Purple and Positive Thinking!

Flying into April and making some progress!

I had a great Friday getting the brakes 

replaced on the Jeepster.  All the unscheduled time 

let me leap ahead on a bunch of projects and I finally feel 

organized and my sewjo is renewed!! 

Follow that up with a surprise guild sew day, 

(a surprise to me, I forgot) and I got heaps done!

A bit of purple was sewn up into some 5x5s, 


the crumbs even ended up with their buddies!


The one pink finish has been joined by the 

accompanying Mom and Dad quilt laid 

out on the work table and ready to be pinned.



I even got a table full of gifted scraps/larger bits is sorted and 

ready for filing. A great day to be in the sewing room!


A few small successes and some sunshine can really 

improve a mood and give you back your sewjo!

I've made a nice stack of green log cabins, 

all sorted into groups of 10 and marked with a clip.


 I even managed to keep the cut-offs to a minimum. 


A big bag built up for dog beds but 

there has been a bit of controversy

over the stuffing being eaten by  

the rescue dogs and causing blockages. 

So I will continue to use my little scraps as much

 as I can try keep as much as I can out of the landfill.

Last but not least, I was motivated while cutting 

batting for the log cabin, and managed to 

cut up 6 more pieces for other quilts!


Certainly one of the most productive weekends for 

me in quite some time. Stay safe and sew on !

  7. Your courthouse steps caught my eye because that's my current WIP. Our public works dept. has a bin for textile recycling. I toss all the trimmings into a bag and when it's full I dump it there.
