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.
