May Studio Organizing, Task One

Posted on May 10, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Well, I did it! I stopped procrastinating, set in on that messy corner, and here’s what I ended up with! I haven’t had my hand-quilting frame set up for nearly 11 years! The poor quilt that’s in it has been languishing for that long! It’s not a hand-quilted quilt, either — it’s a quilt that […]

April Studio Organizing, Task Two

Posted on April 27, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Well, it didn’t take me long to fill my cutting table back up after I cleared it off, but I’m *this close* to finishing two more quilt tops, so I hope that mess is only temporary. And after I cleaned and oiled my machine, it started skipping stitches. I was ready to pitch it out […]

March Studio Organizing, Task Two

Posted on March 29, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

How did you do with the paper clutter last time? I got rid of quite a bit, and one of my tables is clear, but there is always more I could do, so I’ll keep at it. Meanwhile, it’s somehow past time for another task, so before the month gets away from me, let’s pick […]

March Studio Organizing, Task One

Well! I completely dropped the ball on a second organizing task for February. I didn’t even realize until today that I forgot to post a second one, and I’m already late with the first one for March! What have I been doing? I guess I’ve been so busy sewing that time has gotten away from […]

February Studio Organizing, Task One

Posted on February 11, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Well, here’s my bag of scraps. Not empty, but I’ve sure made a dent in it. And not much of it has gone into my pre-cuts! This bag had mostly really tiny pieces in it, but I use a lot of tiny pieces, so it works out great for me. From this bag, so far, […]

January Studio Organizing, Task Two

Posted on January 25, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Well, all I managed to get done with the last task was clean out the drawers in my sewing machine cabinet, and thankfully, they weren’t too messy. But now I have fresh bobbins wound, all attachments are back in place, I bought a new bottle of machine oil to keep on hand, and all my […]

Did you all survive The Final Countdown? Ready to tackle even more organizing? I’ve finished a few quick-to-finish things already this month, which means I’m already starting to check some things off my list, and I’m still chipping away at that pile in my spare room. This is a BIG downsizing year for me, and […]

Mid November already?? And winter has hit us. There’s snow on the ground and ice on my windows as I sit here at my desk typing this. I’ve done a lot of sewing this fall, and I’ll be back later with more about that, but for now, it’s organizing time. I guess we can call […]
