Happy Friday Eve Reader!
This week’s video is all about how I’m organizing my WIPs so they actually keep moving.
Last week I asked how old your oldest WIPs were… and apparently, I’m in very good company.
Kim has a 41-year-old hand-pieced sampler that only needs binding.
Dorothy has a 15-year-old table topper—even though she doesn’t have the table anymore (honestly, I could see that happening to me).
Martha started a quilt in 1998 that still needs quilting.
Evelin also has a 15-year-old quilt waiting its turn.
So apparently letting projects “marinate” for a few years—or decades—is a perfectly normal part of quilting. But as you know, I've been trying to change that this year and actually move some of my WIPs forward!
In this week’s video, I’m showing the simple box system I’m using to keep my WIPs organized so they don’t disappear into the sewing room abyss.
But now I’m curious…
How do you store your WIPs right now?
Are you:
• neatly organizing them in project bins
• stacking them somewhere in your sewing room
• rediscovering them years later stuff in a bag?
Hit reply and tell me — I love hearing your systems (or lack of them).
If you’re trying to make progress on your WIPs this year, that’s exactly what we focus on inside The Quilter’s Clubhouse.

This was her second WIP finish of the year! WOO HOO! This was a pattern from Pat Sloan - March block a day 2025 free pattern! Great job Brenda!

Sewing Room Update
A couple weeks ago I shared with you I was going to work on this cute bear block. The company I work for makes baby quilts when expecting your first child, and their co-workers contribute a block. I am making the block for a co-worker as his contribution to the quilt! However, when I cut the pieces for the 6" size block - some of the pieces are 3/4" x 3/4" - I have NEVER used pieces this small. I got the block cut in our Clubhouse zoom last night. Hoping to get it sewed up tonight or tomorrow. Wish me luck. If you’ve sewn pieces this small before, hit reply and tell me your tricks.
