Well , a birthday week,
lots of stitching, organization
and sorting! Busy time all around!
Beautiful flowers, tasty homemade cupcakes and
lots of visits made it a wonderful weekend.
(quilt everything that falls off the shelf),
got me this week and a stack actually
fell down while I was on a zoom meeting!
The pile was yellow tho so, at least it was
this month's color!!
so organization and some good music
took over. I rearranged, putting the fat
quarter-sized piece stacks closer to where
they can be used. This of course, just means
lower shelves! I think I have a few more cycles
of Rainbow Scrapping here. Each cubby has
four stacks of chunk piles! Sew on!
Large backing pieces that
were taking up shelf space, were measured, refolded,
put in a bin and a snippet put onto a reference sheet.
I can easily choose backing fabric with out unpacking
and remeasuring, yay!
Some droopy wood shelves were flipped and
mixed color yardages stacks were reorganized.
All in all a rewarding afternoon of organization and sorting!
Then I got to stitching up some yellow crumbs blocks.
That lead to a resort and count of my block bank crumb blocks.
I seem to have accumulated 55 -12 1/2" crumbs squares
of various colors! Forty nine squares will make a nice
84" square queen sized quilt.
Hmm an new top may come into being soon!
My RSC top got a mellow yellow row with the
neutral border added. All ready for next
months color there!
Getting on to my OMG -one monthly goal,
I pulled out batting and backs
and got two large quilts pinned up. Some large pieces
of batting got stitched up and two more twin quilts
were ready to get pinned up!!
Woot woot! Now for
some intense time quilting up those sandwiched quilts!
A birthday visit from the pipeline couple got me inspired
to clear off that layered bulletin board. Wow, there
were surprises under those layers! I removed 4 quilt tops and
found this! It is interesting how some items are
no longer important after aging a few years!
I found this cute little Hawaiian shirt.
The buttons are so tiny! I don't think I will make another of these!
This paper pieced pattern might be great for a
weekly project to get ready for the holidays! Such
cute little blocks!
I even found a bag of western shirt accents that
I planned to use for geocache prizes one summer.
I need to get into that to explore the countryside!
Now I can go back to using my bulletin board as
design wall without too many treasures behind.
I want to finish this post with a few pictures of a
support quilt made by my daily walking partner.
She put this together in support of the Ukraine
and it is off to raise relief funds.
Her Thursday group was doing a kaleidoscope/stack
and wack with a beautifully colored fabric.
surrounded by pieced arcs of color.
