Challenge #6, Tag and Other Stuff

I promise I will never NOT eat black eyed peas on New Year's Day! I thought I would try it to see if there is anything to the "luck" you get from eating them. HAH! BIG Mistake!!! I think the answer is yes!

Ok, on to other things. Nicole wanted pictures of sewing tables. Here it is. I know there are at least 15 things on here, because I think I have that many rulers on the end, lol.

I keep my projects in plastic containers. Open ones for current stuff that I intend to finish when I start them. (That's a laugh!) The ones with lids are usually the ones that I find myself working on a little at a time, and they go back into my closet periodically. There are some tools, pencils, paper, a fabric bowl full of some scraps that I will give to a friend of mine for applique when I get a few, some batiks I am working with, my poor challenge quilt, marked for row sewing and ready to go, and some more of the stuff I got at the quilt show. Several mats, some acrylic sheets I use to organize my piecing, a jar of peanuts in this nifty little twirling container I have, and my new rotary cutter that I adore. I probably missed something, but that is the general look of it at the moment.

I haven't found "the place" for some of the smaller stuff I picked up at the quilt show. That is why it is still on my work table. However, Lisa , I thought of you when I bought this pattern. This pattern came from Patchwork Place and the sample they made up of it was darling.


This is a book called EveryMonth and it is available here . I bought the pumpkin kit. These are really cute patterns.
This is Stir Crazy from Buggy Barn. I bought this book because of the rabbits and santas patterns. I am sure one of these years I will make them, :>)


I figure I will make the santa one with the scraps from the tree and present quilt I intend to make "soon".

And who couldn't resist these bunnies, lol.

These are some odds and ends of patterns and a couple of kits. The tree and snowman are also from the Jeri Kelly site.
My challenge quilt has had to take a backseat again this past week, but I am determined to have the top finished by the 28th. Hope I make it. All I need is 2 good days of sewing, surely I can find them somewhere before my clock runs out. Check out Nicole , Lisa , and Cindy for their progress. I am pretty sure they are all just about finished. It is me holding up the parade. Sorry, my friends, lack of black eyed peas! lol
And that is all I am up to for now. I had a very interesting day, but it is now 2 am. Tuesday has all the earmarks of another day like today, so I need some sleep. I hope this day is a wonderful one for everyone!

That table is just "my" kind of space -- lots of room to work, lots of stuff within reach! :D

By the way-you call that a mess? I'll show you a mess as soon as I can reach the bottom of the pile!

Black eye peas............YUCK!!!! My mom used to make us eat those. Momma doesn't live here anymore. LOL!!!
I made the Santas. I'll have to post a photo of them. We did the bunnies too at my shop. They are adorable. I love that book.
Your table is NOT messy!!

LOL - Does this mean you'll have bad luck for the entire year, or just enough to teach you a lesson?
Your work table is fascinating, lots of fun stuff!

Your table looks like a little piece of heaven to me! All those wonderful projects just waiting to be made! Love the patterns, especially the Stir Crazy book - I'm going to have to buy that one!
Thank you so much for sharing, Perry.
