ScrapHappy Saturday - RSC17 - Week 50

Welcome to Week 50 of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!!  The year 2017 is rapidly coming to a close.  I'm trying to pack as much sewing into each week as humanly possible.

Here's how I did with this week's quest...

SUNDAY - I slept late, did some laundry, and caught up on some of my favorite blogs.  I also quilted that sweet little aqua mug rug that I made last week:

PHOTO!!

I also quilted up a test piece for a new-to-me quilted bucket pattern:

PHOTT!!!


MONDAY - Knit Group was on today's agenda.  That was followed by a sewing session with Needleb.  Yes, ANOTHER!!!  We have to pack in all the days that we can before job situation changes occur.  

I made a Quilted Yarn Bowl using (an adaptation of) THIS Little Quilted Bucket pattern by Christina Cameli:

I used a couple of pink fabric scraps from my stash and one from my friend's scrap stash, too.  Thanks, B!!  It turned out SEW cute:

Once that was done, I concentrated on finishing an outstanding Mug Rug Swap:

As a last ditch effort to catch up on my RSC sewing from November, I laid out my Scrap Jar Stars:

In Light BROWN...

As well as Dark BROWN:

Earlier this afternoon, I did some cutting and marking for Clue #3 of my On Flamingo Lake mystery quilt.  Notice the marking tool:

I sewed some, too!  When I got home, I posted about it and linked up with the other Mystery Quilters working on Bonnie Hunter's On Ringo Lake.  Lots of variation to be seen!

TUESDAY - It's a FREE day!!!  I spent it working on Christmas presents for my Knit Group.  Tonight is Girls Night Out, Holiday Edition.  We typically exchange gifts.  Handmade, yarny, or otherwise.  This year I've got a variety of items from yarn purchased at SAFF to a sweater purchased when shopping with the recipient to...

A quilted mug rug made this morning:

Along with a(nother) quilted "yarn bowl."  This one is purple and took multiple tries to complete:

I was a little disappointed when this was done.  The print seemed bolder before quilting.  :o((

That's OK... Beth LOVED it!!  :o))

WEDNESDAY - I spent the WHOLE day in the studio happily doing elf work.  Elf work?  Yes, elf work.  You know... making all the toys for good little knitters.  Here's today's model:

Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict posted about her 2018 Scrap Challenge:

THURSDAY - Weekly Quilt Group was follow with more elf sewing.  Here's what I accomplished today...

... and a bonus "yarn bowl", too:

FRIDAY - Sweater Class was this morning.  I didn't get very far, as this was our gift exchange day...

Marie was so excited that she could hardly contain herself:

Cindy was pleased to see her snowman placemats:

As much as she loved them, she loved the fact that she will be able to use the llama side all year long:

Nicole was near tears as she opened her gift:

Pink was PERFECT for her:

I received a "Joyful" travel mug (LOVE it!!) from Cindy:

Both Marie...

... And Nicole already put their quilted "yarn bowls" to work:

When I got home, I got a fair amount of elf sewing done, too.  (I should have since I stayed up so late!)  Sorry, but you still have to wait to see what else I've been up to.

SATURDAY - This week was a blur.  Each day blended into the next and somehow, we have arrived at LINK PARTY day for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!  I'm looking forward to seeing who has been in a finishing mood this week.  You may want to check it out, too.  There's always SEW much to see.

I also linked up with Amanda @ Crazy Mom Quilts
