Train Wreck Monday!

My sewing room is a train wreck!!!  I am working on Bonnie Hunter's Easy Street Mystery at www.quiltville.com.  I have made 14 of the 16 large blocks and I have pieces and parts everywhere!!  I finally stopped yesterday when I kept sewing parts together wrong.  I was done!  My brain fried, plus Ben, Jake, and Deuce (2 weimaraners and a lab) were all wanting to play in my small room and making me crazy! 

Will try to get back to it tonight.

  2. I love pictures like this.... becuz they make me feel more "normal". Thanks for posting today! Now I will go to the sewing room and try to reorganize my sewing piles (oops) I mean projects. You are making great progress in spite of your little helpers!

  3. Oh..I sewed pieces on upside down and all too. The name Easy Street was a bit deceiving. Sewing the pieces together WAS easy but block construction had me thinking not quite so easy. I love it though and am so glad I stuck with it. CHEERING YOU ON from Iowa!!!

  4. I couldn't believe how empty my sewing room looked when all the pieces were sewn into a whole top LOL. You'll get there!

  6. There should be a Part 9 - the clear up. My workroom is still covered in fabric from the auditioning stage!

  7. Knowing when to take a break is always hard, but I am sure you will have better luck when you have had a change of view for a while.

  8. hahaha You are among folks that know all about well about this mess!! Despite a box to put my clues into, when we began making blocks, fabric threw up everywhere!! Hope this helps you as it did me!! I printed out her Clue 8 pictures and printed them (black and white) but then I wrote what colors, bricks, flying geese etc... SO much easier to see what was in the block without *too* much reverse sewing. Good luck and look forward to the finish line

  9. Hey, it looks like you just stepped into my room!! LOL But I do not have three dogs wanting to take up space, just my son wanting to watch my TV instead of westerns with his Dad. You do have a lot accomplished though.

  11. If it makes you feel any better, I would have to work at least two hours to get my sewing room to look this good! You are doing great. The doggies were saying, you're tired mom, come away!

  12. You are ahead of me, still on the corners. Your quilt will be beautiful, and the reward of having it well deserved. Love the mess by the way.
