It's been a weird November. Oklahoma has already broken the record for monthly rainfall. We got over 3" just yesterday. That's on top of the over 2" we got last weekend. It's sunny today, but the ground is still really soggy. All the rain has meant lots of time in the sewing room this last week.
- 15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
- 15 minute days/Nov = 9/9 days
- 15 minute days/2024 = 314/314 days
- Success rate = 100%
I'm still surprised that I've kept up with the stitching time this year. It has paid off in lots of progress on many projects this year. Definitely worth the effort.
There was some good progress on the fabric pressing project last week.
The last few fabrics in the to be pressed bin from the last refill in August were pressed, folded and added to the fabric closet. When I went to reload the "to be pressed bin", there were only 4 fabrics left from the pile on top of the wire rack.
Those were also pressed, folded and added to the fabric closet. That takes care of all the prewashed fabrics that were piled on top of the wire rack in the fabric closet. So all this fabric is pressed, folded and sorted into the fabric closet.
That's three and probably an eighth bins of fabric that's been sorted into the rest of the stash. Now to start on the fabric that hasn't been prewashed. There's a lot of that too. But first I have to figure out a strategy on how to tackle that yardage.
Next week we'll be half way through November (yes already). How are you doing on getting in some stitching time and meeting your reorganization goals?

It must feel fantastic to have finished pressing that pile of fabric! I know there is always something to be done, but you have made such great progress on your projects and organizing too.
Way to go on all that pressing - that's been a big job! I'm sure it will be much more efficient and useful to have it organized within your stash instead of in a pile. My goal is to finish quilting my zipper quilt this week - just have to stick with it!
Wow, the empty bin is impressive compared to the original stack! Well done!
Hi Kate, you are really on a role! Thanks for the party.
Way to go!!! Thats a lot of organizing!
and stay dry haha!
That's fantastic! Woohoo!
What a great job on getting that fabric pressed and sorted in to the stash Kate. You’ve inspired me to do another sort on my scrap bin and get my pre cutting done. Good luck on starting that new pile on the rack. It’s still raining here too, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed the snow they keep forecasting for us comes soon! 🤗 Carol
Tackle those fabrics one load a laundry a day or week. Or two or... what ever number you want to devote to it and still get to play with your projects. I'm in need of fabric straighten but that won't take all that long. It just means I've not been careful pulling out and putting back my folded fabrics. But that really can wait until I put away more small piles of fabrics. Have a good week.
