Scrappy Wednesday


All of the 16-patches are made, but I need twelve 3x4 blocks.  So the 1.5" squares have been dumped on the table again.  When I find 4 like pieces, they are set into groupings for the Easy Breazy leader/ender project.

  
I have quite a pile of the white scraps pieces bundled so I can pair up with the tiny squares.  I'm not really working these as leader/enders, but doing up 10-12 at a time.  Right now I have 50 blocks done and have another 10 ready to whip up at the machine .  This is a year long project, so I might set this aside for a couple of months.


Poor Moe got caught outside in the storm from yesterday afternoon until the blow over the next late afternoon.  Well, he must have held up in one of the barns and sure he 'fed' himself.  I gave him a special treat and lots of pets & scritches.  Then he hunkered down in the middle of my work.  It will make me slow down the process, but sometimes we need that nudge to take it slow.

So many areas were hit hard with storm Isaias and NY was in the eye for some time.  While areas around us had extensive damage and power outage, we stayed 'lit' and hopefully damage free - I won't know until I assess things later.

Stay Safe and Healthy,

Monday Making


Today I am going to play with a new pattern.  This is another design by Lorna @ SewFreshQuilts called Triceratops.


These are large blocks (with some tiny pieces) and I need to make 6.  This will help clear some things out of my FG totes.

Hope every one along the East Coast stays safe as Hurricane Isaias rolls on up.  We were on tornado watch last night.

Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

OMG - August 2020


The OMG has been so helpful in progressing a project or lately, getting that 'to-be-quilting' pile tackled.  I will use August OMG to get a top quilted so I can set aside for donation to the Wounded Warriors Winter Games.


This is held in Windham, NY at the local ski resort and many of the local quilds donate so each participant receives a quilt as a thank you.
The Games are still on schedule, but we shall see.  I'd still like to have this one ready.


AND I am so happy that by using OMG, I now have one empty large tote!  Of course there are two more that need emptying.

Sewingly Yours,
Sharon
