Count Me in, 8s & 10s

 Woohoo! It's turning out to be a good 

morning here in the sewing room.

The bottom of a rabbit hole,

8s x10s are coming along nicely.

The real name for this pattern

is something like 6 and 8s.

I'm using an 8" and 10" variation of my own,

solely because it worked with what I have.

Strings of various widths are edged

 by black on  two opposing sides.

Here is my progress.

I have enough for about 1 1/2 twin

sized quilts.  I'm aiming for 2 twins. 

Here is my source.

A bin of string/scraps and other 

hidden treasures.  Look what I found!

A project ready to go:

A dazzling pile of chunks:

(look at this one!)

and a raft of light/low volume strips

I'm going to be stitching up the blocks into tops 

as soon as I get the dividing

black strip on the last few edges.

Stay safe and sew on !

Ohh! A Favorite Find!

 Another winning streak continued for me with a

vendor prize at a quilt retreat. I used my gift 

certificate to buy this little goodie.

Here it is all set up.

I am hoping it will keep me from having to do

a clean up on the sewing table every time I get a drink.

This contraption holds a drink, and has a side hook

for a thread catcher, sewing scraps or even some garbage.

I was going to pack it away in the retreat supplies,

but I realized I do more spilling at home

 than I ever do at a retreat!

Here it is all set up with not bag as

there are waste baskets nearby.

A little homage to the US here, as it is election day today!

A new plan came up and 

now there is a baggie hooked on to collect

dog bed scraps.  

There is a debate on using scraps for

bed filling but some vets find the 

beds useful for recovering animals.

A win for everyone!

Happy stitching
