Counting Fabric Pieces

 Two years flew by since the last Bayside Quilters quilt show.

So what that means for me is pulling multiple boxes
off my shelves of pre-sorted blocks to start counting.

 While there is no set procedure for how fabric is

to be presented for sale at the show boutique

I came up my own way of organizing the fabric. 

Count blocks

 Tie nicely with ribbon

Insert in plastic bag

Write tag

Seal with tape

Repeat over and over and over again! 

 This display shows all my leftover fabric squares from various projects

that I just didn't need.  In the quilting world they are fondly called

'orphan's'.  I'm hoping my orphan blocks find good home.

 I did have to scratch my head in trying to figure out the

logical way to sort these into packages for sale.

 Getting the packages ready for the sale took me a good

4 days of counting - packing and stacking.

 Yes, I do have a stiff neck.

 Now I just have to turn them in.

Goldie is in charge of organizing the boutique for the 

quilt show so for fun I came up with a name.

Here is what I'm donating to
