It is a short list but more than enough to keep me busy . 

Here is my wealth of green log cabins added to 

the vault. They were so fun to do, can't wait till 

the quilting frenzy hits me!

It was getting a little sparse!  I had forgotten about

 

sizing up batting for these three tops. There are still are a

total  13 of quilts to be done !

I did manage to stitch up about a zillion 

 

Terri Rowland 3 1/2" blocks, (actually about 120).  

They very addictive and even made a dent 

in last week's  gifted scrap box!

I am going to sneak in a little stash report

here. I just realized tomorrow is Tuesday.

I lucked into a great find of backing or piecing 

fabric for $1.30m so my fabric in went up but 

very economically!

The early part of the week was full of block party, 

kid's day and quilt meetings

This week is flying by and summer is so 

nice here. The backyard is blooming

and I had a great time shifting my 

perennials around.  They don't seem 

to mind when I shift them so I 

attack my yard with my favorite tool often. 

It is a long handle, 1/2 sized spade. 

It is a repurposed sampling tool 

my DH used during his field service 

hazardous waste testing days. It is 

so perfect for getting lots of oomph

into a spadeful of soil!  

More quilty things tomorrow with 

my BFF coming in for a year end dinner, 

and meals with friends!

Stay safe and sew on !

Clean and Designing

 Wow, sometimes inspiration just hits. 

I got very tired of my too small and oh so 

thready design wall and needed to replace it.

While putting fresh towels in the bathroom, I 

stumbled across a comforter bag containing 

the last of a bolt of too stiff and too narrow 

needle punch batting.  Purchased from a 

store closing clearance, it was supposed to 

be a double width cotton but turned out to 

be  a narrow compact craft bat.  I used it 

for everything but quilting.  Some was gifted 

for fabric bowls, some used as mattress covers, 

table matts and even some window insulation 

during a cold snap.  

There was just enough left to almost cover 

a larger space for a design wall. It will get 

a bit more tacky as it is used but for now it 

is clean and tidy and a few well placed pins 

hold the blocks up nicely. Pinned in place 

with some unused lady bug pins it looks wonderfully 

white. Ta da! So beautiful and crisp! 

 

I will use my smaller gridded design sheet to start 

planning my Gypsy quilt made of orphan blocks. 

The first quilts have gone up on the new design wall 

and the blocks are now up in the 

summer sewing room for assembly. 

All pinned and ready to stitch !

 

The was not quite a Marie Kondo rid out but 

definitely a repurpose save!

Stay safe and tidy!
