I love the fresh start feeling of a new year. Along with my quilting goals for 2011, I have a set a personal goal of GETTING MORE ORGANIZED in all aspects of my life.
First on my list this morning was my sewing area. With many swaps, sewing bees, and projects lined up for 2011, it was definitely a must.
After a few hours of folding, refolding, labeling, and organizing, I was pretty satisfied with all of my hard work. So satisfied, I just had to sit down and start sewing. Can you blame me?
I decided to tackle my practice block for the {Sew} Beautiful Bee. Cherie's choice for the month of January was the dresden plate quilt block. Let's just say I was a little intimidated, but it was great to get out of my comfort zone and try something new! All in all, it is an awesome block and went together a lot easier than I had expected.
Now I am off to sew the actual block! Happy New Year!
Love your block! This makes me want to get started on mine right now.
ReplyDeleteP.S. When you're done getting organized, can you organize my life?
Awesome clean up, I love your sewing room :) Now, if only I could get mine to look that polished and tidy! Your practice block turned out fantastic@
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous of your peaceful and inspiring space! I am sitting amongst phone books, doll clothes, and Ritz crackers...I guess it's time for a good tidying up! Love the plate, too!
ReplyDeleteThe block looks great! It also looks a little intimidating! One of my goals this year is my crafting area too. :)
