Blocky January

 What a month! 



 Lots of stitching, some sorting and lots of fun!  

First off, many blue wonky log cabin blocks of are now 

waiting in the wings for assembly. Yes this is a squirrel.

My focus was on using up scraps and 

this project certainly did  chew into the blue pile!



 Another sew day is coming up so I can whiz thru these 

block piles and feel oh so productive! 

I even pre-count and 

use  lovely clips to keep them in groups of ten.

There is a nice stack of  multi colored wonky logs waiting to

be added to the tops I finished earlier this month. 

Twin size will  work well for our local hospital hostel. 



The Elusive logs blocks have all the centers 

made up.  It has this working name since the 

only picture I have is a page from a 2002 QNM

with no designers name.  I will have to investigate!

Move over Agatha!



Since it is almost month end, I have tallied up my 

goals achieved this month!  I got some sorting done, 

pop over here to see my scissor cuts, and 

cleared out some scraps for others to enjoy.  

The metric for those moving out is .5 kilos per 

large bag of bits.  So far this year I've moved out

3 kilos of the treasures!  Subtract that from the 11 

drawers of color sorted, pressed scraps, 8 bags of 

sorted by color scraps and six bins and that makes...

oh, never mind.  Just a lot of quilt seeds left in the sewing stash!

Stash wise, nothing in and nothing out!

Don't Cut Too Deep! Scissor Sort!

 Getting out all my scissors was very eye opening! 

I have even more scissors than rotary cutters!

They kept popping up everywhere!  Two of my 

sewing buddies got my extra pinking sheers awhile ago but 

Still, I ended up with eighteen pairs of scissors! 

There is even a small black pair I know I have but can't find.



The four in the upper right turned out to be nail scissors. 

I will offer those to an embroider friend and the

rest will be donated. 

These very large pins will go to the 

give and take table at the guild along with brown 

handles ones left over from a set I bought years ago. 

That gets me down to 

fourteen but I feel the rest are necessary. 

Two snips for rag quilts, lots of small scissors 

for snipping machine side, 

pinking shears just because and my blue set

along with the large black handled pair for the small sewing room.

All done and dusted this little sort!  I can snip that off the list with 

the little paper scissors!



Now, how about all these buttons!?!




Stay Tidy!
