Not an interesting photo - but it makes me happy. With the last snow-in, I decided that I would tackle that tub of baggies and see what was there.
Lots of HSTs - some sewn and some not - none trimmed. So to work.
Here they are. A container of 2.5" HSTs that I think I will use with a Sweet16 project. A container of 3.5" HSTs with some 4-patches for another project. And the ones 'down under' haven't been trimmed yet, but they are going to be used together with another project. I have three quilts semi kitted up for some quick play.
And I found this in another baggy - a few bits of my Morris Apprentice - thought that was all gone - with some other bits. After sorting thru 3 boxes and 3 large bags of scraps plus the HST trimming, I thought I needed to play for the afternoon.
A few small log cabin blocks - pulled some old left over bindings for sashing and border. It is sandwiched and ready for quilting - the batting was even two small pieces that I stitched together to use up. An afternoon of play.
It was so lovely to see all the 'Let's Book It' link ups and I do hope that by having the photos up with links brought more visitors to you. Our first winner for 2015 is lucky #13 - Deb@A Simple Life Quilts. I will be in contact for mailing information so these can head right out.
We are in for another snow storm, so I may just get a start on February's 'Let's Book It' project.
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

You've been busy. Congrats to the winner. Hope you don't get too much more snow.
Hi Sharon wow you amaze me with your projects,you are very inspiring my friend,hope you stay safe during the storm.xx
great job!
You've been busy! I love reading your blog because you are so inspiring. The one good thing about these snow storms is that many of us are getting lots of sewing done. I just celebrated an empty tub as well and it feels so good! You mentioned trimming and that reminds me that I have a container of scrap HST that need trimmed - maybe in the mornin. We started getting snow around 3:00 this afternoon and it's just about done, but not before another 5-6" accumulated. School has been delayed by 2 hours tomorrow, so I just might get those HST trimmed before I have to leave. I love it when I play with fabric in the mornings. It just makes my day so much brighter. :-)
How wonderful to have all of those pre-made HST's, I'd love to find a baggie full of them. Congrats to the winner!
I get excited when I empty a tub too! Love your little log cabin quilt! :0)
That is lovely. You know how to keep yourself busy while ending up with beautiful results.
Funny things that make quilter's happy! Empty tubs, empty spools of thread, the final cut for the binding and aha a quilt completion! Good for you. We haven't had much snow, but January for me has still been pretty productive--do grey skies count towards wanting to stay indoors? :)
Amazing what can be transformed from a bag of scraps!! Suck a cute little wallhanging!
That's gotta be a good feeling. And a great little quilt to boot. Stay warm and dry with all that snow. We're supposed to get a deluge of rain, but it hasn't started yet.
Wow, you have really been busy! Congratulations to the winner.
Congratulations!
Wonderful job of organisation. Sweet little log cabin quilt.
Very productive afternoon! Sweet HSTs. Congratulations Deb!
Yes. I heard another bad storm is heading your way. Stay warm and safe, dear.
You REALLY know how to use up every scrap you have! Lovely little quilt. :)
Yeah to you. Progress is always good. Keep warm!
Wow, way to work through those HSTs. Your mini quilt turned out beautifully! Play seems to equal progress in your sewing room.
Wow! you sort scraps and still have time to play! What an inspiration!
I'm behind on my blog roll - thanks so much Sharon! Focusing on UFOs pays off in more ways than one right? And I absolutely LOVE seeing the bottom of bins too. Such a sense of accomplishment.
Congrats to Deb... and Thanks to you Sharon.
Hope you have lots more scraps to play with, since more snow is headed your way.
