Such a Great Distraction

 Well, I had a list, I did check it twice !

Then I went off the script and sewed 

some oranges.


Then I made up a label for a 

quilt going off to California!! 



A great adventure is beginning there. 



 I jumped back on the list 

and sewed up some purple alternate blocks too.  

I am getting a nice little pile of blocks

for a rainbow stash buster quilt!


This just fills me with delight!


I wanted to try out a scrappy 2 1/2" border

to enlarge my Irish Chains a bit. 

Here is how it turned out. 



Yeeah,  not very appealing!! 

As my DD would say, 

"It grew up unfortunate looking!"

 I will try a different approach and stitch the 

leftover strips into a long border. Staying in 

the color family may be the answer!!

Meanwhile I will look at this rainbow

pile of blocks!!! Yee Haw!!!




Stay safe and sew on !

Stash Reporting on a Wonderful Monday

Well more came in and 

a few went out!  

The story of my scrap adventure 

always sounds similar! 

 Wonderful friends and fantastic scraps!

Thank you PB, LT, DC and JT.

I will add a good 10 meters to the

fabric count but I am starting on 

quilting up the pile so that will 

gnaw into the total a bit!

Fabric Purchased: 2 m

Fabric In to date: 22.5 m

Use to date 2024 : 12 m

Scraps in : 10 m

Scraps out : 1 m

Big Batch donation : 60 m 

Net Fabric In: 77.5 m

The RSC pile is really growing,

it is very pretty!



I have both blocks done for 

the Stash Busters Challenge in 

few different colors. A nice 

evening listening to a movie 

and joining blocks will get a few 

more tops for the "To be quilted!" rack.

It currently has three small projects to pinned but 

the pinning tables are full of RSC/Stash buster blocks!



The yoga mat over there is the only thing getting a workout,

 someone needs to make some progress!
