my scraps runneth over

was trying to bring some order out of the sewing space chaos....always a tricky thing as inevitably find other things to do or that need doing.  this task was screaming at me to be tackled....

that is the scrap basket hidden under the everest-size pile of scraps, so towering they can no longer be contained....a new rotary blade and another hot, sticky day will remedy that....and while clearing the decks, found the folk art nativity in progress and took a few minutes (? huh...more like an hour) to prep a couple of more blocks.....

shepherds.....still waiting for crooks....

angel #2....both need basting yet so they can travel with me later this summer....that leaves 2 more blocks....the 3 kings and mary/baby jesus.....joseph discretely ignored.  no rush on these at all...

few days of respite from oppressive heat/humidity...good for running errands and doing outside tasks...maryland summer is nearly half over, hoping autumn will bring a return to in-person guild meetings and me back on 2 sturdy legs again...am very thankful my hobbling is temporary
