After at least 50 quilts made and roughly 4 years since the last clean-up, I managed to accumulate quite a pile of scraps. But after pulling everything out of the sewing room to make room to switch my old quilting frame for the new one, I was determined to put some order into the scrap pile and turn it in to something usable.
After two weeks of spending virtually every weekend hour and weekday evening sorting and trimming, I feel I've made great strides. Lady Cat was quite concerned at my single-mindedness and felt it necessary to stroll across the table now and then to check up on me. At one point, she stopped nose to nose and just stared at me as if to say "this has gone on long enough - you can pay attention to me now". So, I took the hint and put the sorted part neatly on the shelves and stuffed the rest back into 2 bins, and then sat down with Lady Cat to catch up on television. I was rewarded with a contented purr and adoring looks before she drifted off to sleep.
I made a note to self to be sure and get back to those bins soon -- we'll see.
