Show notes:
- Life Update/Talk about the earthquake and Hurricane Irene
- My staycation goals to organize things neglected around the home including my spice cabinet and fabric stash. Question: How often do you rotate the spices in your cabinet? How often do you rotate your fabric stash to keep them dust-free and know what you have?
- Discussed in regards to my stash is the IKEA Expedit, where I store it all...OK most of it, LOL.
- New quilter to cheer on: Giles at Touch and Sew blog - go check him out!
WIPs:
- Lighthouse Quilt: still on my design wall
- Sewing blocks together using the Joel Dewberry Heirloom fabrics in the citrine colorway and the Lemon Squares pattern on Fresh Lemons blog
