I also love Tupperware

My temporary job/project is in Clarence St in the city, and a nice big Officeworks is nearby.  So I pop in every now and again because I love, love, the colourful shelves of pens and markers, and the plethora of office "stuff" you can get there.  I also like Bunnings - not so pretty but good for "stuff."  So when I saw this sweet mini filing cabinet in cool colours, I instantly thought it would be great for fabric. part completed squares, templates etc. etc.

I didn't  buy it, nor the 10 drawer version, EVEN THOUGH it comes in my favourite shade of GREEN.  But I did want to.

No progress on quilting worth mentioning.

Finally one mystery quilt down and only a few more to go..

Well I have finally finished the Mystery quilt, not sure about the final colour, and I needed so much that it has a dye discrepancy as I had to buy more material, but it was a great challenge and I so enjoyed doing the whole of the quilt and finding new techniques that I hadn't used before.

Now only have about 10 more quilts to finish, but slowly getting there. May even have some show and tell this coming visit. Finishing this many quilts includes the quilting myself (one currently being hand quilted the others will be by machine. Well except this one, it is sooooo big that I don't think I could get it all through the sewing machine. It also deserves a better photo.
 It is mostly Anna Maria Horner and a mix of nearly all her collections. I hadn't started quilting when the beautiful social climber was first out so I was very happy when it returned and hopefully the yellow goes well and it it is better in real life.
Denny, I'm even going to try your labels so thanks for the post.  May have to wait until the husband is out as he is very precious with his printer, as we have been through at last count, 3.
Now for some appliqué. trying a new technique on the machine as I am so far behind I wanted a few quick fixes. We will see
