The Stabilizer Holder in action

 Hello, everyone.

I hung up the stabilizer holder and loaded it up! (Used a more utilitarian hanging method than the pattern, it doesn't bother me to see a naked dowel.)


The round "cans" of stabilizer rolls fit (almost) perfectly. Only one or two of the thick ones need to be eased into their pocket. The shadows on the right are from the thread spool racks on the adjacent area. 

This freed up part of the tiny shelf where the stabilizers were previously stuffed. Though I do need to scrounge around the house for an unclaimed basket for loose bits of things that are still there so nothing falls out the open back of the kit shelf.

On another note, last fall the sewing club had an iron-on applique project and I didn't finish it at the time. Things were just busy that month. It sat in the closet in its project bag for lo these many moons and recently was pulled out and finished.


Very fall-y, don't y'all think? It's spending its days on the kitchen table between meals for a little while, then it will go into storage until next year. 

For the interested readers, there is outline quilting around the pumpkin pieces, done with the walking foot, not freestyle. The pumpkin segments were outlined with a decorative stitch on the sewing machine in orange thread. And the binding is a straight grain strip cut from another orange blend and sewed on by machine. The runner was a project featured by the Heat n Bond people
