Annual Organization Challenge Week #2 How did you make out with last week's challenge? Did you find your work table? Here's this week's challenge: Your challenge this week is to S.P.A.C.E. your paper - - and I mean ALL of your paper: cardstock, patterned paper, specialty papers, and all those SCRAPS! SORT: Bring all of your paper to one area. Sort it all into piles: KEEP, SELL, DONATE, TRASH PURGE: bag up, and assign a price to paper bundles that you want to SELL at a garage sale or online, and put the bags in the garage sale box. Throw out the TRASH pile. Bag up the DONATE pile and immediately make arrangements for drop-off/pick-up or put in your vehicle. ASSIGN: separate your paper into categories that make sense to you.

ReplyDeleteHi Pam I like Sewonforever's suggestion. Sounds like a good fix!!

I had this happen several times with client quilts. And twice with one of my own,LOL all after they were partly quilted on the LA. I took a square of matching fabric and slipped it under the seam & slip stitched it then quilted over it for stability. It will never be noticed especially with a scrap or busy quilt.
