My Very Own Craft Binder!

In a previous post I gave you all a teaser as to what craft I've been working on lately. To recap the teaser was a stack of magazines...quilting magazines to be exact.

I got these quilting magazines from a dear family friend who loves quilting with a passion. I just recently started sewing and quilting (I made my first quilt a few months ago for my sis-in-law's baby shower you can view some of the quilt here) last fall. After showing Shirley the quilt I had been working on, she have me a HUGE stack of quilting magazines. As any quilting newbie would be, I was excited and a little overwhelmed with the sweet gift. I honestly didn't know where I was going to store the magazines (I hate magazine clutter), how I was going to read through each one, or accomplish each craft. That's when I decided to create my own craft binder!

In this craft binder, I would only keep the quilting patterns and directions that I liked and recycle the leftover magazines. Yes, this would mean having to flip threw all the magazines, but after two weeks I finally got it finished! I also decided that any other crafts I find along the way - it doesn't have to be sewing/quilting related - would be put into this binder as well. I was so happy that I came up with this idea because not only would this free up magazine clutter, but I would now have my own craft binder that I could go to choose crafts that I may want to make and I know I would like any of them because I chose them all by myself!

Here is my craft binder appropriately titled: "Sew Little Fabric, Sew Little Time...A Craft Book By Brittany Morgan"
