Happy New Year everyone!
A few things to begin the year:
A few things to begin the year:
- Blogger changes have begun. You might check your dashboard list of blogs.....some may have disappeared. You may not be getting the latest posts from your favorites. I found a few I had to "re-follow". And some may have "lost" me. I notified Blogger, but no word back yet from them.
- Now is a good time to clean your rotary cutting mat......give it a soak in the bath tub and gently clean off the fuzz.
- Change rotary cutter blades.
- Clean your machine and give it a new needle.
Every year I promise myself to get organized......good intentions need some inspiration.
Fabric storage...... I found a few ways to storage fabric vertically, if you have wall space.
From the Thinking Closet: Letter/mail sorter idea for fat quarters. There are several ideas in this post, including closet, shelves, filing cabinet.
From Dwell Delightfully: A re-purposed side rail of a baby crib! I love seeing items re-used in different ways and this one is perfect for holding fabrics, or projects to be completed. Much better than being stacked on a table or in the closet. She has instructions on removing the hardware and finishing the ends. Of course, a handy husband or son could just create something similar. Just saying!
Quilt storage....from Robinson's Woodcrafts. This nifty display rack can be custom made to display and store your finished quilts. Or it would work to hold those flimsy tops waiting to be quilted! I have a similar one in my sewing room---with only one pole---for a display piece. I like the staggered design of this one.
I ran across this at 44th Street fabric. It's good to remind ourselves of the investment we make in fabric, notions, and such. Thought I would just pass it on.

Wishing you all a bright and fabric filled new year. Happy stitching.
