Scrappy Wednesday

Today I will work on the leader/ender blocks as my display board is stacked high and I keep knocking the piles over.  Yes, I went thru that stuffed baggy of scraps.  Some where used for parts for this project.

The rest of the bag was cut down into my scrap saver system.  I actually put the sqaures away a couple times before this last bunch - I was knocking them on the floor.  All the squares have gone into my barrels, but the strings will wait as I plan to cull thru that tote next for more scraps to feed the leader/ender project.

Sewingly Yours,

Monday Making

LoveLaughQuilt

After a long quilt session with the Black Bear Walking, I need some time to play before tackling the next quilt.

I'm digging and pulling the last of my Patrick Loose to use in the 'Ostrich Stretch' pattern by LORNA @ SewFreshQuilts.

The bodies will all be the black which is the Ginko Leave backing trim from the Bear and the ruf  The wings are a muted/mottle Patrick floral that I used long ago for a border (has a little bit of gold fleck thru it).  They are making a fun 'feather' look for these cute birds.  The beak and eyes are another PL fabric that I had just enough of.

It's to be another stormy day with our temps dropping several degrees for a few days - yeah!  Good day to stitch away with a little bit of humor.

Sewingly Yours,

Sharon

Whooping Friday

I'm whooping it up as the Black Bear quilt is finished.  This is Lorna @ SewFreshQuilts 'Bear Paw' pattern and the second quilt I have done with it.  I didn't use the border of small paw prints as it was requested to use RealTree fabrics (manufacturer of hunting appearal fabrics) in the outer borders.

All the bear paw blocks were done in scrappy fall color greens.  The grey sashing representing Birch Trees.  Finished 62" x 68" and glad to have this one crossed off the list.

Just a reminder that another inspiring Hop is just around the corner.  Hmmm, Fall and Winter projects - think I am done with extreme hot and humid weather?

I have my 'then' projects selected and I am working on the 'now' project.   I am not fond of working with Christmas fabrics so have selected a white/white Holly and Berry print to go with some seasonal polka dot - gotta love polka dot. 

Posting this off before the next storm takes the power again.

Sewingly Yours,

Sharon
