……I’ve been asking myself is what do I really want to work on. The answer is some improv, some liberated piecing, using my vast collection of thrifted shirts, and a few projects I’ve had in mind for years.
Given these answers, I’ve decided that while I enjoy cutting up leftover fabrics for the scraps user’s system à la Bonnie Hunter, I don’t really want to sew with them. I’ve offered this 5 1/2” high stack of 3 1/2” squares to friend who does sewing for charity. Similar to giving my batting cutoffs to Jan, they are used, just not by me 😉😉.
I have a love of re-using containers and found the perfect almond windmill cookies container to put the squares in for packing.
Along the same lines, Patty said she was going to order more white flannel for the thread beds she makes. That reminded me I bought extra wide white flannel for a design wall when I first moved to PA but I’ve been using flannel backed table cloths. I like them as I can easily roll it up to preserve what is on it and put up another one which means I never used the flannel.
Letting go of things that, realistically, I will never use will help me focus on the projects I most want to make but seem to take a backseat. That’s the plan, anyway.
Cheers, Cherie
