An Explosion of Crumbs

Why is it that when I  work on these crumb blocks, my room  looks like my scrap basket exploded.
I mean it, exploded.

It has looked like this every time and I thought I would just share it. I was wondering, does your space end up like this or am I just a very messy quilter.


I was able to get quite a few  blocks done this afternoon. I really liked making these log cabin blocks the best so far. I like how I do not have to worry about the seams being a perfect 1/4 inch or that they will match up on each strip. Can just slap it together and it looks great.
LOVING IT


And then I got crazy and continue to make a few more filler blocks.


Look at how big my pile is getting.

WHOO - HOO

This is just way too much fun for one person, enjoying the process.

Till next time,
Kat

    I have you know....my space looks way worse! I have to shut the door. In fact, I wondered why it looked like these scraps were growing instead of shrinking...still wonder that now!!! Yes, it is a fun process. Your blocks look great!!

    I don't think there is a tidy way to crumb piece! I've tried. I think that's why I can only handle it for so long and then I hit sensory overload. But with blocks like the ones you've been putting out, I have to say, it's worth putting up with mess for the results.

    It seems you are not the only one with a messy space...seems to be a common denominator among all of us. LOL! Yours are looking fabulous!

    Nope that is what a crumb factory is supposed to look like! Heck, that's why we start using them - to try to get them out of there (notice I said TRY?)

    Your blocks look great, keep 'em coming!

    Hi, I just linked over from a friday linky party. To me your creative room looks busy and productive. I know, I see photographs of some people's workspace and I wonder "Does anything happen there?" as it's so tidy. Good luck on your quilt. The blocks are beautiful!

    It is such a relief to know that I am not just a slob, that my room is suppose to look like that. I can get back to work and not feel guilty. Thank you everyone and thank you for all your comments.

Countdown to Autumn. 18 days

  After some thought I came up with a general "get to" list for a pre - Autumn preparation. I had mentioned a couple in the last post. I will keep those and have added a few more. I needed to remind myself that a lot of my ideas are a little premature hance the pre autumn and will be better done next month. So here is what I came up with... Deep cleaning is still on Planning activity for next month Decorating inside and out.   Making a fall outfit, sewing and knitting Find some new recipes to try Make a pair of fall or Halloween socks I will be focus on journaling with Autumn being the present subject.  Making sourdough bread again This one I have already started, Watching a cozy, feel good show. So "the man of the place" and are rewatching PBS All Creatures Great and Small. In a matter of a couple days we have watched season 1. I figure we need to refrain ourselves and keep it down to a couple episodes a night. Today I put a binding on another quilt from the pile. ...

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...
