CHARM-ing!

it's true...my inner child is scrappy!  plenty of projects in the works but hey, when the inner child beckons....


few months ago gifted a charm pack of these neutral whites....cute little prints ideal for background on these baskets.   since it's summer, went with RWB color combo...i love this little pattern...these are hand pieced and sew up uber quick.  made a wall quilt from this pattern eons ago that sent along in another doll quilt swap....


i always planned to make another....no time like the present!  they are so darn cute in any fabric style don't you think?  

the planets are in alignment and the weather is absolutely perfect!  we do get a few of them now and then and they are so welcome....a comfy week ahead with hots just around the corner no doubt...

i am trying to jumpstart my sewing mojo...lots of quilting being done but this week have to get serious with the project list....what's on?

1)  finish 'lights' scrap blocks and get going on 'darks'...i think i need 20 of those...

2)  work on flimsy panel top for senior center

3)  more of the tiny basket blocks

4)  patch pair of jean shorts

5)  applique on final red/green block...

saturday spent veggie cooking for week ahead and pleasant morning out to flea market and lunch

friday at group will be working on 20 strip christmas stockings for charity--money from selling will be used for haitian relief effort at a local church.  so very thankful to use God's gift to me---my hands and abilities--along with my quilty peeps...just friday we finished a tall stack of pillowcases for the local hospital's needs...

will also finish up last few spring cleaning chores--clean fridge, wash a couple of windows, quick swiffer of floors before they get ahead of me like before.  aside from a nagging little problem at the complex, life is indeed good!  thanks be to God!
