May one monthly goal

My May one monthly goal is a the same as the April goal only taking the next steps. I have made it more challenging by upending my sewing room for a remodel. I am not sure why I picked this exact time to try something new, but, it is a big mess right now as we put everything to rights. I had no idea how many little containers of little scrap pieces I kept shoving to the back and ignoring.  The big change is turning the corner with an ikea table. I am going to really like the space to the left of the sewing machine for borders and big quilts and bindings. The corner piece was bigger than I expected, so everything had to move around for it to fit.


The sewing machine has been silent but I have used the treadle to make this string block, even though, I had decided no more strings for awhile, and had cleaned up the area. But, all those little baskets of little pieces I found had to go somewhere.


The ironing board is at best all covered with undecided stuff from the sewing area, and I haven't really had a place to press anything yet. I did find the crayon for the rainbow scrap challenge accessible, and, I could sew the strip together for orange for the color for May.


I am making progress and hopefully, I will back to a regular quilting routine.

For May I want to assemble allietare, quilt and bind smith mountain morning, swap our circa 1880 blocks, and keep current with the rainbow scrap challenge. oh and hook up my sewing machine.

    It's always fun to get new furniture and figure out new ways to use your space! I really like your scrappy strings!

    Your blocks made great use of those small bits you found! Best of luck setting your room to rights. I hope you are able to get your machine set-up. Enjoy your "new" space (and the rest of ORANGE month!!)

    It's always a pain when to do a sewing room refresh, but usually it pays off in a big way in productive, at least for a while. Good luck with all your May goals.

    I love that corner table. Rearranging/cleaning sewing spaces is always and undertaking, but so worth it.
