Purging

It took most of the day,

but now my sewing space is transformed from

looking like a fabric bomb went off inside it

to a place where I could actually work.

My shelves may not look neat to you,

but I removed 20 years of fashion fabric scraps

and rearranged all my quilting fabric inside.

Check out those project boxes on the bottom shelves.

Now I have room for them!

I purged alot -- a package of at least 12 metres of yardage and fat quarters

going to my friend Y, who often shops at thrift shops 

and never says no to free fabrics.

I decided to pass on fabrics that are perfectly lovely

but no longer speak to me.

And my table is cleared off for the first time in months!

Lots of scraps went into the dog bed pillows,

some landed in the garbage, especially fashion fabric leftovers,

and quite a lot is headed to the thrift shop

and my quilty friends.

I couldn't moved in my space before,

and now I can.

 I even have a couple of small bins that are completely empty!
