Prepping for Saturday Stash Challenge

Tonight I decided to take out the blue lap quilt I made last week and get all the markings on it for machine quilting. I am going to do some free motion quilting on this baby. I didn't get to take a photo of it as the batteries in my camera need to be recharged again. sigh.......

So since this is the last Saturday of January and the last day to work with blues, as per the Rainbow Stash Challenge, I will work away on my quilt. I can't wait to find out what colour will be for February... hmmm could it be red or pink?? It is Valentine's month after all!!!

Last night, I decided to work a bit on organizing my recipe magazine cutouts and internet recipe printouts etc. I managed to get them all categorized and in their rightful envelopes.





I am now FINALLY ready to start the first binder. I'm thinking of starting small and leave the big nasty binders (the chicken and the dessert ones) til last as they have the most recipes. I think I'll do the "Veggies" binder first.

Ohh, I also finished another 5" embroidery square of my sewing motifs! 7 down and 5 more to go!



Well its after midnight here, and so I'm off to la la land to dream of quilts and patterns and fabrics and food!!! LOL

Wow, you are a very avid recipe collector. I subscribe to Taste of Home and I have a few others that I've bought off news stands but nothing compared to your collection. Your embroidery is so sweet!

I performed the same question that color will come in February, the month of love ... excellent weekend ...

I like to collect recipes too. I only keep them after I have tried them and my family likes them. I keep mine in a notebook.
Sweet little stitchery.

I am so happy to see your stitchery block! I loved that project and am sad that I haven't put my blocks together yet.

Sounds like you've really gotten organized for your recipe binders! I hope we'll get a look once you've gotten one complete (or in the process).
