Stitchin' Weekend

I was reading That Girl That Quilt blog and saw she was sharing a tutorial or project that could be completed on a weekend. I liked that and even though I said this would be a year of "not joining" I decided that I would check this out. I decided to try her method of making HST's and this is what I ended up with:

It is made from Thimbleberries scraps and it is ready to be quilted. It is about 50" long and I will put it sideways across my dining table as it is too short to go lengthways.  I got this all done yesterday afternoon.

Then this morning I decided I need to do something about this creative mess...

I am working on that this afternoon. I realized yesterday that the Thimbleberries fabric I have had for many years is no longer to my taste, so I am going to enter it into the general scrap population- it no longer needs to be in it's own container.

This is a lot of Thimbleberries and I will use it for scrap quilts and quilt backs. Nothing wrong with it, just not what I like any more.

I do like to tidy up after each project but sometimes the lines blur when I have more than one thing on the go.

I might even get to vacuuming my sewing room today.
