Recycle and Organize, My Dears!

Last year, I started saving these organic

spinach containers for the purpose of starting

vegetables seeds.

I collected way more than I needed.

 

They just kept stacking up in my pantry

until one day...

 a friend dropped off 3 black trash bags full

of yummy, delicious, unwanted fabric!

"I have no use for these, could you use them?"

 Questioned my friend.

"Could I use them?"

"You bet my dear!"

 

I replied with excitement.

 

As I unpacked the fabrics, some were small pieces,

some were many yards of the same fabric, some were 

beautiful and some not so beautiful.

The "uglies" I put back in the bags and sent them

off to a land far far away.

The "keepers" were sorted and organized.

This is when my recycled containers came in handy.

I reached for those spinach containers and...

brushed up on my kindergarten skills of

sorting and organizing.

Look at those tasty reds... 

 

and these soothing blues...

and these sunshiny yellows...

 

(oops, it's either time for a new camera or

time for some photography lessons.  Some of

my yellows turned pink during the photographing

process)

and pretty pinks...

 

and perky purples...

I won't show you my greens...

you know, the camera didn't cooperate again.

Don't they look kind of spiffy now?

Now they're ready to stack and place in the

pantry, oops, I mean the sewing room, waiting

to be sewn into a gorgeous quilt.

My larger pieces were sorted and organized into

my larger bins.  Perhaps I can show you some of

those next time.

Until then,

Have a blessed weekend my friends,

Christa
