After filling the bins, I decided to organize my messy, cat-pawed stash. There is something so relaxing about organizing fabric, and a new appreciation for my stash is gained in the process - although that did not keep me from ordering more fabric!
Doesn't everyone bake during 100 degree+ heat?
These are the potato crescent rolls I made last week - they were so good. I used this Land O'Lakes recipe and substituted a russet potato for sweet potatoes and left out the spices. This is a dependable recipe that I have used for years at Thanksgiving.
My playlist last week:
✔1. Sew backing for The Wedding Quilt - As Diann wondered, if I thought about it, does it count? I found two yards of fabric in my stash to add to the 4 yards I purchased two weeks ago, so that should be plenty to piece a backing. The solution hit me at 3:30am yesterday when Toby the cat woke me up and I couldn't get back to sleep!
✔2. Finish sewing rows together for RSS (Ruby Star Society) quilt - Although not finished,more rows were sewn together
✅3. Post about Moda Block Head block 16 - Posted here
Tomorrow we have to be at the hospital at 6:30am for cataract surgery for my right eye, while my left eye continues to amaze me with improved vision. So my playlist for the coming week is short:
1. Rest and recover
2. Do whatever I feel like doing
And now please share your list at the link below! And if you have time go visit others' blogs for inspiration or squirrel-spiration. 😁

Happy Tuesday, Linda. I hope all goes well with the 2nd surgery and wishing you a very speedy recovery. Your quilt room looks fabulous. It is always fun to reorganize fabric and sometimes rediscover some as well. I will definitely have to try the crescent rolls; they sound so interesting. Have a blessed week and thank you for hosting the link party.
ReplyDeleteYour studio looks wonderful Linda; so neat and organized. Fondling fabric and making everything tidy is so satisfying. Now I’m going to check the link for those potato crescent rolls. They look scrumptious. Good luck with the surgery and don’t forget your sunglasses. 😎
ReplyDeleteYour fabric cabinet is super colorful and organized, Linda.
ReplyDeleteThe potatoes bread looks delicious and. I love almost everything made with potatoes. But sure I will not bake under high temperature. Good lucky with the right eye surgery tomorow. I will be thinking on you.
I'm so glad your first surgery went so well and you are experience no set backs with your recovery. How exciting to have your other eye surgery tomorrow. By this time next week, you will be back to full vision and sewing away!
ReplyDeleteI don't bake in 100* weather, we don't have air conditioning in our house but we will in our new house! Baking will happen then for sure! Your rolls looked delicious, happy recovery!
I'm sure your surgery will be uneventful and successful.Wishing you a relaxing week and a reprieve from the heat. I, too, am going to check out the potato crescent recipe. I'm not a big bread baker but do love crescent rolls!!
ReplyDeleteYour reorganized stash looks so fun and appealing! I really like those clear bins. And, oh, those yummy rolls! I bet you're really ready to get that cataract surgery done tomorrow. I'll be thinking about you!
ReplyDeletehope the cataract surgery goes smoothly - and yes I bake in the summer too - not as much but I do - I guess we are spoiled with A/C and know the house will cool back off
ReplyDeleteThat is some sweet organizing! I pray your surgery goes well.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy organizing my fabric as well. And I think it's really important not just for tidiness but to *know* my stash. I get re-inspired with them all over again, too. The bread looks heavenly--oh do I love bread!!! Good luck tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI did a little fabric organizing yesterday too; it always makes me feel a bit better when things are put away. I have a similar recipe for those buns, but we call them butterhorns. My grandmother made them each Christmas. Hope your surgery goes well!
ReplyDeleteAll the best for the surgery. Love your fabric tidy up, looks great and I chuckled at the buying more. We all do it! Here we have dry July for alcohol where they don't drink, but I am trying to do no buy July. Ouch! Those rolls look absolutely delicious.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! Good luck tomorrow with your eye surgery. It will be amazing when your surgery is complete - just think how well you will be able to see! Hmm. Those acrylic bins look like they are a handy size for fabrics. I rarely go to Target - it just isn't convenient with non-stop road construction around their location. It might be worth the headache to check them out! Thank you for today's linky party. Rest sounds like just the ticket in this heat, especially after surgery. {{Hugs}} and healing prayers. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty organized stash! Sending you prayers for your surgery xx
ReplyDeleteOh that beautifully organized fabric stash! Every once in a while I'll straighten my stacks and pile them neatly back on the shelves. But all it takes is looking for one fabric to set it all a mess again. But for the day or two when it is neat -- awwwwwww. You are now on the way to recovery. I understand it takes about 2 weeks after the last eye is done for the eyes to heal. I'm in the position of whether I want to have mine removed now or wait for a bit still. Decisions, decisions....
ReplyDeleteWell so far it has been worth it for me. I am seeing sooooo much better than I did! Good luck with your decision.
DeleteGreat job with the shelf, beautiful and organised!! I enjoy organising my shelves every now and then too. Thanks for the recipe for your delicious rolls. They look so good! Wishing you a speedy recovery!!

Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteI like organizing of your fabric....it all looks so neat. Your Crescent Rolls look yummy. I bet they are really good with a slab of butter on them. Have a wonderful sewing week!
Yes, the butter is key for those rolls, both in the making and in the eating - lol!
DeleteI'm sure you'll be able to go twice as fast once your eye is healed, so you deserve a week off :)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to that Lisa! :D
DeleteI don't suppose you want to come organize my room too?
ReplyDeleteHaha I'd love to Marsha! Organizing is fun for me, especially doing someone else's. :D
DeleteOhhh How great does that look!!!! I love it!!!! and potato rolls.. oh my gosh - We need to be neighbors!
