But I did clean up a big chunk of my sewing room the other day, and like it after all! I love what you did with the tiny squares, especially with the black running through. That just looks like fun to me!LIttle Penguin Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05963436433585505550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-77350141680480069872016-08-01T16:09:30.419-07:002016-08-01T16:09:30.419-07:00Yes, cleaning up, sorting, moving things around gi...Yes, cleaning up, sorting, moving things around gives me always great inspiration. The only "problem" with this approach is that I get inspired in the middle of the cleaning/sorting so I usually have one half of the stash nice and tidy and the rest, well, it's inspiration for another day :) Thanks for sharing your process, you are always very creative!!AlidaPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967934556463918222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-86235365479423829332016-08-01T08:31:35.861-07:002016-08-01T08:31:35.861-07:00Yes!

Unfortunately for my creative whim, rationality usually wins: "You came in here to tidy up, didn't you?!". I then resolve that I must remember that bright plan, as I continue moving fabric from one pile to another; a useless activity and very depressing. I should follow my heart! After all, your little squares are tidied now aren't they, and you have a table runner to prove it!Marlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395982229464502358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-40901973886142436792016-08-01T07:37:27.443-07:002016-08-01T07:37:27.443-07:00mess -- my personal bugaboo because, I admit it, I...mess -- my personal bugaboo because, I admit it, I am a messy person.

I used to sew in our bedroom, then I got a small, narrow room in the basement, then eventually all three kids left home now I have 3 bedrooms full and the long narrow room in the basement!!!! :D Hahaha!!! And still, I don't have enough room!!!<br />Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05142747965140946010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-59033400695578754262016-07-29T19:08:41.250-07:002016-07-29T19:08:41.250-07:00I love, love, love it!

Then to have to undo a square oh dear. You must be very patient determined person with tidier sewing room than mine.<br />Have noticed in my old age have to be in mood to sew, really wanting to make something before I can get in there and stick to it. That's if can even get into room, it's a big fat mess, would have to take lots of "stuff" out of room to be able to get to sewing machine, then what would I do with all that "stuff" in hallway? I desperately need my own storage shed to keep all my "not being used at time decorations" that will be called upon for duty in some other season or holiday. On top of that both craft and sewing rooms are much smaller than other peoples closets.<br />Keep hoping mood will strike to get into sewing room soon as really do want to do some sewing. Then maybe urge will strike to tackle craft room, groan. Think that could be very big maybe with this heat. <br />Have wonderful weekendsrpprcrftrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861352034915359506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-33697597799242952032016-07-29T13:55:17.493-07:002016-07-29T13:55:17.493-07:00I usually clean up when I'm trying to avoid se...I usually clean up when I'm trying to avoid sewing.
