Subject: RE: Summer Declutter & Fitness - AUGUST '13
I have added to the clutter today. I went fabric shopping and got enough fabric to make 2 bags, an applique/quilted table runner (with chickens...couldn't help myself..it's too darned cute) and an absolutely GORGEOUS batik jellyroll and a yard and a half of a border that is just going to make it POP. I'm going to do a little something new with it just to kick it up a notch. Then, some not so quality fabric but rather retro fun...think oranges, aqua blue and browns with a print of old sewing machines and sewing pin tomatoes, etc. I think I might make a disappearing 4 patch lap quilt with it. We shall see. I'd like to get comfortable enough with smaller projects like that as I have some people in nursing homes who I think would love a lightweight, hand tied lap quilt. :)

Dishes and laundry are up to date. I scrubbed the bathroom floor yesterday, cleaned out the car and did some grocery shopping. I also attended the open house for the new quilting studio and got to try my hand on the long arm....oh my....something new to dream about!!!
