Spring Cleaning

We have been doing a lot of Spring cleaning at our house, but this week I decided to tackle my sewing room!  It took pretty much the whole week too.  I wish I had taken some before pictures to show the "transformation" but I was too into it to stop and take any pictures.  I had stuff piled on the floor, especially around the ironing board.  There was stuff spilling out of every nook and cranny!

I purged a lot and donated a lot.  I found things I was excited to make at one time and am just not excited to make now.  I'm hoping someone else will snatch them up and have fun!  Now everything fits in a cupboard somewhere and all of my projects (the ones I DO want to make) are all sorted and stowed and ready to go.  I even made a list, so I won't forget about any of them and I can wipe each one off as it's completed.  I'm looking forward to seeing that list get smaller.  I have projects to last a very long time, as you can see by my list! 😲

It feels SO good and inspires me to create again. 😊❤️

 

Lisa Zahn

Lisa Zahn was our speaker at CWQG last week.  She does collage quilts and is a certified teacher of the Laura Heine method.  Her quilts were fun and beautiful!  Here is a sampling of some of hers and some of her friends! 😊

 

Barnes and Noble!!

 So many new books came out this week, you must be needing one!  If you go to Barnes and Noble today in Grand Junction, be sure to mention the Colorado West Quilt Guild, or if you shop online be sure to enter in the code number above, as this is a fundraising day for the guild! Happy shopping 😊

Happy Birthday!!

Had a busy weekend last weekend celebrating my daughter's birthday AND Easter!  Fun time with family!

Saw this donut should in American Fork - who could resist? 😂

 

Deep Clean

I'm deep cleaning my sewing room!  It's going to take awhile.... This week I cut up some fabric scraps into either 5" or 10" squares and made bundles the guild can hopefully sell at their booth at the upcoming quilt show 😊 Show are the pretty Japanese taupe and woven fabrics.

 

Bespoke

 Finally finished my Bespoke quilt top and I love it!!
