Taming Chaos
My daughter-in-law has a genius for taming chaos, and I learn a lot from her just by being in her house. One idea has helped me a lot – baskets.
Quilters use a lot of equipment, and it can really get messy. I have baskets of scraps that I mean to cut into usable pieces, baskets of tools, baskets of my office supplies, and now – a basket of rulers.
Before:
After:
The Quilt Room is ready for me. It may look messy to you, but this is the clutter of creativity, the clutter of works in progress, not the clutter of chaos. Right now, I know where all my tools are, I know where to find all my blue fabrics, I can put my hands on just the ruler I need, the iron is up and ready to take care of straying seams and the sewing machine is plugged in. Wooo HOOOO on me!

Celebrate, my friend–life is really good now. Whatcha making?
Just finished a seaside cottage quilt, similar to another one I made four years ago for my sister. I finished that one; started this at the same time and just now finished it up. Finished up Barbie Gets An Edge, which I love but I am giving to a friend for her BD. Started another quilt as a request, but it is a quilt I have done before and I love doing. I’ll try to get some things up on the other blog soon.
