Sunday Stash Report , a Misty Morning

 Another Brigadoon day for the small town I live in

We are actually a city now for various political reasons,

but small town sounds better to me.  

The Brigadoon 




reference is from a classic movie of the same name. 

Two young men walk thru the mist and end up in 

a small town where time and progress seemed to 

have stopped.  Not quite the same as here but the

morning mist always brings the move to mind.

We are getting misty morning instead of snow

so I am perfectly okay with that. 

Now on to the stitching!

No change in numbers, but lots of sewing this 

week. Thirty blocks are  a good start on 

the last log cabin of the year.



 It will be a 2 sided behemoth for my cozy 

collection. I can't miss the chance to have

another log cabin for my bed.  Two 

smallish bags of strips were used up in 

the making of blocks so it is a win all the way 

around. We did venture out for a hockey game

but it was a no win situation. We enjoyed the even tho

and had a great time with family. 

Oh, and late last nite I won bobbin chicken!!


There is the empty bobbin, and yes something 

still under the needle !  Yay!

Stay safe and sew on !

Linking up with:










Buddha bowl fabric

 Have you every had a fabric that just seemed to never run out?

I have had three over my quilting calling. 

Sale fabric that was perfect as background and backing for a quilt, 

I used it up and yet..  I keep finding scraps years later.

Another fabric purchased since it was such a great bargain it 

couldn't be left was a red leaf print. The bolt had some cuts fresh

 from the factory so I bought three meters. 

It really seemed to reproduce over time

 I used some  earlier this year for a binding. 


 The piece seemed to come out of hiding just for the project. 

My next  Buddha fabric is really 

 two white on white fabrics, one with 1/4" dots and 

the other with 1/4" diamonds.  I split a bolt of each with a 

sewing buddy two decades ago (or more)  and still come 

across bits of it. They seem to show up whenever 

I need white scraps!

Here is bit of the dot one, the diamonds are being

 elusive this am. 


It is such a delight to find them in amongst the scraps.

Stay safe and sew on!

Here is a Buddha blessing.

  • "Three things cannot be long hidden: 
  • the sun, the moon, and the truth."

I guess some of that never ending fabric too!
