T-Day Tips
This is a simple tip, one that many of you all will probably already use. But I find it bears repeating.
A little back story first. Recently I was gifted with some boxes of scraps and what-not from a friend who got it from another friend who got it from a deceased relative. Each person had already gone through the scraps and taken what they wanted. So by the time I got them they were pretty picked over.
Part of what I found were blocks half done and others cut out and projects that were all ready to go. But, there was no way to figure out what was in the mind of the quilter as nothing was labeled or in any particular order.
This severed as a lesson to me. There are times when I come back to a project that I have to spend an hour or more figuring out what I had in mind when I started the project. Shoot, I don’t even have to be away from the project but a night and it takes time to work it out.
So my tip today is to keep note pads handy in your sewing area and to USE THEM for labels. Mark down dimensions, make a project note with name of pattern and fabrics being used and for what parts of the project. Make your life easy by keeping track of your projects.
