Project End

Today was the day to deal with the trimmings from the Twin Hugs. I can't seem to get enthused about another project until the flotsam and jetsam from the previous has been properly dealt with. Piled on the cutting mat is not "properly dealt with". So with plenty of passive-aggressive help from Zoe


all those striped fabrics were cut into Scrap User sizes (1-1/2" squares, bricks, and strips on the wall, waiting to be put in their container. Two inch, 2-1/2", and 3-1/2" items get put away immediately). Anything narrower than 1-1/2" but 4" or longer was tossed into the string bin, and finally anything between 1"-1.5" wide and 2.5"-4" long was tossed into the red tin in the mid-right side of the photo. Those will be sewn onto my ever-growing 2-1/2" or 3-1/2" scrap borders (one of which can be seen to the right of the scissors, secured with a green ponytail elastic.)

Zoe, once she settled down to cover half the trimmings, kept up a constant, annoyed beating of her tail (extra cat points for landing on the ruler as I was using it). She was letting me know in no uncertain terms that she was extremely dissatisfied with the quantity and quality of attention given, especially when she was so close.

  1. Zoe is lucky her tail doesn't get in the way of that rotary blade! Like you, I like to tidy up between projects. I've seen photos of other quilters' cutting tables and work areas -- I don't know how they manage.

  2. By rights she should be a Manx by now. I'm super careful when she's being "helpful".
