quilting karma

the stars aligned and the tan triangles are scraps no more!  and yes, quilters, i used every single one!! not one left over!!  that almost never happens...color me giddy...and just like that, the solids scraps drawer is nearly empty...

once sewn together, hoping i have enough of a plaid that will yield a border but remains to be seen....good news is have actually completed a chookshed challenge...

last year a quilty peep gave me these 30s melon pieces she got from a family member...i tried not to drool when she said i might be able to use them...LOL...found the green in the stash but alas, not quite enough for all the melon pieces...

no, not buying more fabric...instead used what i had for as many as i could....this will be an ideal travel project...and the leftovers?

enough for a small project...yet undecided...felt quite honored she chose me as the lucky recipient...

brutal weather designed for reading...this new book was on my reserve list and available 10 pm last night...so naturally had to start right away...

for michael connelly fans, this book introduces another new character....you might know him from the lincoln lawyer, bosch and ballard volumes...

another heat dome day....we got some thunder for about an hour yesterday but no rain and no cold front arrived either...did get a love note from the electric company that my monthly budget amount has increased $13....and then a second email saying i got a $2 credit for saving energy....confused yet?  

quilty group on hold until building repairs completed...so will be working on christmas stockings at home instead of communing with peeps...

and no explanation needed for this....

keep cool and quilt on!
