End of Year 2025

 As we get ready to start the new year, we tend to analyze our situations.  

I keep a spreadsheet that I got from a blog years ago, and I'm sorry, I don't remember where.  

There are 57 projects on my list.  Some are patterns that I want to make, some are kits purchased at various places (Paducah, Houston, etc), and some are kits that I have created.

I have 17 quilts that need to be quilted including 3 customer quilts.  One of them is on the frame now and I hope to have it completed soon.  These are included in the spreadsheet.

My sewing studio is atrocious right now and I spent some time today putting away fabric scraps leftover from two scrappy quilts that are real close to being flimsys.

Here are some before pictures of my studio.  I think I need HELP!!!

Sewing space.  And this was AFTER I put away a bunch of scraps.

Second sewing space with trash and scraps that need processing.
UPDATE!!! After day 2 of the final countdown, the clothes basket is EMPTY

Can't even get to the sit-down.

Cutting table/side table for the longarm.

General clutter.

More general clutter.  Notice the overflowing trash.

I plan to participate in Karen Brown's Declutter Challenge starting in January.  I've tried it before and not completed it.  Maybe this will be the year.

I also follow Jenny at Prairie Moon Quilts.  She helps with organization year-round but she will have the final countdown the last 3 days of the year.

Wish me luck!!

Until next time, wishing you more stitchin time than I will have.

Honestly Rose, after seeing your sewing studio, I will never invite you into mine. You will understand when you see this post:

BUT ! I do understand that for you this is an awful room and I respect that. We are all at that point at this time of the year. Thanks for sharing the links. I will skip-a-doodle over there and see if they can help me too. Enjoy! ;^)
