Cindy reporting in after a chaotic finish to my barn block quilt. In order to get it quilted and in the mail before Christmas, I had to send it off to my quilter, Ms. SJ, last week. Wait until you see the finished quilt, it’s beautiful.

Needless to say, my sewing marathon created chaos in my sewing room. It was a scrappy quilt and I had scraps everywhere! Drawers of fabric were dumped and scattered! I was always looking for just the right fabric…you know the drill!

After I finish a big project like that, I try to clean up and get organized for my next project.

Gasp! Why are my blacks and grays mixed in with my purples? AND there’s a scrap of gold and a big scrap of white in there too!

Looks like I’m going to have to bring order to this chaos before I get started on my next project!

Do you have some tips for organizing fabrics? Let us know!

Yes, it’s true! Bunny Diva is done and has been gifted to her new bundle of joy. Here are some close ups before she was quilted.

Mom helped me with the design and we both like the final result. The top and bottom are mirror images of each other.

I washed Bunny Diva before I gave her away because I wanted her to be all scrunchy and soft. You can see how pretty she is now that she’s quilted.

Thanks to mom, Bunny Diva did not get the best of me. In fact, I even made a matching doll quilt with left over scraps. Farewell Bunny Diva! I know you will be loved and cherished, as you should be.

I am working away on the Lori Holt Barn Blocks for our brother in law’s quilt. Sandy and I think 20 blocks are needed for a queen size bed.

Below is a preview of what I’ve accomplished so far. I found some hummingbird fabric in my stash and I like how it looks with the weathered gray barn siding fabric.

I found some cool cat fabric and decided Mr. Kitty needed to perch in the hay mow.

What’s not to love about flamingos in a barn? I think this looks downright tropical!

I had some horse fabric on hand. Don’t these cuties look like they’re having fun running around inside the barn?

All of these barn blocks are fun to make. I get to play with color and am using lots of scraps. Yay! I’m making room for more fabric!
