I did all the straight line quilting on my block quilt from AGES ago. I need to wait for some thread to arrive before I can do the free motion quilting. I decided I was going to quilt it in a gajillion different colors.
THEN something awful happened. When I was snipping a thread, I cut into my backing fabric!
I wanted to darn it the best I could, but I can't find the clip! It's tiny, but I know the washing machine will find it...
So now I just have to wait for it to fray in the wash so I can find it and do my best to repair it.
I can't believe I did that. Such a stupid mistake...
And then today I did my best to clean my sewing room. I don't know why it always looks like a bomb went off in there, but I did my best to straighten everything out. I need to use up a bit of fabric- I'm running out of storage space. Hopefully I will be able to make another dress this week, so that will use up some yardage.
The hardest thing for me is throwing out scraps. I keep a lot of the quilting scraps, but the garment scraps- although it seems wasteful, I will never use.

I need to go through all my fabric. I don't want to. Back when WalMart carried fabric... and they had the $1/yd shelves... I would buy it up. I have 5 yards of a beautiful purple stretchy something and 5 yrs of the same stuff in blue. I bought these without purpose, but throught that SURELY I will use this for something, and only for $5!!!
