Clutter Quilting Peppadews


Inspired by the book Clear your Clutter by Karen Kingston I started the year off by clearing out cupboards. Its amazing how much stuff we collect/hoard over the years. 12 bags of paper went into recycling, boxes of books and magazines,clothes,crockery etc went to the charity shop. Why do I need 15 vases?! I kept one. As I was clearing, I found things I had forgotten about and clothes still with the price tags attached that I had never worn. Now, when I open the cupboards I can see/find everything. No more surprises!
It feels like 40C today- no energy!

Several tops need quilting . I moved my machine to the dining table, its a spacious 8 seater, much more comfortable than at the small table in my sewing room, and started on the raggedy quilt, doing a little quilting every morning. By 9am its too hot and humid to quilt. I just have the border to quilt and the binding to sew on then I will have 6 tops left to quilt.

                                                                 
Peppadews growing wild in my garden, they are everywhere. Delicious stuffed with cream cheese, on sandwiches, pizza, in salads. I have preserved enough and left the rest to dry on the plants, there's just too much.

The Partisans Daughter - Louis De Bernieres
Talking to Heaven - James Van Praagh

Clear you Clutter - Karen Kingston

    Looks like a great setup for quilting.

    I need to start cleaning out my closets to. It is amazing how much stuff we store and don't need and how much room we have after getting rid of clutter.

    If I asked nicely and would pay you for your shipping costs (simple small mailing envelope as in a No. 8 security envelope or something like that, and a regular piece of paper used as a packet), could you please send me any extra peppadew seeds you don't need? I am hooked on those things and LOVE them lol Thanks, if you can :)
