WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME--

That you cleaned up your "pin cushions"????
I have a large collection of sewing pins--
and I use different ones for different things--
and therefore it seemed that all my pincushions had an assortment of each of the pins--
but each one did not have enough of which ever one I wanted to use on that project!!!!
Still with me???
so today I got them all out and 'unloaded' all the pins from each one--
then put just one kind of pin back into each one!!
So I am already to sew some more!!
and here is the little corner shelf where I keep them all--
it is right over my cutting table--
On the cutting table today--
I did do some clean up from yesterdays, twister quilt--
the colored pile is now squared up 4 1/2" blocks--they are what is left from the center of your cutting the twister blocks--and the white pile is the border scraps and I have them cut into 4 1/2" triangles--
now I am not sure how I will use these two sets==but they are ready for whenever an idea might just pop into this brain of mine!!!!
Here is all that is left--
From that quilt--so there really is very little waste--the pile on the right did end up in the waste basket--but those on the left still might be large enough for something--so went into my scrap basket!!!
So my 'friends' what kind of trouble did you get into this week end!!??????
Hugs, Di and miss gracie--






OHHHH--I did get a couple other finishes done--
but now I need to finish the finishes--
so stayed tuned for the final showing--
hopefully tomorrow!!!!!

I have several pincushions too and I have been known to separate out the different style pins into each one! Yours are very pretty, nice to get things in order after each project!
