigh-in I lost 5.1 pounds, yay!!  I told the lady that I never felt hunger pains because of the headaches.  She assured me this next week will be much easier.

Have a great night!

p.s. Hey Lesa, if you’re reading this … the bunnies on the fabric reminds me of the darling little shrinky dinks you sent me 🙂

Picture of the Day #26

Okay…. don’t laugh but Picture of the Day #26 is of my breakfast.

It’s one real egg and 3 egg whites (the kind in the carton).

I have good news… as of about 7pm  my headache let up.  But I have that headache hangover for sure!  Last night was so bad, I was up pretty much all night.  If I wake up tomorrow without it … it will be the first morning since Monday.

See ya tomorrow!
