In the Year???


Another song reference there,  in the year 2025!

Only 500 years to get to 2525!

A scrap sewing morning recently uncovered

a long lost project.

Another found treasure from the sewing room!






These blocks and the book,

were in a project box labeled 

"strings and some squares".

I guess I was being only 

descriptive when I labeled that box.

My best buddy and I figured out this quilt project

is about 10 years old.

So I cleared off the design wall 

and started laying it out.



It will need a few more blocks,

all around finish up.


There will also need to be

setting triangles on the outside

edges to square it up.

I spent a pleasant evening,

stripping up some ocean blues and greens,

and will enjoy a cozy time inside

sewing up the four patches.




No actual sea glass will be used in the creation of this top!

Stay safe and sew on.

Once a Day Thing

 Many moons ago, I actually trod the stage 

in a high school musical.  One of the songs 

that sticks in my head was the , " Once a year day". 


Well, I think I may switch that up and try the once

a day , (more like a vitamin than a classic musical) 

and aim to remove one thing a day from my 

sewing room. That could be called forced Marie Kondoing? 

I didn't want to do the annual decluttering with 

"Just Get It Done Quilts" this year. 

I seem to be piling up rather than moving out.

 I would like to challenge myself to get clearing 

so I have more room to function. 

My rehoming box is in my work room 

and currently it looks like this!


There is a really good bag I can't bare to get rid of, 


some thread storage and a few patterns too!


I already see a few things that could be transported to another's

sewing or craft area! Who needs two identical hole punches?

I also have a neck light that has been used rarely and could be 

appreciated deeply by an applique wizard I know.

If I add this to my daily sewing room visits, I might find a 

routine way to help me tidy and decrease the weight of my

possessions. Please note, no fabric will be harmed in this

 undertaking!

Let's see where it leads.

 I have a friend who brutally rehomed

a number of items according to the calendar date!

 Very minimalist!

Too difficult for me to attempt! 

Happy Decluttering!
