Monday's top ten

first thing--well, after breakfast--sat down at miss phoebe to sew up this week's ten 9-patch blocks.  here they are, all from scraps.  total of 50 so far!

this weekend pulled out this gray/beige solid to add to these blocks.  i think it's called 'oyster' by kona cotton.  a warmer tone than plain gray as i tried both.  shopping the stash?  priceless!


remember that small stack of twosies and 9-patch blocks?  here they are, now all assembled into blocks ready to finish off.  i have backgrounds and a setting in mind, on the list.


there were some tropical color inchies but not enough to use for anything, so whipped up a potholder.  the binding is dodgy as miss phoebe never did learn how to zig-zag and miss sunny is still without her belt.  the great thing is when the holder gets really grungy, i just toss and make another.  i do like those very bright colors.  


another plan for the solids is also on the list.  can i empty the drawer in february?  won't be for lack of trying.  

today picked up backing for liberty road, so have to book space at library sometime this month to baste.  this week plan to start the wheelchair quilts, maybe have tops done by friday.  two PT sessions, a med appt, bible study all on the schedule, enough to keep me from getting melancholy, plus mr. sunshine every day for a change a big help!

  1. You are coming right along with those 9-patches. The solids drawer will be empty at the rate you are going. I wish I could clean out some of my scrap stash as quickly. Sounds like you've got a busy week ahead.

  3. Wow! You are really on a roll, Grace! Fifty 9-patches takes quite a bit of cutting and sewing.

  4. Potholders are so easy to make, so why do I use them until they are so grody? LOL. Nine patches are always such fun!
