Wow, way up North!

 Great night watching the 

Aurora borealis dance over

our small Alberta town tonight!


Got some great advice to
 use the night setting 
on the camera to get
 stunning pictures even
if the view is muted 
due to city lights


Spent some time stitching lots

 of string squares,


 cleaning up scraps and

 finding yet another

project that has to be made!

A large bin of scraps

 is almost used up!!

I went from this bin, 3/4 full,


                                down to 3 small boxes , sorted!



Feeling pretty happy about that!

It is also a great fall day here, 

woke up to ...snow! 



It didn't last, but Mother Nature 

seems to be changing the season 

slowly for us. 


                      Now here is planning for the week ahead!

                      

                        1. Packing up 4 quilts for health care 

                           workers.  

                        2. Prep a new project or 2 just for fun

                      

  Last week's leftovers are  getting added 
 to this week's plan:

                        3. Finish up the last floral

                        4. This small top will get a scallop border after 
                            quilting and already has three places to be!
                             It is making me fall back in love with 
                            scrape white backgrounds!🎃

                        5.  The corners did get mitered! This baby 
                            quilt from left over blocks will get 
                            a fuzzy blanket back and no scalloped edge.
                               
                        6. Get that block chain pieced !

                              1. My walking buddy brought 

over 2 gorgeous quilts 

for donation to Health care workers. 

Both classic patterns.

She has a fantastic eye for 

color and design. 




2. I found a wonderful pattern 

at Andover fabrics, thanks to

The Objects of Design.

It is bright 5" squares with 

 white and black backgrounds.

Mine will be done with

scrap sashing . 



       3. The last floral is under the needle 

today and the binding is ready. 

4 & 5. These two scrap quilts are

ready and waiting to be layered.

6. That poor block chain has got 

to come off the wall! It is 

crypto currency themed 

so it should be moving!!

Have a great week !

Stay safe and sew on!

  4. Snow -- here in Northern Virginia we're expecting an 80 degree day tomorrow. Could we please have some weather in the middle of snow and 80? Love that you made a major dent in your string scraps. Good luck moving your projects ahead this week.

  5. We had brief rain the other night here in east central Oregon State. The next day when I drove to town I could see the Blue Mountains above the town showing off their fresh coat of snow! That is early for here. We may be in for a long cold winter after this long very hot summer!

  6. Thanks for the picture of the northern lights. Beautiful! Your list is impressive, and whenever I see a blog with a list, it motivates me to write down the list that is in my head. Maybe if I wrote it down, I would get to more of it? Hugs, Judy

  7. I'd love to see the Aurora Borealis in person. How lucky you are! It's not luck though but great planning that has turned that large box of scraps into quilts! Kudos to you for an amazing job in reducing your stash. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
