Waning Summer and a Re-Store Task

Another alfresco breakfast....Saturday morning...but, honestly, it was so cold I had to wear my down vest.  But I'm going to enjoy outdoor breakfasts while I can.

The other big task I tackled was.....

...ironing (again) and refolding fabric, and putting it on shelves like books.  That fabric used to occupy more than one and a half shelves.  I folded them around sheets of high quality card stock--for the longer pieces I used two to four sheets as the base.  I think this will work.  One of my on-line groups have been exploring options for stash storage.  Actually, this isn't exactly stash--it's for quilts that are already planned.  (I do have plenty of stash--and I ironed and folded some of those pieces today.)

The antique sewing machines on the upper shelf aren't yet ready for sewing--they need more cleaning, and needles, which I haven't yet ordered.

What is it about blue and yellow quilts--they're a bit like potato chips--can't have just one, and the process of making one is so joyous!

I also worked on layering the pink/white/etc. quilt I put together on Labor Day.  I'd mismeasured and/or mislabeled the batting and it was too short---so, since it's purpose was just to use up those blocks and become a quilt instead of blocks stuffed in a box, I added some batting that I'd cut off the edge of another quilt.  I took pictures of that process so I could post about that in a couple of days.

Happy quiltmaking.....
