A great time sewing !
Encouraged by my good friend KS,
and some blog friends too,
I sewed up a pile of strips into
piano key sets for future borders.
I needed a place to store these
parts so I pulled out a box of
pink strips thinking I would
do a jelly roll race.
But the strips were already
sewn up into coin units!
Sew today, I will inventory and
enhance and plan a pink top!
The bits will go into some sort of
crumby 12 1/2 " block to clear out that
bin. This may be my first pink squirrel!
I am also making great progress
on my block chain top.
Since it is raining kittens and
puppies here, it is a
great day for finishing
up some projects.
Now back to the pink.
There were enough 2 1/2"strips
to make this little top!
I stitched it up during a
guild zoom meeting. I added the
dark pink rectangles for interest.
The talk was all about quilt batting.
Very informative!
However , I now have another
top to quilt up!
I did manage to make up
some mac and cheese for the kids.
fried onions at the store , yummy!
They had a great hiking
adventure but came home to
a leaking dishwasher, a broken
washing machine and a soggy floor.
After hiking in to a wintery cabin for
a week it was a shock to come home
to broken appliances!
Just got a note that the dishwasher is
fixed so things are getting better there!
Have a great day sewing!
Oh, and I found this great little
arrangement for half squares to
use as my stop and go quilting!
Stay safe and sew on !

Great job on the pink top. I too like that arrangement of hat. I may have to scrounge in my scraps to see if I can come up with enough hat of the same size to make one of those blocks to remember the block. Thanks for sharing it. Hope all the appliances are easily fixed.
ReplyDeleteA pink squirrel and lots of other pieces and parts. Sorry about the mess at home after your getaway! I hope you find more time to stitch your frustrations away, Deb.
ReplyDeleteI love how organized your scraps are! And the pink squirrel is coming along nicely. The coin units are great, I'm sure they'll make an outstanding quilt.
ReplyDeleteI like the addition of the dark rectangle for interest on your pink top. Bummer about the appliances--that was a sad homecoming!
ReplyDeleteThey are resilient, thank goodness! And they are very handy so between the kids and
ReplyDeletemy spouse they can repair almost everything!
Stay safe and sew on !
