I hope, if you're in the track of Hurricane Florence, you've made it to a safe place, AND that you have sufficient important supplies (fabric, thread, sewing machine, rotary cutter, etc.) to keep you occupied during the storm. I have family on the east coast in NC and VA, so I'm definitely keeping an eye on the storm reports. Stay safe, everyone!!!
I've also made some good progress on my scrap sewing this week! Last week my Something Blue quilt was at this point...
...then late last week it went to this....
...and finally ended up at this point!
That's the top 2/3 or so of the quilt, only lacking four rows of blocks across the bottom, and a border. Unfortunately, I probably won't have time to finish it this week, but I'm trying to make the last 18 blocks that I need to finish that bottom 1/3...
...I've got all the parts made and they just need to be assembled. If I can squeeze it in, I'd love to get this done, but I've got some commission quilts I need to finish this week. Paying work first, right?
And I found some fabulous inspiration online this week, too - I bet these will get your creative juices flowing!
Isn't this amazing? I've got a tub of solids that this might be perfect for, although just bright prints might be good too!
And this one has really captured my imagination! I want to work it out on EQ7 and see what I can do with it...
And how about some Jen Kingwell? This is her Flutterby pattern - and so perfect for scraps! I see another Jen Kingwell in my future (if I ever finish my Gypsy Wife!) Ooh, and I just looked on Amazon for the pattern, turns out it's in the book Quilt Lovely and... wait for it... I already own it!! Woohoo!!!!
So what are you doing with your scraps this week? Are you fighting a pitched battle, or have you reached a peaceful truce? Either way works!
Hugs!
