Excitement abounds!!!!!!!


Lucky is very helpful!!  He wanted to be first, and indeed, he is first.




I embarked on a project to organize all of my scraps into colors, and fold them, if large enough to be folded, into a dresser.  I got a NEW dresser!!!  Odd to think I have never had a brand new dresser, but I recently got one for my birthday.  I am using it to store almost all of my fabrics.  Above are my yellows and teals.




Oranges and purples!!  I put a file folder in-between the colors.  
Scraps that were too small to be folded were placed into bags, by color.  This will be perfect for Rainbow quilts, and I have so many quilts planned to use these!!! 

I have touched almost every fabric I own.  Every gifted scrap and piece of lovely quilting goodness!!! It was so much fun!!  And now I have blacks, grays, oranges, teals, pinks, blue, reds and greens all separate and ready to go.  I emptied several small bins, which were getting heavier as time is going on.  Hurrah!!


Now this does not include my 1930's fabrics, of which I have a small bin.  Nor my plaids, nor my reproduction fabrics, of which I have a bin of those too.  But!!!  This is vast majority of everything I own, at my fingertips for use!!


Whoop!!

I found a few fabrics that were downright unsuitable, due to being polyester double knit or just downright ugly.  Out they went.




I got going on pumpkins, due to orange pumpkin fabrics gifted from a friend.  I will have to work on a setting.




These are my 6 inch rainbow blocks so far this year.




My flags, also a squirrel that took me off on a chase!



 And here are my hexie blocks so far for this year.  Nice to work on in the car.



So, I am all excited about the fabric storage dresser!!!  I have three empty drawers, still.
