Fabrics Selected

It was unanimous — the brighter fabrics are the choices for the 7 necessary for the Harpsichord Patchwork. These are the 7 I’ve decided on.


I started organizing my fabric stash on the weekend. It’s something I’ve been putting off for ages. Friday I got some smaller plastic containers that I can actually handle and Sunday afternoon I got a good start. I’ll work at it throughout this week slowly, so as to not aggravate my hands, and hope to have everything organized and put away by the end of the week. I don’t know how much stitching will get done this week to post about, but it will be a great accomplishment to have my fabric in containers that I can actually manage rather than struggle to move around. I’d love to have my fabric on shelves but, with the dust that’s part of downtown living and the cat hair floating in the air, I don’t think that’s a good idea.

Smudge, wide-eyed and awake.


And Lester, in his normal spot on the windowsill, also wide-eyed.

  1. Gorgeous, colorful fabrics, Cathi. I think the blocks will look smashing.I have most of my fabric in see through containers and I've also labeled some of them by category e.g. Civil War, 1930's, Christmas, etc. It sure makes it easier to finds things.
