Getting Close !

 APQ   hosted a sew along 

with lots of strips and lots

of scraps a few years ago. 

 Well, between  working, 

weddings, retiring  etc. ,

 I missed the party! 

A friend inspired 

me to make one anyway. 

A great weekend was spent 

digging out strips, making 

sets and trimming.

The center is coming along

nicely.  



The design boards 

I made from a Christmas 

candy box, really worked 

well to organize the pieces

for sewing. 



This little squirrel popped up right 
in the middle so I had to take care of it!
My small ironing board was just 
too ratty so I recovered it! 



Some reclaimed felt from a 
carrier bag added a
 bit of padding and 
heat retention.
Then I dug thru my specialty fabrics 
and found some enlightening quilt fabric. 
Ta da!  Cheerful and effective!







Fall is just around the corner, 
and inspiration is hiding 
in every box and bag. 
We  need to focus on 
creating and caring for 
those around. 
Stay safe and sew on!
