ONE MORE SLEEP!! I leave for the quilting retreat tomorrow at Sunset Retreat! I am soooo excited! This is pretty much the only “cool” thing I’ll be doing to celebrate my birthday(at least until the fall when I can have a party), so you better believe I am going to enjoy every single moment and get as much out of it as I can!
Of course leaving for 4 days and making sure that I have more than enough projects to keep me busy is a big deal of its own. I have 2 for sure projects I want to accomplish over the weekend and then 2 others that I’d like to work on/get started on… these are also scrap busting projects.
As evidenced by the 6 bins over flowing with fabric… I really do need to do some major stashbusting! I’ve declared August my fabric stash busting month! I am hoping to get 4, yes FOUR quilt tops done this month 😀 A girl can dream right?
This was my view after I can home from VBS last night. I had planned on watching some friends play baseball after I got changed and rested a bit, but I got sucked into the vortex that is the disaster in my living room.
By the time that I was ready to go to bed I had sorted all the bins, folded all my yardage, decided what category the scraps fell into and had things semi organized! Go me! When I get back next week I’m going to iron fold all my scrap bits and get them their own little bin to live in. I love my scraps! But I am thinking of possibly having a destash sale on instagram… we’ll see 🙂
Right before I was ready to go to bed, I checked in the spare room/ craft room for any other fabric I had missed… I discovered this instead…
Looks like some sort of rodent decided that my vintage polyester fabrics would make a nice storage unit. Fortunately I am not attached to any of these fabrics and just trashed them. But I am a little worried about what I’ll find as I do a little more organizing and tidying before I leave! And even more worried about what I’ll find when I come back from being gone for 4 days! Oy Vey!
There is no way I could possibly keep up with all of that fabric. How do you do it? I'd get so forgetful, I wouldn't know if I was finding new ones or losing old ones, lol.
Who said I keep up? LOL! I'd definitely forgotten about at lest half of what I organized last night! I can't wait to get a shelf and make it all pretty 🙂
hahaha. i'm not sure why, but that makes me laugh. it's crazy but kind of cute at the same time.
omg hilarious! that's too funny 🙂
LOL! Ah yes, them darn squirrels LOL! I can send Max over…he keeps us pretty much squirrel free 🙂
Haha, that is too funny! Wow, I’m impressed that you can finish 2 or more projects over the weekend! Have a great time on your retreat,
Nikki

WOW! I thought my stash was big! I see lots of quilts in there waiting to be made. The idea of a squirrel in my fabrics would creep me out but it's funny at the same time. It makes a great story to remember every time you look at your project made with those materials. I LOVE that there are still young people out there that appreciate hand-made crafts! So many don't have time, no interest, being on their cells WAY TOO MUCH, and what ever reason….
Dang that's a lot of fabric girl! too funny though!
LMAO! Who knew squirrels preferred a cotton/poly blend? I'm honestly surprised that they didn't shred those fabrics, or poop all over.
How was it? what happened next? have you found it? wooooh well the Squirrel maybe amazed with your fabric scrap, I am wondering if you've finished your quilts.
