You can get the "right" height for you, and instead of getting up to press so often, you just twirl on your chair.<br />I havent tried standing to srw but it sounds lile a great idea!!Susi Solérhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776337736366614382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-77860829030824821642015-06-10T08:44:06.935-05:002015-06-10T08:44:06.935-05:00This looks like fun! :) I like the L shape configu...This looks like fun! :) I like the L shape configuration. In my case I sit on a swivel office chair and have the ironing board behind me, and just spin when needed.

This is just too fun to pass up. I like your suggestion about sorting out fabrics that don't fit the mood of the bright happy category. That will help me feed my 'give away' pile.

Made me scrappy-happy and think I'll join in in my own slow way. Just looks fun!!! Don't know how far, fast or big I'll go with it, but happy to be playing with my scraps. Sure made raiding the guild scrap table fun on Saturday. I'll keep you posted. :)<br /><br />Hugs from the Big Apple!!!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10485187454551711492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-60535730100662500432015-06-08T17:12:33.639-05:002015-06-08T17:12:33.639-05:00I would like to stitch along!I would like to stitch along!Sewcherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04370079244142959473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-55819639060487940262015-06-08T14:56:47.180-05:002015-06-08T14:56:47.180-05:00Oh I'm tempted/Hug BambiOh I'm tempted/Hug Bambievajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655288746165190657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-28453187262415060912015-06-08T14:55:56.400-05:002015-06-08T14:55:56.400-05:00How much trimming up do we need to do after sewing...How much trimming up do we need to do after sewing the two scraps together and pressing?<br />cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275202767070806650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-84619187937785207152015-06-08T11:36:58.764-05:002015-06-08T11:36:58.764-05:00I think I'm in!

Sewed for 90 minutes than pressed and cut for 90 minutes which resulted in the start of my own scrap vortex quilt.

Like Linda of Flourishing Palms I will have to do a little cutting first, I have been trying to get into a scrap system but not made any head one and a lot of my pieces are too big. I can see a little stack and wack while movie watching this week.
