Makower UK LTD – I had not heard of this one. These are whole quilts not BOM’s.
Andover Fabrics: Quilt Designs
RJR Fabrics. I had heard of this one and looked at it before.
Angies’s Bits ‘n Pieces – BOM’s
Fraser Valley quilters Guild BOM’s
Jinny Beyer Studio – I have gone to her site many times to look around. Don’t you just love that fancy thimble she sells!
I got some things put away in my sewing room today. I have been going through so many things. I have all my books on the book shelf which I moved to under the quilting frame right up against the wall – it is out of the way and I can sit on the floor to get books. Before I had it in the corner of the room with the sewing table in front of it. It was very hard to get to the books I always had to move the sewing table to get to it. This way I can just sit under the quilting frame and look at books! LOL what can I say – small room. By moving the book case it makes the end of the room with the sewing table in the corner less crowded.
I have a plastic box right now about half full of things I do not use or are duplicates of things — how did that happen?
I have one other big plastic box to go through still that has so many odds and ends in it. I really do not want to keep the box in here and I will really need to go through all this stuff and see what is keep-able. I have found that I only drag that box out from under the cutting table about once every 3 or 4 months so really needs to be gone through. I would like to keep some better project boxes under the table instead – one project in each box that I am currently working on. Like one for the second Dear Jane that is a work in progress and one for the simple quilt I am taking along with me in the camper.
So many picture frames with family photos in them. They had taken up almost an entire shelf and lots of wall space. I need to go through them, some I will keep others will get put away — too many! I also have two drawers in the cutting table they are a mess and I don’t know what is in them anymore. They also need to be organized. I will wait to put up photos until I am done — it really won’t look a lot different.

Hi Karen, Those fancy thimbles on Jinny Beyer’s website are actually made by a lady named T.J. Lane. You should check out her website http://www.thimbles2fit.com . She has a very interesting collection of different thimbles. I have used one of her thimbles for over five years now, and I love it. Actually, I own two. All the thimbles and other sewing tools that she makes are true works of art. I just thought that I would share the information with you, given that you mentioned the thimble. Happy Stitching! Jay
Thank you very much for all the nice links. My printer is warm
And the projects-I-wanna-do-list just became a bit longer 
.-= Annika´s last blog ..Det närmar sig slutet =-.
Isn’t it fun going through all the stuff?? How many times did you say “Oh I remember that!” or “Why did I buy that?” LOL.
Crispy
glad everyone else likes all those free pattern sites too.
yes Crispy I am wondering “Why did I buy that” also – I have a couple pieces of fabric especially that I am wondering that question – also a couple tools that did not get used or one time and didn’t like it.
the thimbles are beautiful! pricey but beautiful
