Where has this week gone to? Time flies, especially in summer. A lot of things had to be
done and here, in our house, it looks like there is a ‘tidy up’ virus on the loose! In my
craft room too. After finishing my laptop bag…(Sorry I didn’t have any time to
take some nice pictures) I now need to sort out all my quilt fabrics. On my
desk this week you’ll see all sorts of fabric wait to be ironed J
Dat houd in dat ieder stukje stof wordt gestreken en vervolgens in een ander formaat wordt opgevouwen, zodat deze in de doos past. Gisteren heb ik al een hele middag staan strijken en vouwen (niet echt mijn hobby), maar er liggen nog steeds stofjes die moeten worden gedaan.
That means
that every single piece has to be ironed and folded up into different sizes and
stored in a box. Yesterday I was ironing all afternoon and there are still
some pieces waiting to be done.
En hier zien jullie de doos met de stukjes stof die klaar en gesorteerd zijn op kleur :-) Ik hoop dat ik vanaf nu de goede kleur stofjes vlugger kan vinden zonder eerst verschillende zakjes open te moeten maken. Meestal zaten daar dan net de verkeerde kleuren / patronen in. Het enige dat ik hoop is dat deze doos groot genoeg is voor mijn verzameling. Ik vind hier nl. net nog een serie stofjes die ik wil gaan gebruiken voor landschapsquiltjes en Japanse projecten.
And here
you can see the finished pieces in the box, all sorted out into colours. I'm hoping I can
find the right colours quickly and easily now... and not end up opening lots of bags full of fabrics you don't need at that time. I just hope my box is big enough to store all
my pieces. I think I need to go in town to buy a new one for some others laying on my work desk (the Japanese and for landscape quilts) – I'd almost
forgotten them.
Have a
happy and crafty Wednesday,
xFranka

Hoi Franka,
Hoe gaat het in Zeeland?? Ik lees dat het opruimvirus toegeslagen heeft?? Het ziet er wel super netjes uit!!
Groetjes, Yvonne
Nou Franka, complimenten, je opruimwoede heeft succes...het ziet er prachtig uit zo...nu nog zorgen dat het zo blijft of is dat geen must? :-)
Neem af en toe de tijd om wel lekker wat te maken he...
Hartelijke groetjes, Alie :-)
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your lovely comments on my flags. You're going to feel so good about yourself when everything is ironed and sorted out. Good luck with it all.

Hi Franka I have the tidy up virus too! I am glad that paper doesn't need ironing to make it look neat and tidy. You have done a fab job - hope the next lot of ironing is broken up with lots of desk visits!

I love ironing and folding fabric, but I have to confess, I really never use it. I just like to look at it on my shelves. I use to sew like crazy when the kids were little, but now, I rarely touch the stuff. Only to sew on paper. dani22
You are so organized ... but what a lot of ironing ....I hate ironing xx#9
Franka, thank you for your nice comment on my kitten album. I shall take your advice and laugh everyday at their play, because soon they will be adult cats and sleep all day. You have such a fabric collection! I wish I could come across the sea to steal some of it. Charlotte #40.
As a newbie in the sewing department i think I have just died and gone to fabric heaven. What a lot of lovely stuff you have there - have you been collecting a long time?
Wonderful!
Hugs, Neet #21 xx
Some lovely fabrics there Franka and I can see why you need a bigger storage box. I was in a quilting shop yesterday (buying fabrics) and they were all laid out in colour combinations, all good enough to eat and hard to resist. Can see I will build up quite a collection.
Bit late getting round the desks this week as we were out all yesterday, enjoying the sunshine while it lasts.

You have been very busy...but it is a job that will pay off in many time rewards when you are creating!
Thanks for visiting my desk, Sorry i'm a bit late.
WOW How good are you, everything looks so neat.
