That describes my sewing space perfectly.
A work in progress.
A couple of weeks ago I got the best deal on some plastic tubs at Canadian Tire.
Like almost free kind of cheap!
so of course I bought lots!
and then I went back and bought more for my scraps-larger ones...
which made me and the hubby happy.
less than $15 = happy hubby
organized sewing space = happy ME
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so what are these other WIP's?
Well there are more than I'd like to admit....
AND this does confirm to my hubby that I'm good at starting but not so great at finishing...
but it's all relative--
and now that I'm organized--it'll be so much better!
I've told myself that once there are no more boxes for a project then I can't begin anything until I finish one--so on with the show
this one is a scottie dog for my dear middle child who has asked for a "dark blue" polka dotted dog stuffy.
SPECIFICS: Scottie Dog (free) pattern from Denyse Schmidt HERE
STATUS: so far the front patchwork is done and the back will be made from the royal blue felted sweater in the picture
this quilt is a modified Disappearing 9 Patch using a special cutting method
SPECIFICS: Easy Bake pattern by Cluck Cluck Sew available HERE
STATUS: blocks completed...now I have to sew my quilt top together
I'm mad at it.
Mainly, it's just not going together right and is just not playing fair.
So I put it away and was going to leave it there for a LOOOOOONG time but then taking it out to take these photos did spark a tiny desire to see it finished....

I remembered all the seams I've ripped out on this baby and it may stay out of my sight for a bit longer :)
SPECIFICS: fall quilt adapted from the Sugar Pop n' Change (free) pattern
STATUS: retired until further notice
These lovely blocks were gifted to me from Heather Bostic of (House) of A La Mode fame.
She was making a quilt in aqua, grey and orange 'til her hubby nixed the orange and then lucky me!
So far there aren't enough to make a quilt the size I'd like so I need to add to it...
SPECIFICS: inspiration quilt HERE
STATUS: blocks in progress
A quilt for my pumpkin's bed (double) made with the love Sultry fabric by Basic Grey for Moda.
Using a couple of layer cakes to make an oversized version of the Disappearing 9 Patch.
I just love it in all it's pinks and limes and browns.
thanks to my mom who understood my need for this fabric and came to my aid with her credit card until I could pay her back--now that's love! Thanks mom!
SPECIFICS: Disappearing 9 patch (oversized) --my first bed quilt
STATUS: initial blocks sewn--slicing and dicing, trimming and quilt top sewing in progress

So I guess that's most of them that I'm working on however I have tons more swimming around in my head.
And I may have just purchased a layer cake of Lori Holt's new line "Sew Cherry" to make a quilt for someone super special but it won't do to name names at the moment
*wink wink*
