A nice way to eat up a lot of scraps. I even used several pieces of left over binding to finish this scrappy quilt.
I had just enough of this floral print with green leaves to back this sweet challenge. It will be one of my Guild Donation quilts.
And I am ready for the next HOP - Oh, I can't wait for some green!

It seems like both coasts are getting slammed the next few days. Depending on who is reporting our East Coast weather, it is a guess at how much snow we will see. Some say 3-6" while some go as far as over 20".
I plan on grabbing my jelly roll strips and play. It's been a long time since I touched my machine and pre-cuts will be easy on my still healing broken ribs.
Stay safe and stitch on,

A couple of days after my last post was the first of our series of snow storms, AND of course I took a fall. I knew not to put out my hands to stop!! But very bruised and a few broken ribs were the outcome. So I have been a bit laid up. SOOOOO glad I got all those quilts finished when I did.
I'm not able to cut fabric or lift a lot of weight, but I am pulling fabric for some projects. I have some Jelly Roll strips left overs that I will feed with my scraps for Carol's project. March is a long month, so I have plenty of time to work slow.
I am pulling fabric for a program for the next guild meeting - can't show or explain (some guild members follow me). Will follow up once the program is done.
We lucked out with the first two storms giving the valley just a few inches (but ice - hence the fall). This third storm did dump on us, but it was so warm that half was melted off by the time my son came to plow and shovel. A wet, heavy mess I couldn't handle.
Stay safe and keep stitching,
Sewingly Yours, Sharon
Thank You Joan at MooseStashQuilting for hosting this month's HOP. Sweet on You could be anything sweet, loving, pink, or what comes to your inspiration of the theme.
I just happened upon some very old little cross stitch pieces that never found a home in a project. Sweet kitties in the window that were to be a monthly 'themed' project and then the blogger offering these little free patterns disappeared. Hence I only had the four little hearts. Now was the time!

Quiltery-For the Love of Geese
Pinker n' Punkin Quilting & Stitching
And I am tickled Pink that all four quilts got quilted and bindings done. All the bindings came out of that scrap binding drawer as well - score! These are for our local guild's charity drive - collected in April, so I am well ahead of the game. I hope to get these photo'ed outside at some point, but the weather is not cooperating - windy and muddy!
There is a 5th quilt, but when I laid it out I decided that it could use some border work. Yes, you heard me - borders!. That means the backing and batt won't work for it now, but I am sure I will use those somewhere down the line.
Sewingly Yours,

Boy we got cold Phil!!! We went to a minus 44 one night Miss Kitty was delighted when I added a couple more blankets to the layers on the bed. We stayed warm, but my car froze up - for like 5 days. With some thawing and a jump start - she's purring again.
Actually our weather has warmed considerably so I can shed a layer or two, but I am using this February lull to create other layers. I pulled six of my smallest quilt tops from 'that' tote. I had just enough batting on the roll to be able to complete five though. It will keep me busy while I order another batt roll.
I hate to say, there were 30 quilt tops layered in 'that' tote. Well, I'll get a start - no a dent. AND another tote I found four quilts - two that need their binding attached - they were in the binding drawer - and two that have the binding on but need hand stitching down. Well, see how far I get during this short month.
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon
