Scrappy Days Ahead

 

I've been handling some other things that kept me away from the blog.  I need to play with scraps.  This is a mock up of what I would like to use to eat up the over-stuffed 2" square barrel.  Some easy, no think, chaining thru the machine for the day.

Then I need to catch up on the Temecula Monday Mini blocks.  One of my RSC21 green blocks to be done (leader/ender).  And we finally met again with the guild - was a delight to see everyone and there was a fabulous show&tell.  The members gave me quiet the list of mini blocks to catch up on.

 Staying with our quilting history theme, I did a program on the history of the pincushion and then taught a little 'make & take' project.  I modified the tutorial from Polka Dot Pineapple - there are a lot of Golf Tee Pincushion tutorials out there.  Quick, cute, and fun for National Craft Month.

I've pulled some scraps to start working on a project for the up coming Hop - Salt & Sand.  We are being teased with some warmer weather, but the Nor'East is known for those late snow storms.  This project should be a good perk me up, looking for Spring.

Looking forward to some serious play time with my machine,

Sewingly YOurs,

March OMG

 

I'm making the OMG post on the wire.  The items of things breaking down included my camera, so was waiting on deliver on a new one.  AND TA-DA - it arrived just now.

My goal is to get the Court House quilt quilted, bound and labeled for March

Please be sure to check out all the lovelies at the LINK UP.

Scrappy Wednesday

 

I've pulled this project off the shelf - sitting for far too long.  Actually it's been over two years since I touched this.  I was hunting for more cheddar at the time and it got put aside - forgotten.  

Since the gals are coming back for our sewing days, this is a good project to work on as it is easy to pick up/lay down as help is needed or not needed.  I need to lay out all the 'tiles' and graph layout to see where I am at.  It is getting closer and that might be an even bigger push to complete this project.

I'll link up with PAT - her new stitching share link.  Why don't you join along.  And if her blog is new to you, take the time to browse.  She works with a lot of different fabrics, wonderful colors and patterns - and not afraid to play with her new long arm.

And after a long night of wind, snow, and sub-zero , this reminded me:

Monday Making

 

If you are new here, I find using BETH'S Monday Making a good way to start the 'week' off.  It gives me a base and pick up something in progress or to even start something new.  Be sure to visit the link up and even join in.

I want to move this project into the next step.  All the blocks are made - if you remember these were scraps from my daughter (and some ironically scraps I had originally given her - now smaller).  I plan getting this into a flimsy and push-push-push, get the borders on.  Maybe it will even get quilted this month, if the 'squirrels' stay away.

Sewingly Yours,

Sharon
