after a quick market run, the required exercise and the usual poultry lunch, sat right down at betty bernina for an afternoon of sewing. sure, there was a bit of housework to do but there's always tomorrow or even monday for that matter. pulled out the march scrap attack project and went right at it while binge watching "longmire" on netflix. phew, so glad he didn't go for that female deputy of his; she is a bit of a scatterbrain. anyway, by the time the sun had set, bagged up 100 scrappy arcs for my scrappy DWR project; only 140 more.
thrilled that i was able to use up lots of pieces in my 2.5" squares box and even some 2" pieces for the ends. yes that is hello kitty you see, plus olaf is in here someplace as well. mostly trying to avoid the dark reproductions and use only medium values. with 2 weeks until april dawns, should get them all finished and maybe even get the 120 melon pieces cut out as well. hope your official quilting day was similarly spent in some quilty pursuits as well!
Wow--you were productive on national quilting day!
ReplyDeleteHaven't taken a stitch today.
that was my friday...no sewing at all...
DeleteThe wedding ring arcs look great! What color will your melons be?
ReplyDeletekona white is for melons and background...i think
DeleteI agree with your relief with Longmire! I dont like the female deputy too much. She is a lot better than the pretty boy though. I am super inspired at your wedding ring arc's! I want to get started on some too.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of arcs done. I bet it feels fantastic to be moving this project along. I didn't see any Hello Kitty! I did notice a dog and a flip flop in the back of the picture! Ha!
ReplyDeleteI love my scraps, but I sure have a lot of them to get used up. Someone gave me a large popcorn tin filled to the top with 2 1/4 inch squares. I've made so many small things with them such as hotpads and doll blankets.
ReplyDeleteI was going to make a full size quilt doing the color of the month with the soscrappy blog challenge, but now I'm going to use those 4 patches to make pin cushions.
Some will go to my guild to give away when someone purchases a ticket for our opportunity quilt and others will be my free gifts I send to people who order from me.
I always love seeing close up pics of scrap quilts and blocks 'cos I can't help but look for fabrics that I recognise as being in my own stash. I spotted three or four in this pic of yours Grace, which was a lot of fun. And yes, I did find the Hello Kitty piece too.
