WOW! I can't believe it. It's the last day of September. What am I doing on the last day of September? I started to tackle my sewing room. It won't get all done today but I did make progress. Before that, however, I changed out one of my wall hangings. It's hard to see but I also used one of my zipper quilt wall hanging as a dresser scarf. George was complaining that he missed his jungle friends so I put the jungle themed zipper quilt wall hanging on the dresser so he could chat with his friends.
Once that was done, I pulled out my fabric from the shelves on the left side of the sewing room and reorganized them. By reorganized I mean I made it look neater. They aren't grouped by color any longer. Now it is more of what size they are. I doubt that will work any better for me but for now it will suffice. This way I can see some of the "larger" pieces of fabric. I have some backings I need to do and I didn't think I had too many pieces of fabric that are 2 yard or more. Most of my fabric is either 1 yard or fat quarter. Now I'm finding that I'm doing larger quilt wall hanging, etc. and need more fabric for the back. Still it looks neater and it was good to go through the fabric. I had some fabric I had forgotten about and some which I am donating because I don't want it any longer, etc. Overall I thought it was about time that I went through it again. I even have one "box" in the shelf for my Ghana fabric. Hopefully I will eventually have all myfabric where I can see it and not have to "dig" into storage containers to find it. I think I will be able to do that in a year or two.
I found a fabric which I forgot I had. I had disected a wall hanging that Mom had given me. It didn't have any batting in it. After taking it apart, I am thinking that I will use it as a table cloth. It is red and white so it will fit in with the Christmas themed time of the year. I'm actually going through my white scraps and will be ewing together scraps to do the back. It will sort of Frankenstein effect but that just means I can use it at Halloween, right? LOL. I won't be doing batting on it either. It doesn't need it since it will only be a table cloth. I'll take a picture of it when I'm done.
I did find more projects that are so close to being finished that I pulled them out also. Those will be the ones that I will wok on first in 2021. Wish me luck. In the meantime,

"Good luck" your shelves look great from here. Mine are a mess. But at almost 81 I guess I am lucky to get any thing done. Working on a Halloween quilt for my oldest granddaughter. She was going to come make it this summer but she never found time. So I decided to just put it together for her. Just in time for Halloween. Keep up the good work. Hugs and prayers. E
It looks great, all tidy and can lorfil!
Or for those who look down as they are typing, "colorful.". "Can lorfil" is lorax dialect...
Hey old friend!
Guess who retired today.
Glad to see you thriving down south; wish you all the best from me and my family.
You're sewing room is coming along nicely. It might take awhile to get it just how you want it, then you'll change it again. At least that is what I do. LOL
GREAT JOB!
