one of the many perks of living alone is that when i'm wide awake at 4 am, i can get up and do most anything as long as i don't disturb the neighbors. so this morning, decided to go thru the elfa drawers and weed out stuff. among the "stuff" was a collection of orphan blocks....leftovers, wrong size, tried out blocks....that i'm now offering to anyone who will take them all.
the largest is the repro fence rail piece, about 12 x 9....some 10" blocks, some 6", some 4"....not all repro as you can see. again, you MUST take all of them. they need a new home where somebody will use them.... by the time i was finished with this task, was feeling sleepy again so back to bed for a couple of hours...another perk of the single life. *** today is a wide open day, nothing much planned except exercise so hoping to nearly finish the orange modern blocks; only 7 more to make and can get the top together and send it off to the finish pile. finished my valentine sewing project on wednesday. next is to baste a donation quilt and start the quilting. am hoping to finish quilting 3 bed size quilts this year, maybe even 4, to make some headway on the UFO list. will see how that goal turns out...in the meantime, it's a sunny but cool day ahead!
I'd give a good home to your blocks, Grace.
ReplyDeletethanks a heap....i'll get your snail addy via email ok?
DeleteFeels good to lighten the load, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI was going to suggest a fellow blogger that loves working with orphan blocks. I send her mine. But looks like your blocks will be loved by Nann--that is great!
Grace, we use orphans to make some of our Quilts of Valor for our Veterans, and would be happy to use them to fulfill our project. Checkout www.socalqov.org!
ReplyDeletei'll keep you in mind...i might have a few more...
DeleteIt sounds such a treat to get up when you want and spread out what you want and leave it there if you want! oh the freedom of being single. Don't get me wrong I love my life but I am so glad you appreciate the little things that others go without. The blocks look delicious! and I think it is an awesome community to be a part of here. Enjoy something today!
