I’m down to just four tasks on my list – I’m not sure that has ever happened before. Three of the tasks are for February cards (one top is already done) and the other is my scrappy challenge for January.

I cleared out more scraps today and spent half an hour working on my fabric cabinet. When my friend Lainey closed her shop I purchased some yardage in a number of fabric lines that I really liked. I’ve never used them but I will someday; for now I just love looking at them. I found if I folded them a bit differently I had more space for yardage in the cabinet. I still have a mess on the floor with things I pulled out and haven’t put back yet but that will be a task for next week.

And speaking of scraps I’m thrilled that my method is working so well. Today I needed a number of 1.5″ squares in neutral colours – just happened to have those sorted in my bin. I also needed some yellow – my yellow scrap bin was sitting right on top of the pile. When I put my scraps away I noticed that my green bin is looking pretty full. It will soon be time to start work on Carol’s Mystery in green; the blue one is almost ready for stitching.

The afternoon was spent making that card top. I’ll get all the tops done before I start quilting them.
