Whew! Why do ours weeks seem
so busy but progress seem so slow!?
It is getting on to spooky time so
I just had to share one of my
neighbor's answers to decorating!
( From the spooky movie IT)
Any way, we celebrated a late Canadian
thanksgiving yesterday with most of
the family. Lots of fun and food and baby
giggles.
I did have some time this week
to clean my machine. I
even took off the bottom!
It was definitely worth it .
There was lots of fluff and dust.
When I get stalled out , I do the only thing
possible an .. sort my pins!
I did the next reboot item...
I organized bobbins!
That helped with the recharge, so the
next morning I got out my batiks and
worked on some pineapple centers!
to keep organized.
The creative grids ruler makes
the pineapple doable for me.
So this week , I will focus on stripping
up the wealth of scraps I have piling up,
making some centers for
bright bits, and more organizing.
Upon reflection, I did
get a few items complete from last week!
1. Packing up 4 quilts for health care
workers. All done and shipped!
2. Prep a new project or 2 just for fun
Doing this now!
3. Finish up the last floral Final florals are complete!
4. This small top will get a scallop border after
quilting and already has three places to be!
It is making me fall back in love with
scrape white backgrounds! 👎
5. The corners did get mitered! This baby
quilt from left over blocks will get
a fuzzy blanket back and no scalloped edge.👎
6. Get that block chain pieced !👎
So, my mojo sewjo should be
back on track shortly!
Stay safe and sew on !

Why, you certainly did get things done this week. Isn't it amazing how quickly our sewing machines get fluff and dust deep within the inner workings of them. That pineapple trim tool looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteLove the spooky balloon from IT. I had my machine serviced a few months ago and I can only imagine how much fluff there was inside! Your organizing efforts look great. I need to get rid of a lot of dull pins from my most frequently used pincushion.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've been pretty busy. I know what you mean. I'm always busy but sometimes it feels that I haven't made any progress at all. And I love the spooky balloon too!
ReplyDeleteOverall, that sounds like a great week, Deb! Some finishes and TWO new starts? SEW much fun!!!
ReplyDeleteI think your plan to organize pins, bobbins etc makes a lot of sense when in the doldrums. May this week find you happily sewing away!
ReplyDeleteLOL on the IT balloon! :D I'm like you, when I need a reboot I organize. Does it for me every time. Thanks for sharing with To Do Tuesday! :)
ReplyDeleteYour organizing looks so neat. A clean machine always sews like a dream. Your batik blocks are looking good. I have never used that ruler. It makes very nice looking blocks. Thanks for linking up. Happy Scrappy Sewing ... :) Pat
ReplyDeleteThat spooky balloon is great! Organizing your sewing room is a chore but so worth it. Love the beginnings of your pineapple blocks. That ruler works like a charm, doesn't it? Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
