I just put the finishing touches on a big project . . larger than I usually make. I think it was about 92″ x 92″. I’m waiting for the UPS man to get here to get it. And . . no . . you can’t see it yet! 🙂 You’ll be surprised when you do see it. The first thing you’ll probably say is . . those aren’t her colors! And the next thing you’ll say is . . I like it!! OK . . that’s all I’m saying about that project for now.
I’m happy to get back to working on the Sing a Happy Song top.
As I was getting the sewing machine set up again from having taken it to our guild sewing time, I looked at the floor . .
. . . and I wondered . . how many little snipped triangles would I have on the floor if I didn’t have that trash can sitting right there? Is anyone else this messy? I track these things all over the sewing room. I wonder if any of them actually made it to the trash can.
I should vacuum before I start sewing but . . I’m not gonna! 🙂 It’s my sewing room and it doesn’t bother me one bit!

I can’t handle suspense very good…

Mild compared to what the floor around my machine looks like. And it ends up all over the house-poodles have long ears which are good for picking up any little thing-like threads, snippets of fabric!
Mary C in WA says
So what magazine are we going to need to buy to see it?? Sounds good to me. 92 is big enough for the top of my bed. Yep I miss the trash sometimes too. Thread and dogears show the world we are quilters.
Diana says

Track them all over your sewing room? I track them all over the house! I even find them in the driveway.

lol, the only thing i have problems with is finding my binding clips scattered around the house–one of the cat’s favorite toys! he loves to involve himself in every aspect of quilting it seems; a true quilter’s cat.
Audrey says
I track them all over the house and my husband picks them up and asks what they are. When I say ‘bunny ears’, he just shrugs. He never stops asking.
Janet says
92 in. sounds bed-size. Can’t wait to see it! I put my waste pail on top of an upside-down laundry hamper-that puts my pail at table height, and much easier not to miss.
Cathy S says
I have those things too, and a lot more of them. I keep one of those Swiffer things in my sewing room, with scrap pieces of batting as the duster things on the bottom of it. I run it around the area of my sewing machine every now and then, and just keep the pile of them sort of all in one place, behind the door where I’m the only one to see the pile. LOL!! When it gets high enough to swallow me, I might vacuum them up. LOL!
Norma V says
you can always make quilt soup out of them…

oh, yeah….threads, snippets….and because I don’t clean them up promptly I end up with some dust bunnies too. But I read in a magazine that dust bunnies are not dangerous…..
