While the cat's away................

I like to go to bed early and get up early. It's just what works best for me. However, since I'm not the only person living in the house, I need to be quiet when I get up early. It used to be OK when I sewed in Studio B because it was in the basement. At least Studio U is at the other end of the house.

However, I'm home alone this week. I know - I'm super excited, I mean sad, very sad to be home alone all week.

So when I woke up early this morning and was laying in bed thinking about what needed to be done today, I came up with a plan. I bounced out of bed and turned on the lights. The house was ablaze!

I need to tackle this. This  - being all the quilts that are in the upstairs hallway.

Let's not forget the quilts on the spare bed.

There was also a huge suitcase of quilts in the front hall downstairs. And I found some quilts in a drawer and I know there are a few more around the house. I'm rounding them all and going to start a project.

There are a few more in the basement that just needs a wee bit more quilting (they're already bound). It's time to deal with this mess and get it organized. I did a rough count. Any suggestions? There are about as many finished as there are in the "to be quilted" pile. ACK - where will I put those when they are quilted?

Let's not forget that there are still about 6 quilts at the magazine location. I don't give away many quilts, but I have given some away.

I also have a stack of small items that I've made. Nope - haven't given those away either! Oh my god - I'm a quilt hoarder! The problem is that I use a lot of the quilts in my trunk shows. Of course, there's a lot that I don't use either. My goal is to figure out a good way to store them so they are easily accessible to me when I need them. OH - and to enjoy them when I'm in the nursing home with dementia. People can come and chat about my quilts.

I'll share with you my plan as I get started.

I have class photos to share with you, but I also went to spin class this morning. OK - so because of various circumstances, it's been a while since I was there. It was a tad tough today! But I managed to cycle the equivalent of 27 KM. I'll probably pay the price later today when I'll need a nap. I'm OK with that. Hopefully, it'll be warm enough to have the nap outside.

Now I'm late - really late. While I have a lot of stuff to do today, it's all at a relaxed pace. I like relaxed!

On that note, I'm out of here.

Have a super day!

Ciao!
