| Stanley Park - isn't it pretty? Sure wish MY gardens looked this lovely - or really, this extensive! |
 |
| My Widget kitty - otherwise known as Mr. Wuss, Mr. Scared and Run Away kitty - because that is what he does when anyone else other than me is around! Actually he is a sweetie and a lovey bug and just loves to be held and gently hugged! This is his favorite spot - underneath my sewing machine desk! |

 |
| Baby quilt #1 - back needs to be extended THEN quilted - easy peasy quilting! |

| Need more batting - I THINK it will be easy peasy quilting |
 |
| Eons old swap - will work on this on right after the machine quilting! |
 |
| Alycia's Big Block Drive - This is for week 1 - except 1 of these is still in the machine! I want to get 10 more this week - maybe same pattern - maybe just all blues for half and the red and white stripes for other half - no starred fabric. We'll see |

| Judy's medallion quilt - I need to make sure # 5 is the correct size then will do #6 which will add to all sides of this medallion |
 |
| Hexies - I have some definite waiting time this week - so will be working on this! |
 |

 |
| Big Blocks for Big Block Drive (Alycia's QOV Big Block Drive) - FIRST installment! Needs only one more stripe on 3 of them and trimming for them to be done - would then be 12 instead of 10 (either short term memory is shot! or I can't count!) Aaack! That would be 9 instead of the 12 I mentioned - and for sure I can't count! (Personally I was a LOT happier when I thought I would have 12 ready!) |

 |
| Sampler blocks to be completed and sent |
 |
| Big Bird - can have other pieces added to him - sort of a crazy quilt that will probably drive ME crazy before it's done! |
 |
| Reds used for Bowdacious Four Patch. This is my leader-ender. I am not sure whether I have enough 4 patches or not - Wendy and I have been doing swaps back and forth -= and she has done a humongous bunch of them! |
 |
| Sorry about the sideways view! Cabinet is made up of 2 smaller 3 drawer cabinets stacked one on top of the other and is used for strips - 3.5, 2.5, 2.0, 1.5, 1.0. Strips in each drawer (sized by width) are divided into light and dark. |
 |
 |
| Another 2 sideways views! Sorry! We will ignore the mending (to the left of the strip cabinet and right of the shelving!). Shelving is 6' tall, 30" deep, and each shelving unit is approximately 4 - 5 foot wide. Yardage is subdivided by main color, refolded so it will stack uniformly - that is on the LEFT side of each shelf. On the right is yardage that I use for sewing (IF and WHEN I get around to it!) and it is mostly just folded! Plastic bins hold FQ of that color. Repros share the shelf with the browns and beiges, with homespun, holiday, patriotic fabrics below that on the left and flannels on the right. On the very top of the shelves I keep holiday ornaments, keepsake storage, trims - each in its own bins and labeled. |
 |
| Here you can get a better idea of the blues shelf. Below that are the orange and yellow fabrics and FQs, as well as the black and gray fabrics and FQs and yardage for sewing. Bins for block units (3.5, 2.5, 2.0, 1.5 - light and dark sit on top of the FQ bins. |
 |
| Cutting table has my magazine holder which I use to hold patterns as well as non-hangable plastic templates. The green thing lieing flat on the table is an old 3-drawer cabinet lid that I re-purposed with the addition of felt fabric and packing tape into a mini-design wall. It works. |
 |
| This closet is actually only 9 - 12 inches deep - so I use it for plastic template rulers (hangable), storage (above) and as a place to store my machine cart-a-long. |
 |
| Even my door gets used a lot! Here I hang my most used rulers as well as a listing of my UFOs, machine threading instructions, and a copy of my to-do list |
 |
| My machine desk - complete with the strips I have GOT to turn into 4 patches this week and send on their way. Flimsies sit in bins under the desk on the left (blond spot is my Widget kitty!) In the black bag is my son and dil's wedding quilt which I need to do the final quilting and binding on - they celebrated their first anniversary last Saturday. |
 |
| More UFOs (other ufos on bottom shelves of the big fabric shelves). Also books. Small drawers are for sewing tools - ie, measuring tapes, scissors and slicers, etc. Videos were gifted to me by a friend who knew I liked to watch quilting movies. |
 |
| My work basket - is supposed to have ONLY the things in it that actually are on the design wall for the week. Supposedly! |
