I hang rulers, rotary cutters, scissors on it and also the things that always get lost in drawers like Karen Buckley's perfect circle bags also several patterns I want hang so whenever I get around to making them, I can find the pattern! There are also several speciality rulers I've been gifted with, don't want those lost.

I hadn’...Nina, thank you so much for today’s post! I hadn’t heard of the Loose Ends FB group but the guild I was president of until recently was constantly getting those kinds of requests (and did not have enough guild members who were available/interested in volunteering, as they were very heavily committed to doing charity quilting for local children’s hospitals). I got inquiries like that at my long arm quilting business as well and would take on those projects occasionally even though it wasn’t the best fit for me. I’m so glad to have someplace better to refer those families in the future.<br /><br />And I am also a recent member of that other group you mentioned. I’m right in the middle of moving from NC to FL (as in, the NC house is empty and all of my possessions are packed up in boxes and moving pods that I can’t access right now, and we don’t close on our new house in FL until Tuesday). My sewing space in our new house is only about a third of the size of what I had in NC, and my long arm machine, batting, and tools specific to the quilting phase will all be housed in a separate studio space at my FIL’s house 15 minutes away from our new home. So I’m going to be starting from scratch setting up and organizing these two spaces and will be lurking and searching that FB group for tips and suggestions, especially for ideas pertaining to smaller work spaces. <br /><br />The “Silver Lining” opportunity for me will be separating Work Quilting from Personal Hobby Sewing and I’m hoping to create better boundaries between work and personal time instead of just working all the time because the work is always right in front of me, 24/7. We’ll see how it goes — life is an adventure story and different chapters of our lives call for different creative spaces. At least that’s what other quilters are telling me.Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05891097077543213720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364828980944336570.post-8840947207466402822024-02-16T07:39:40.197-05:002024-02-16T07:39:40.197-05:00"So my husband comes home from JoAnn's&qu..."So my husband comes home from JoAnn's"......whaaaaat?

Yes, those kids grow up fast, don't they? One of these days I'll weed out the Bob the Builder and Sesame Street fabrics out of my stash, since my 20 and 23 year old sons are not really into that anymore. ;-). What weight is your Deco Bob thread? Oh, and YES I was surprised to discover in a recent workshop that although satin stitch machine applique stresses me out and makes me miserable, I actually did find it relaxing and enjoyable when I switched to machine applique with either a blanket stitch or a small zigzag. Sometimes you gotta just keep trying different things until you find your groove.
