This blog is an attempt to shame myself into finishing some quilt tops!

Cleaning up my quilting closet
I decided that in order to get some projects finished I would need to organize my quilting closet. Yes I said closet - wish I had a quilting room but for now I am designated to a quilting closet - oh lets not forget all the material in my bedroom closet, and under my bed, and in the basement in bins. But those can wait - for now lets just deal with the closet. I spent two hours working on two shelves. I took everything out and went through it. It took me two hours and at that point I was exhausted so the rest of the shelves will have to wait. I found three baby quilt tops all done just waiting for border and quilting. Who was I making these for? I have no idea! One of them was totally done by hand so that bad boy is old! I haven't done that kind of handwork in a long long time. I think I will try and quilt it by hand and give it to my first grandchild. None of my kids are married yet, so I should be able to get this accomplished right? Lets hope! I found projects and all the fabric for them with the patterns. I also found some bags that I had made and couldn't for the life of me figure out what had happened to them. Now I know - the dreaded closet!!! Anyway, I just finished up two wall hangings and as soon as the binding is sewn down I will post pictures. I also finished another wall hanging that I had to have - The Witch is In! Totally me some days. I will post that as well. After going through the third shelf, I vowed not to buy any more material until I start using some that I already had. We shall see how that goes! What is everyone else doing out there? How do you keep organized?
