Of course, before I can do anything, I have to sort.
The benefit of sorting is that you find things you had forgotten you had. So this gave me the chance to look with fresh eyes at a few pieces of fabric I unearthed. I found three of these butt-ugly nine patches
just in time to redo one and bring the other two originals to my upcoming UFO class. What was I thinking??
On the other hand, I also came across some printed pieces I had forgotten about. Maybe I should think about doing something with them? Quite a variety -- and this is the tip of the iceberg
This was deconstructed screen printing.
Have no idea, but think this might have been soy wax batik that I then discharged and screeenprinted on. It's a mystery to me.
Oh, yes. This was a demo piece from a class I did eons ago on screenprinting with freezer paper stencils and who knows what else.
Another piece of shibori.
It the meantime, I have my sorting/ironing/organizing work cut out for me. And it's the best way for me to become inspired. Today was a start.

There are a lot of treasures showing up here!
One of my favorite quotes: "One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries." --A.A. Milne
I agree with both Gerrie and Rachel. The Milne quote is so very very true.
Take care.....and see you soon!
Oh I do love Rachel's Milne bit and agree w Gerrie.
I wish I could find time for those treasures. Alas, today I need to make eight 9 patch blocks for a group charity quilt, but I hope to enliven them somehow.
I wish this was the sort of thing I found when I sorted through my boxes. There should be plenty to inspire you by the time you have finished sorting and ironing.
