Links and Organizing

I'm still crosshatching, and it's looking good, and my current "Mother Earth" (previous posts) should be done this weekend. I MQ'd in line with the diagonal squares. Now, after the fact, I wish I'd just measured from line to line, instead of using the diagonal squares to measure the crosshatching - there IS a difference, not greatly noticeable.

After adventurous efforts to update my page resulted in lost links, I am slowly restoring them. That was a painful lesson to copy those links somewhere! I must be the slowest person on earth, plugging away, getting them all back to 'normal.' So if your name is not there, and it previous WAS there, I'm working on it.

And these photos are of little interest to anyone except ME, who is thrilled she's gotten off her you-know-what and organized her fabric, so she can actually FIND something!
I cleaned fabric drawers! My "blues" are done, my "Neutrals", my "Yellows/Creams", my "reds", my "plaids", my greens.
I've pulled out the smaller bits and cut them into 2 1/2 inch strips. Those 2 drawers are filled up again, but my working table still has a pile of "Melons, oranges" with no place to go! Maybe I'd better make a HUGE "Melons, orange" quilt! LOL
I could not even plan anything because of the mess and disorder! My head was in a muddle, and concentrtion was nil, until I restored some order.


A great neice (age 3) wanted a fairy quilt. I hunted high and low, in town, at 2 other quiltshops - no luck, no fairies, except for Tinkerbelle - NOPE I want pretty fairies! E-Bay, E-Quilter, QIAD, no luck. Guess what I found in cleaning out my own stash. Yep, the perfect fairies. 8-))

BTW, I have a other places filled with fabric, this is some of the neatest piles.

Today, the thermometer is hugging the 100 degree mark. Whew!
