Whooping Friday


I didn't mean to fall silent, but that happens when I fall into a pile of scraps and start playing.  Remember I found a few 'teal' scraps in that drawer?  One partial project soon to be a bag.  I need to find a lining fabric from the shelf to finish this off.


Then the strips that probably were cut-offs from a backing and trying to use up that w/w from the past few quilts.


Then I remembered I had that cute Windham "CatNip" panel and chose the largest cat for this project.


It's a start to another bag and I should have just enough scraps left to make matching little zip bags to go with each.


I, also, got a start on piecing the string blocks into rows.  I was doing everything as leader/ender into the next project.  I'm surprised I didn't stitch the wrong part of a project into each.

All of these have been picked up as I am itching to get to that pile of 'to-be-quilted' items setting on the side table.  I know I have the whole month, but they keep calling out to me - plus, I have to keep shooing away furkids (that batting is such a comfy nap place).

My Mom took another fall so I am staying close to home - good time to quilt.

Sewingly Yours,
Sharon
