better than fabric?

that would be FREE fabric of course....saturday the guild held a trunk-n-treat event across from our meeting church....we brought our free table stuff to find new homes...and vice versa...LOL!  i ended the day fairly close to even.  unfortunately tons of books went begging...all good books and ones we all had when we started, but no longer needed.  i found some backing fabrics and some other interesting pieces...



the rooster fabric was a small piece but i thought it was cute...and the ducks piece was just over 2 yards and also cute....and lime?  always comes in handy....

to banish boredom monday pulled out a UFO, a jo morton design.  slight detour from the last quarter list...i keep most of my UFOs in drawers for easy access and organization....


even with 2 zoom meetings, made good progress....


mostly jo morton fabrics and jan patek, some from the 1980s too.   *** with temps slowly ratcheting down, this just might be some of the last roses of summer...


bush roses are everywhere in maryland....here at shady pines they are yellow...these are down the street and are mostly pink, but a couple of red ones always pop out...  today must get back to that list for the last quarter of 2020.  with this pandemic continuing on at a snail's pace, it's getting more and more difficult to be motivated and alleviate boredom.  it also heightens my discontent here at the village.  thankfully my fitness center remains open and can visit often to jump start endorphins.....until normalcy returns, my job is to keep on keeping on i guess...

  5. That ufo you're working on.... That's one of my dream quilts to make. Those economy blocks seem like they would be simple but I find getting them aligned right a challenge. Perhaps you have tips for making it easy/easier?
    Free fabric is so fun. I love the little peeps.

  6. Always fun to find someone else's cast-offs that fit nicely into your stash! :)
    Love the Jo Morton quilt you are slipping into your rotation.
    Bush roses are so pretty. Lucky to have them all around you--and still in bloom!!
