January quilty plans
Judy asked and I have decided on the focus for January. Sew down the overflowing scrap bin in here. It is like the stuff I dumped in the corner of this room-blocking my stash closet-I am sick of looking at it. So, goal plan, put in my five minutes this am before work-come home and make a dent in the corner mess. I am going to probably pin the top on my sewing table as it is only a baby size top-then do boring paperwork that is nagging at me mentally to get started on. I will set up my Gem on the kitchen table in the evenings and work on the scrap heap. It has bits and pieces of mile a minute and crumb blocks in it-with lots of assorted scraps piled on top of those. Here is where the balance part comes in- set the timer and do some time on paperwork, then move on to some time stitching.
I don't want to feel I need a large amount of time to devote to tackling these goals. I want to take them in bite size steps. I want to be sure and enjoy the process :-)
It's been far too long since I did some deep cleaning in here- and I do enjoy doing that.

I need to work on my overflowing scrap drawers too. I have several scrappy quilts planned for the next few months that hopefully will make a dent in them.
And I've started using a timer too so I won't get caught up in whatever I'm working on and forget other things that need to be done.
good luck.... I can't do those Mile a minute blocks.... (I prefer to pass on those riches....)
Yes, I am the Nickel Queen. I have/had a pile - that lived nicely out of site and out of the way like your scraps. I just finally got to the "I need to do something with these" point.
I'm late in welcoming you to our ring, since I haven't been reading or posting during my Christmas break. I wish you great success in your January goals. I'm still trying to get a handle on just how much fabric I have, but I'm making a commitment to do some sewing each week (sewing every day just isn't happening in my life).
Glad you're here!

I'm trusting that your stash hasn't swallowed you when you freed it from the closet :-) and that you'll enjoy having even a few minutes each day to touch the fabric.
It sounds like you set some realistic goals for January! Your first charity quilt of the year is awesome too! I'd quilt it!
Hugs
Laurie
