One of the huge frustrations for me is not being able to find something, so organization definitely helps with productivity.<br /><br />I love your towel that you're weaving.

I also hate to have to hunt stuff down while in the middle of a mojo burst, it's a mood killer. I like the bolt idea.DEEP END OF THE LOOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01010018190905285835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850972750087291265.post-68837724429747098532011-01-24T03:40:50.628-08:002011-01-24T03:40:50.628-08:00Nancy, I should have taken a photo of in process! ...Nancy, I should have taken a photo of in process! While it's neat when I go in and neat when I leave, but I can create quite a mess in the throes of work.<br /><br />Valerie, I'm wondering if this flock of Columbia from WA state I believe will show up in another line of yarn. I can dream.....<br />You're going to have so much fun with the glut of room and the new loom. Reorganizing can be joy when you are installing something new.<br /><br />Jeri, Yes, the 8/2 cotton towel warp is on Hannah the Louet Hollandia. She's a lovely loom.<br /><br />Sharon, my yarn stash is prodigious, fabric one pretty modest. As far as being a seamstress of any accomplishment, just wait until I blog about the Walkabout Vest. Quite a challenge it's been and I'm not sure in a good way, but THANK YOU!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850972750087291265.post-42394526111093993902011-01-23T21:25:44.851-08:002011-01-23T21:25:44.851-08:00Your stash boggles my mind, but your organization ...Your stash boggles my mind, but your organization is even better.

Where to start?<br /><br />You're right...the current Marr Haven stuff isn't Columbia. I've had that roving for a number of years...I'm betting they have shifted their flock to the finer breeds....or the roving was from another farm. Will have to see if I still have the info on where in Michigan the roving came from.<br /><br />Love that coat/jacket pattern. That fabric will make a great spring coat!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226371437929271405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850972750087291265.post-69338119322441422692011-01-23T06:33:23.679-08:002011-01-23T06:33:23.679-08:00Great post!

My sewing skills are improving, but I still have a long long way to go. <br /><br />tinsel, oh, my pin organizing. I only have two sizes and I've kept them apart. I wish I could find nice glass head pins or better, pattern weights for cutting out patterns.<br />Glad the creativity is on high!<br /><br />LA I am still up in the air about all the fat quarters I have and other smaller pieces left over from quilting. <br />They are thrown in a tub under my sewing table.<br /><br />Gjeani, I love that red and white towel too, my favorite so far. The vest I'm making is challenging right now. Don't know how it will come out, but since the fabric is leftover, I won't feel bad about it becoming a failed experiment if that should happen.<br /><br />bspinner, It may be a while before that fabric is actually cut. I want the coat to be as close to perfect as possible and I will spend a fair amount of time on a muslin .<br /><br />Peg, the sewing room looked like a whirlwind hit it yesterday, but I did manage to tame it back for some work today.<br /><br />Maggie, I visited with my fabric regularly. It was hard to wait but paid off with 40% off the cost, same with the lining, which was almost as expensive.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850972750087291265.post-49542618940697388872011-01-23T01:22:29.531-08:002011-01-23T01:22:29.531-08:00That red coat is going to be yummy.
