What's Happening!

I have been busy since last Wednesday.  I have been sewing and cleaning.  Equal amounts of both for a change.  Usually sewing wins out over cleaning.  Got some floors scrubbed and fridges cleaned. The humidity has been killer,  so I  spent lots of time sewing in the cool basement.
I cut out the fabric to make 48 - 12 1/2" blocks for the quilt I am making for my son.  I have the blocks all made and three of eight rows of six blocks in each row ,sewn together   Here's a little peek...  I will have the top completed in a few days and then on to getting it quilted.



I also started to tidy my fabric shelves.  The shelves are where I keep my fabric that is cut across the width.  I usually keep it tidy to a point but it had gotten out of control so I took everything out that didnt belong....fat quarters, scraps etc.  I folded all the yardage on my 24 x 6 inch ruler so everything folds up the same size.  Here is what my light/whites/beiges shelf looks like now.  So nice to see what I have...or don't have is more like it!   Still have several more shelves to make look pretty! 

I am linking up with The Needle and Thread Network for WIP Wednesday.  Stop by and check out the wonderful creations.

    I'm so glad we have central air. I don't notice the humidity unless I stick my head out the door. The quilt is looking good. You seem to have a lot of whites and lights.

    seems when one goes through a creative streak everything gets disorganized! I have spent the last three months sewing sewing sewing and my shelves are a maelstrom of fabric...Soon, perhaps I will get to organizing again...

    I really like when things have been tied up...very satisfying and I usually find things I've forgotten about:)

    Wow! VERY impressive. I did organize my fabrics the other day but don't have anywhere to put them except into nice plastic boxes. This looks so pretty. Enjoy!

    Your shelves look really nice, you'll have no trouble finding what you need.
    I am really impressed by anyone that can clean rather than quilt or garden....
