Well my motivation wagon had a flat tire
but I think I'm almost on the way.
I spent most of my morning ripping
apart my printer trying to figure out why
All the colors will print except black.
According to the internet and some friends at Smart Ink,
the print head might be dirty.
So I opened it up and cleaned the printhead but alas
still no black ink getting thru.
The helpful gentleman on the internet website
did direct me to where I could purchase a new printhead.
Surprise, it's under $20. It should arrive in a few days and
I will once again try to repair my printer.
In the meantime, I'm starting this wonderful pattern that requires
4" low volume scraps as sashing
with a wide crumb low volume border around
crumb squares of colour families.
Lots of crumbs,
so it should be lots of fun.
I'm starting out with piles of low volume scraps,
a majority of which are strips so it should speed up the process.
A nice pile done so far!
Side story, (DD say this), I've finally figured out
how to facilitate credits for pictures.
Utilize the screen shot feature on both phone and laptop!
This will provided all the necessary information
needed for the source of the creations.
Keep an eye out for better credits in the future!
Stay safe and sew on !

The one pictured is not mine but a pic from the net. When I find the maker I will add in the credit! I hope mine looks as good as hers!
ReplyDeleteNever done quilting, but love it and can admire people doing it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing and participating at SSPS 361. See you at #362
Hi Deb, that's going to be a lovely crumb quilt! Thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks.
ReplyDeleteIt is fun to do some straight line stitching and watch the scrap pile go down!
DeleteI really love your scrappy crumb quilt. One day I need to try that! Thanks for joining us at Monday Musings.
ReplyDeleteYour are very welcome, I love the quiltyblogverse!
DeleteA perfect RSC quilt. That should reduce the crumbs. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope so, it is nice seeing the basket empty and the pile of crumb sashing go up!
DeleteI love that crumb quilt & am feeling the urge to make one, as well. I love any scrappy LV background quilt!
ReplyDeleteYep , I have managed 2 good sew evenings , so I am feeling great! Happy stitching!
DeleteNeat crumb quilt. And think about how many small scraps will get used up. Unfortunately, I had an epiphany last week or so. I could use way more of my stash if I used bigger pieces. So I'll still have a project as a leader ender but I'm going to start focusing on using bigger hunks of fabric. I see a lot of 3 yard style quilts in my future.
ReplyDeleteI use those big ones on the back, but as long as we get to sew things , it is all good!
DeleteTroubleshooting printer problems is never fun. Hope the new part fixes the issue. Enjoy your new scrappy project.
ReplyDeleteMe too, I did get it back together after cleaning so even tho black still didn't work, at least I reassembled it correctly!
DeleteDeb that is going to be one fun quilt. I’m looking forward to seeing your progress. Thank you for linking with ToDo Tuesday. Hope you’ve had another fun week with lots of fabric fondling going on. 😉 Carol
