Rain, rain looks like another sewing day!

 On and off rain here so perfect to observe the 

gentle trickle from the sewing room. 

Red is the color of the month and surprise, I 

seem to have a bunch of red strips and bits!

Come on RSC log cabins!

Zipping up some wonky log cabin blocks 

from beautiful red fabric will be a great time so 

here goes. 

First the centers, which are random colored 2" 

squares of polka dots , (or close to polka dots!)


I keep a supply of polka dot squares ready and 

add to it as I find them on the way to other projects. 

Next the cream or white bits, harvested from 

assorted scrap boxes, save for later bags and 

other mysterious places. It is sometimes hard

 to dig for a small piece when nice strips are 

nearby but that is the lot of a scrap quilter with 

way too many bits to tend to!

Tada!  After a few days of stitching in the warm sunshine, 

after the rain, there is a nice stack of red log cabins!


All the sewing and I now have a stack of 

40 blocks ready for final trimming and

and an almost empty box and a small pile of red strips!



 Time to replenish from the scrap bins!

Stay cool and sew on !

  2. Wow those seem to be finished really fast. That's me assuming you got them done in one day. I need to take a page from your book and organize a log cabin leader ender project. Thanks for the inspiration.

    1. Yep, retirement sure is fun! No babies to watch, ( they are nice and healthy in daycare) and not daytime meetings, yard work all done and I mind the current bit of weeds in the flower beds. It helped that I had strips in the red scrap drawer, it really made it faster without the need to dig out and cut more red scraps.

  4. I wish I could claim it's time to replenish the scrap bins. I can't seem to sew faster than the scraps accumulate. LOL I like your idea of using dots in the centers of the blocks.

  6. How good it must feel to empty those scrap bins! Woot! Red's a favorite color for me and those blocks look so pretty. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
