A year later...

Well, it has been over a year since I started this blog and going through Wannetta's crafting/quilting supplies.  I feel like I am not any closer to being finished with it.  Looking at my "Goals", I have not done very many of them.  I have gone through a LOT of fabric.  I have washed, ironed, measured, folded, and priced many, many pieces.  We have sold a lot out of the shop.  I washed 2 loads today.  But, I still have lots to go.  She stored a lot of her fabric in crates.  I have gone through many of them, but am only about half way through.  Most of them has about 3 loads of laundry in each one...she packed them tight!  The one I did today only had 2 loads.  There are duck fabrics and Halloween fabrics in it.  My friend, Lori, has been helping me.  She has taken fabric home to iron for me, or she come by the shop and irons for awhile.  She is fast with her ironing!  She had done a whole, large laundry basket full for me last month, or the month before.  I finally got to it yesterday and priced it all.  Just in time for Third Saturday Shoppers to come and purchase.  I have kept some of the fabric...the stuff I just couldn't live without!
I did not get the quilt machine set up.  We don't have room for it right now.  I have found a few quilts I want to finish.  I found a Spider Web quilt that Wannetta paper pieced.  The magazine that she got the pattern out of was still with it.  I had to fix a few blocks and make a few blocks, but it is ready for the borders to go on.  I also need to take all the paper off the back sometime.
I have not finished Stacey's Cathedral Window quilt.  I have sewn the two pieces together, but have not added the "window" pieces in yet.  I really need to get that done and get it to her.
I have not really gotten rid of anything.  I thought yesterday that I need to throw a few magazines away each week.  I have them in the "Yard Sale" room, but no one is buying them.  I'm sure they think they have enough magazines, like me.  Maybe I should take some pictures and sell them on e-bay.  Wonder if anyone would want them?  Maybe when I get home from Moldova in a couple of weeks.
Well, it is time to get ready to go to the shop.  Mary is not coming in today, so I can't be late.
Until next time.  Maybe I will get some pictures up.
