Putting Order to My Sewing Projects

posted in sewing |

I went into my sewing room this morning for the first time in several weeks. For 2 of those weeks, I was away from home and this past week, I’ve been attempting to get caught up on other household chores before going back to my sewing.

I need to organize my projects in an orderly fashion. I think I will put them in order of which ones I want to work on first.

I’ve decided that I have one tote bag project to create and then I think I may step back from the bag sewing for a little while. I have several other projects that I’m itching to work on. One of those is my block of the month quilt. I have completed 1 block of the 6 I currently have and am almost done with the second. I have 2 more blocks to pick up at the quilt store, so I believe that gives me 6 that I need to do and then I will be caught up.

While I was on vacation I purchased the fabric and pattern to make a wall hanging. It is quilted and has applique, but I think it’s a project I can do. My aunt and mom helped me choose all of the fabrics at a quilt shop in Bull’s Gap, Tennessee. We had fun doing that together!

I also have a Christmas quilt that involves machine embroidery. That will be the first time I’ve ever done a project like that and I’m looking forward to it. The quilt is a snowy white and the embroidery is all done in red. I can’t wait to get started!

I have a couple of other small quilt project waiting as well. Boy, for a non-quilter, I have an awful lot of quilt projects lined up waiting to be done!

What are you working on?

I haven’t doing much of anything lately. lol But I have been getting ready with my jewelry for two craft fairs and a moving sale. So we will see how things go.

I’m almost ashamed to say that I haven’t sewn since November. Got out of it and for some reason just can’t seem to get back in the groove. lol

Kim - I want to try doing some craft fairs, but I really don’t know where to begin. I think I’m just feeling like doing some creating for my own personal use right now!

I am a one project at a time kind of girl. I would love to have a knitting/reading/blogging room. It would have a very comfortable chair, good lighting and a TV and a laptop.

Right now I am kitting a market bag using an entrelca technique. I will have to felt it after I knit it. My next project is knitting up mittens.

carol’s last blog post..49 and Counting!

Nissa - It’s hard to get back into the swing of things after an absence. Just when I start to feel that I’m catching up, something else gets in the way!

Carol - Wow! I’d love to see photos of your current knitting project! I never could conquer knitting. I tend to also work on one project at a time, but I can’t stop myself from buying more projects before I’m finished!
