Clutter Control

| lots of binding ready for pressing February 2019 |
I often use the backing scraps to bind quilts. One nice thing about using the same backing fabric for several quilts is a LOT of strips for binding. The blue fabric strips in the photo will provide binding for at least two quilts. I press the strips in half and roll them on cardboard, so they are ready to attach when I receive quilts back from the longarmer.
The cutting table and pressing board are clutter-free, the fabric is all stored away, and I've started a new project.
Yes, mucking out the old makes way for the new:)
ReplyDeleteI love to work in an area that is all ship shape! Good job on the organizing front!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hate the cleaning up part...but I also hate to try to start working in an area that is a mess - lol. I need a maid! Looking forward to seeing your new project.
ReplyDeleteI just did a big clean up in my downstairs craft room and it took all day. I played as much as I sorted!
ReplyDeleteYour sewing room sounds like mine! Mine doubled as my work office, so I can't let it get too out of hand, but it's amazing how messy it can get in a short period of time. I usually have to do a clean up on Monday mornings before I can sit with my lap top to work. My weekends get very messy!
ReplyDeleteI can’t stand clutter when I’m trying to work. I like everything put away and in its place. Unfortunately, when the kids were small none of them felt the same. It always seemed I spent half of my time looking for supplies that we’re out of place. Congrats on getting everything back in order and ready to go.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Betsy
When can you come over and declutter me? Pack a big suitcase.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I need help getting myself organized again because I keep getting distracted when I tackle it. And the clutter is beginning to weigh on me again.
ReplyDeleteOver the last two weeks I’ve made some inroads on the stuff that mounds on my cutting table. I get bogged down thinking I need to cut into sizes — squares mostly. So I’ve grabbed some medium size gift/shopping bags and written color names on them. I was able to declutter a lot with just blue, white, green, red, yellow and black. Once I find more bags (orange, purple, brown come to mind) I’ll get more put away. And I’m actually delving deeply in the red bag for fabs for some improv blocks. Hopefully this will be a better solution then my two huge containers filled with all colors. ��
ReplyDeleteI don't like clutter either although I am responsible for most of it here. I try to declutter before bed. Fireman is the morning person and I like him to come down to a nice clean area. Im the evening person who clutters it all up
ReplyDeleteAmazing how fast things can get messed up, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI have to do that from time to time with my desk! Now you can sew up a storm again!
