Basting and sorting............


I finished basting the African colorwash wallhanging but didn't start the ditch quilting yet.  I have to clean off the top of my cabinet so I can quilt it with my Pfaff.

I'm back to finish sorting the light batik fabrics that were on 2 shelves that I showed a few days ago.  Most of these are quite large prints or multicolor or dark cream background colors.


Here is a look farther down this stack.  I need to pull out any I think I will never use and restack ones that can be used together.

I cut straggly tree branches yesterday and watered all of my pots of flowers.  Also did a load of laundry.  Not a very exciting day to write about.

My stash is looking more manageable today--I only have blacks, browns and solid white backgrounds with scattered prints (don't even ask why I separate those!!?) to go through. But i will keep most of those, I think as I don't have many to begin with in those colors. Tiring work for me...I would love to start re-arranging my room, but I cannot be moving things right now--

[DH is going to try his luck replacing our kitchen faucet--plumbing is not a usual thing for him--I am keeping mum and seeing what happens :))))]
We may end up doing take out tonight, ya think? hahaha
Hugs, Julierose

some days I'm lucky to get in a little piecing - I almost always quilt in the evening though while watching/listening to a show or two. sorting fabric can be tiring I think

You have such a fabulous stash of light batiks! It is good to go thru them every once in a while. I know I forget sometimes what I have!

I agree with your thought to remove the ones you don’t think you will ever use. Makes it easier to see what you might use.

I'm curious how you decide a fabric is something that you'll never use. Is it just something you don't like? Something that you can't picture with other fabrics? Something else?
