Thursday was a long day in the sewing room, with some results planned and other results came as a happy accidental discovery.
After putting the borders onto the Woven Hearts projects (watch for tomorrow's post), I felt it was time to do a little bit of clean up around the sewing room. Putting things away is not always my strong suit. Just call me lazy! While doing a little organizing a few interesting things were unearthed.
The Cupid Box (Fat Quarter Shop) from 2022 was tucked away in a drawer, never begun at all. Since it's about half pink, I decided this is going to be the next small project while pink is still the color of the month. It finishes about 36" square so it shouldn't take terribly long to sew. The cutting of all of the pieces actually happened on Thursday afternoon.
In a zip lock bag deeper in that drawer was a significant stack of bright fabrics - cut into 5 x 7.5" rectangles, and 7.5" squares. For the life of me I have no clue what I was planning to make with them. But some of these are going into the Buckeye Beauty blocks I'm doing for RSC this year. The rest? I'm not sure yet.
Another pleasant surprise was a bag with 15 blocks that I think I won on a guild bus trip several years ago. Each one is signed by the guild member who made it. Now I need to come up with a good project to use these.

Putting this away in my sewing room is not my forte either. Why is that room doesn't stay clean is beyond me, lol.
Maybe the 5X7.5" rectangles and squares were to be subcut into 2.5" squares for a project? They are very lovely, happy fabric. Enjoy the Pink and red little project. ;^)
I've finally come up with a system that helps me keep my sewing room mostly cleaned up. You found some fun stuff to play with in your clean up efforts. Love the hearts, that should be a lot of fun to finish.
That is another adorable Valentine project!! Yes cleaning up after a project is not my strong suit either. If only I had a bigger room it would be easier to keep it clean.
I think many of us don't put things away as good as we should sometimes I am looking for one thing and while searching I find things that I have no clue as to when I got them or why they ended up in a certain drawer or shelf
