Back to the basement for more cleaning and organizing. The next thing in line on the workbench was the box of Christmas fabric. I will be going through this and pulling out the few pieces I might need for future Christmas stockings or other small projects. I will sell the rest.
A little farther down the line I found a bag of scraps of Christmas fabric so it got added to the box.
On top of the box were *9* Christmas stocking patterns. Two were paper which were immediately added to the recycle pile and there are some duplicates which I'll eliminate too. All of the rest are cardboard or template plastic.
Do you remember when this brand of potato chips came in bags inside a cardboard box? Also every August there was a 'back to school' pencil in the box. I'll have to keep this pattern for nostalgic reasons.
Now I have the first 9' of a 15' 9" workbench cleaned. I have one more of the green boxes that will go in the empty slot on the right.
In the lower 2 shelves are: top shelf - long strips leftover from backings, all labeled with size and sorted by regular prints, Kaffe, and batik, and bottom shelf - heavier weight fabrics for tote bags, etc.
The crate and the green canvas box on top of it are going to be removed, and when I have a helper, this box will be emptied and hoisted into that slot, and then refilled with my long cutting dies.
The Christmas fabrics that I'm keeping will go into the top right green box, which is empty right now, and the bin they are in will join my other empty bins.
I have a goal of trying to match all of the extra lids with their boxes as I find them. Right now I have 5 extra lids and one box that I can't find the matching lid.
After my visit to my tomato plants, I came around to the front of my house for another photo of my new table and pots. The geranium has a bunch of new buds so there will be some bright color in a few days.

I love the flower quilt. It is inspiring me to make one. Your flowers on the new table are beautiful!
Getting the long dies up on your table will be so nice…..easy to flip through, take out to use and much easier to put back. Wow! Your flowers are doing spectacular by your front door! Might need to watch out that the don’t take over the whole porch, 😂
Your table display is spectacular! Keeping the right lids with their tubs is a never ending struggle in my kitchen.
You are making really good progress on cleaning up that workbench! The fussy cut blooms are very pretty. The flowers on the front porch are fabulous and have grown so much! Wow!
What a FUN post today as you worked through organizing it all. Enjoyed your big blossom blocks ~ Christmas fabrics and sock patterns ~ oh yes, I remember ‘Jays’ potato chips 😋 and to end up with a great look to your work benches and best of all your new table filled with glorious blossoming plants at your front door !
I'm sure you'll get a lot more organizing done on this rainy day. The floral squares are bold and beautiful. Did you know that Jay's were originally called Jap's? Then came WWII. I bought a big Jay's tin (empty!) at an estate sale a couple of years ago -- so old the address had a zone, not a zip code.
