Today will be an at home all day kind of day. The last two days involved helping family with appointments along with my grandson and school. I read this morning that the schools will not open next week. That’s life these days…I am very thankful that I am able to be there for family when they need me.
I will soon have more customer quilts to show. The sunshine quilt is finished, as I bound that one by hand for my customer.
Hand stitching really is relaxing and I should make more time for it. I have been on the lookout for a good floor lamp for evening sewing.
My friend Betty gifts a lot of her scraps to me which bring me back to my childhood sewing and the excitement of a bag of scrap fabric to create with. So with a recent large assortment given to me on top of what a I already have and a new to me creative grids pineapple ruler…it started with making a block for my blockheads quilt.
It is not one of the official blocks and although the mistake glares at me I have left it for the time being or maybe for all time.
The ruler is fun at least for me to use. So over the weekend I let myself play…
It amazed me once I got started, how many scraps of fabric I have!Those kitties left over from Minka’s quilt keep popping up!These are at the point where I decide to stop and make the blocks finish at 4” or to grow them another inch which I am considering for a quilt that is on my mind. How cute is that little mouse, I did cut into a Fatquarter for that but other than a few Fat-quarters so far the rule has been only scraps…
Love all the quilt posts you are making ….I too have this ruler it is fun to use…
