In my January 16th post, I said that I will post about my decluttering activities at least once a month. I hope that by the end of the year, I will have accomplished a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have done a lot of decluttering in the past month, but mostly in other parts of my home other than my studio. I’m happy to say that in my studio, I have maintained the decluttering I did in January. I’m much better at putting things away after each project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson to be learned – I just spent an hour searching through the cupboards and drawers in my studio looking for a small quilt I finished in January. Eventually I found it in a stack of shipping envelopes. I’m pretty sure that happened when I was decluttering! So the lesson is to be careful when moving things around during a decluttering session.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That reminded me of a big project I did last year and did not post about. If I recall, it all started because I was looking for a quilt and couldn’t find it. I had been thinking about this project for some time, but had been putting it off because I know it would take a long time. I started in March 2021 and I think it took a couple of months to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project was to organize where all my quilts were stored – and make a record!<\/strong> – so I could find them easily in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I pulled all my quilts out of their various storage places, and sorted them by size. There were about 90 of them. It took me a few days to do this, but I’m really happy with the result. I sorted them into 3 categories – small, medium and large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small-sized – 15″ x 15″ or smalle<\/strong>r – these are in a green cloth bag. There are 33 of these, and room for more in the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
