it was the shed's birthday this weekend with a gathering of some faithful at the down under headquarters. i was able to join in and catch up with fearless leader and others to ooh and ahh over a variety of world-wide projects.
without further delay, here is the june challenge from my list...
10. tidy the stash shelves...a one-day project that will go a long way to assessing what's on hand and corral wanderers
so here's what it looked like in january....and, confession here, couldn't wait until the challenge to create order out of this chaos. pieces were flung everywhere and finding something i knew was there nearly impossible. it's in my bedroom and was the annoying first view every morning when awakening.
isn't that better? and yes that is the wall you see behind....so stashbusting is in full force here at happy village....plus i sleep a lot better too.
more inspiration....someone brought in a stack of mags yesterday and saw this....
new issue of Ameican Quilter, a quilt by kimberly einmo with roos! the down under peeps loved it and so do i, well the roos anyway. little gray cells percolating thinking about yes, a new project with these adorable creatures....chooky says they are cute until they run into your car...not unlike the maine moose i'll wager.
it's my turn as reigning queen of the stashbusters so this has come my way for an all-too-brief week....
actually it's a blingy badge of failure for not having a UFO finish when my name hit the top of the participant's list...just couldn't be helped this time around but long hot summer ahead so not for long. off to tackle the weekend to do list!
Great tidy up session. Love the new pattern.
ReplyDeleteI love the Kangaroos and your shelves look great and ready for a new project.
ReplyDeleteSorry I wasn't able to get on the Zoom in time to spend a moment or two visiting with you. Nice job tidying the stash! Isn't it amazing what can disturb your sleep, even though your eyes are closed, just because you know it is there?
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, love the Roos in the pattern. Can't wait to see what you conjure up for them.
What a blingy badge of failure. Could be mistaken for an honor, if you didn't know. ;)
It is always a nice day on zoom. I had to miss last week because I was at a retreat and then a birthday party and driving.
ReplyDeleteLovely that you earned the crown this week!! Online quilt groups and friends are so fun!
The roo project is so cute! It would be a perfect choice for scraps.
always great to have you join the Chookshed Stitchers online.........its always a great time to chat and catch up......and make some sewing progress..........good to see the shelf sorted out...........and I spy the Liberty bag.......
