weekend sewing

HI,
I have been cleaning up my sewing room  unloading my desk next to sewing machine it had gotten stacked really high...  and also cleaned out 3 drawers of a rolling cabinet.   Found the 2 things that I have been looking for and had given up on finding soon.  One was a pack of newsprint paper I had ordered from amazon for paper piecing at xmas time  to finish an order for free shipping  and a kit I bought last year at Paducah quilt show (small wall hanging) that I wanted to get done before this year's show.  I found them both in the rolling cabinet.  Put kits and projects all in one drawer, scraps in another drawer and misc in the bottom one.  This cabinet sits close to my sewing machine with ironing board on top of it so I can pull it close to machine when sewing.  This works great for small projects. 
I have been doing scrap sewing in the evenings this weekend. I used up a small brown shopping bag full yeah bag is empty, now to work on the drawer I just discovered.  Here is what I made over the weekend while watching TV in evening.

Also in the one of the drawers I found this project that I took a class in Paducah many years ago, the year that Paducah flooded and they had to move the show to any available building in town and churches offered up there classrooms for classes.  one block was done but not quilted and other one was not started so I finished both of them and now they are hot pads. 

On one of my quilting yahoo groups they had been talking about these button hooks so Friday a friend and I went looking for them  we found them in 2 Dollar General stores out of 5 stores. One manager told us to check back in day or two  they had a truck unloading so she went back on Sat and they had them. they are really cute for our sewing rooms. She is reclaiming a room that used to be hers into her sewing room  so will be great decorations.  I asked friend to look for them and she found them in store near her and daughter was out shopping Sat. and found 3  so I think we have plenty  great Xmas gifts for guilt groups.

Now I need to go looking for a piece of fall fabric in my fabric closet but tote that has that fabric in underneath other stuff  so I guess I will see what is all piled in that corner of closet.  Making 4 season pillows for our local guilt guild's show in June  I have winter done  need to get others done using my embroidery machine. They will be part of our raffle prizes.

Well back to quilting a bargello quilt in the quilt machine  purples and using gold thread looking good.

Happy stitiching
