Take inventory...!

I am reminded to have a good hard look at my studio, and who am I kidding. In how many life times do I think that I will get all this beautiful fabric sewn up into quilts. I shall commit right here and right now that there is a 4 month ban on fabric purchases, with the only exception to be the fireside backing required for Devin's quilt. Making it manageable chunks of 4 months at a time is more achievable than anything longer.

Devin's Spidey quilt

Because if I don't sew it up, how much will it sell for in the great-here-after garage sale? Better that my granchildren and friends have quilts to remember me by, than the work of cleaning out my studio!

Also my buttons, while they are love conversation pieces, I have got to get those incorporated into some are pieces. I have a (what I think) is a fabulous idea to do with my mother of pearl and best red and pink glass buttons. Good friend Wanda Cracknell and I have put our creative heads together and I am sure it is going to be delightful. Well that will take care of 200 buttons, now what about the other 2000.

Just enough Black

I am conflicted. I do want to participate in the Rainbow scrap challenge over at SoScrappy, but my choice of rainbow scrap participation block is the Sprouts. All fun in the sun colours that you would find in any garden.

So my little bit of black used to encircle the spidey-webs in this Quiltville pattern shared by Bonnie Hunter, is my contribution to "Black is for October". The scrappiness of these spidey-webs more that makes up for the lack of adherance to the rainbow challenge rules.

This project goes a long way to cleaning off the table and clearing out the bins and baskets at my elbow...I say this outloud because somehow that will make it true!

Check out what other scrappiness is going on over at SoScrappy...here.
