Happy Easter!
Spring is here.....maybe. At least my daffodils are in bloom.
Actually, the weather hasn't really been very Springlike here on Long Island except for a very few sunny days. Most days have been cloudy and cool with a high temperature in the low 50s.
I have been working a lot in my basement. I am still organizing my fabrics and I have started gathering some of my mother's fabrics from her home also. I have already gathered all of the projects that she was working on at one time. I want to make sure I place the extra fabric and scraps with each project. Any fabrics that don't go with a project are being added to my stash. This is what my craft/fabric cabinet looks like at the moment.
I also bought this bag to hold my fat quarters. I may need another sometime, but it works for what I now have. I do have to refold all of my fat quarters though to fit in this bag.
I am trying to steadily work on my daughter's quilt. I still have a long way to go. I am in the midst of blocks 72-81 at the current time. I just have to finish all the y-seems on these. This photo was taken before I added the final log to these blocks.
My granddaughter's stocking has been getting some attention. There are 93 steps and I have completed 7. Often you complete more than 1 step at a time when you add a motif. The two trees were 5 steps altogether.
The bib is progressing more slowly than I want. I haven't been getting much done when visiting my mom. Hopefully I can finish it this coming week.
I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. Pop on over to her site to see what other bloggers are stitching.
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Easter , have a lovely day .
ReplyDeleteGreat stitching and lovely quilt .
I need some time from some where to tidy my bits up.
Enjoy your Day.
What a cute bib! The trees on the stocking are very festive with the sequins. The log cabin quilt is progressing nicely. Aren’t you glad you are retired so you have more time for all your projects? I need to do some organizing in my sewing room. Happy Easter! Gail at the Cozy Quilter
ReplyDeleteThe fabric gabinet looks pretty well organized, Cathy. The stocking is so cute and that sweet bib is adorable. Happy Easter!!
ReplyDeleteHey Cathie... you have been soooo productive!!! And so creative... LOVE your header too! I store my fabrics vertical too!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed Easter my friend!
Kathi
so much organizing when going through fabric. You have a lot of projects going
ReplyDeletePretty daffodils! Your fabric storage looks well-organized, too. I should be working on that myself! That's a cute little design on the bib - enjoy your stitching today, and Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteThat sweet bib always makes me smile. You are busy organising your basement; some lovely bolts of fabric there. I do love an organised space with all my sewing paraphernalia. Of course, I'm very good at making it less organised. =) I hope you enjoy a wonderful Easter meal with your husband and mother-in-law. Happy Easter to you, dear Cathie.
