I was so thrilled at this great find that I got it all set up, then decided where I wanted to keep it, which meant clearing out a spot with a pile of misc. stuff all sitting on a broken basket. So I started clearing out the basket and found, among other things, a shop sample that was not finished! I made myself finish putting all the other stuff away, then got busy this afternoon and made this cute little quilt. It is from the Take 5 Goes to Charm School Pattern using Look and Learn fabrics from American Jane. I quilted it with C&C Gumball variegated thread in a Meander Pattern. Then I used a bias binding with tape measures on it - such a cute finish!

Fun Find of the Day
I found something fabulous yesterday while I was browsing in Bi-Mart. I've been thinking of making a client file for my alteration business so I can better keep track of things. I was looking at the envelope files, but thought they were a little expensive for being just a plain brown, nothing fancy organization tool. Then, I spotted this lovely sage green faux suede box with a lid! All ready for hanging folders to go in. For only $5.99! Add another $7.00 for the hanging folders and I am all set for only a little more cash than that ho-hum folder! As excited as I get about these things you would think I would be a lot more organized than I am. Now I just have to be faithful about keeping my files up. I have piles of stuff here and there that I'll be able to store away now, though!

You made that in an afternoon?! Wow... it's beautiful. Love that filing system too. It will be a pleasure keeping stuff up to date I bet!
