Works in Progress Wednesday - The Reorg Edition

Being unable to find a pattern in my sewing room has prompted a bit of a reorg. I like being organized although it often takes me a few 'systems' before I get there. Although it probably doesn't look it to an outsider, my sewing room is about 70% organized effectively. It's that 30% that occassionally drives me crazy. I hate being unable to find things. So there will be some sorting, some moving. There will also be some purging of stuff. I picked up "Organizing Solutions for Every Quilter" by Carolyn Woods recently so that should help. Any tips for organizing patterns? Scraps? Cloth dyeing stuff? I'm looking forward to the reorg and to finding that bloody pattern!

So the quilty 411 this week is...

New Projects: 

Simply Solids Bee: For May, Shena chose this fun Alberta Triangles block. I was feeling springy so chose to do mine in greens and purples.

    I am really anxious to see how you will be quilting Hard Core!
    I am constantly re-organizing my studio. Their always seems to be some area that needs a little clean-up! Good luck finding your pattern!

    I really like your hard core quilt! May I ask what your quilt pattern test surface is? That's a really neat technique.

    I love the way you use solids. Hard core is fabulous! And the Alberta Triangles block rocks too. I agree that it's very springy. :)
