There were 2 project boxes full of Kaffe collective scraps plus a pile I had collected in the basement. This is a 12" x 12" project box opened, with strips in the left side. On the lid on the right is a bag of scraps large enough to cut 2.5" squares, a bag of tiny scraps, and a bag of scraps with a seam, cut offs from projects. I have no interest in working with these. I have too much yardage calling my name right now. The good news though is that it is sorted and hopefully I can keep the groups separated.
Last Friday I had shown a group of these magazines with work by Shirley Nilsson and Tuesday this week I found I had a book by Shirley Nilsson in a pile under the workbench. The magazines will go to recycling but I think I'll keep the book.
I checked the tomato and cucumber plants yesterday afternoon and they definitely needed to be watered. Storms were predicted but it didn't look too likely we would get the rain. I decided to wait and see anyway and thunderstorms rolled through starting around 9. The electricity went off for a few seconds around 10:30. It was a long line of small storms one after another. More rain predicted this afternoon.
it's a job to keep the scraps to a minimum....
ReplyDeleteGosh, do you have a local maker space or even a library you could donate the magazines to? It seems like they would be a treasure for someone!

I find keeping scraps separated into useable groupings quite a challenge. In the midst of making a project I usually stuff scraps into a baggy----the problem that results for me is then going back and sorting them out. Good you are getting everything set for your future projects...lots of nice KF strips there;)))
ReplyDelete87 degrees with 78 dewpoint and "feels like" 100.8 at 9:30 am here today!! This is slated to be the hottest of the hot days we've been enduring.
Still no sewing going on here, but i did unearth a quilting book to
re-read and think about...Stay cool as you can--hugs, Julierose ;)))
I have a couple of ways to store scraps and when I think about how to streamline the process it makes my head hurt so I think about something else. I'll bet someone would buy those scraps from you when you next have a sale.
ReplyDeleteI was fasciated with “Stitching Free” easy machine stitching… cover of the book . Shirley created a stunning picture with every stitch on her machine. I couldn’t believe the detail she stitched, absolutely amazing… I had to put photo in ‘my photo’s, to study from time to time.
ReplyDeleteI've got so many boxes of little squares and strips I wonder if I will ever use them?
