ScrapHappy Saturday - RSC20 - Week 28

Welcome to Week 28 of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!!  It's the first full week of Dark BLUE for the RSC Quilters.  I worked on finishing up a scrappy little something for Independence Day.  By the time I had it this far, it was too late to get it bound on the 4th.

SEW...

My holiday ended here:

SUNDAY - Oh, happy day!!  I made some progress on a UFO this afternoon.  My modified version of Kevin the Quilter's first mystery quilt, Sapphire Stars, is about to get a facelift:

Better still?  I've already written up the blog post!  It's all ready once it comes time to share the completed project.  :o))

MONDAY - I released a NEW Mail Call Monday post this afternoon.  It details the arrival of some super cute fabric.

Later in the day, Maggie stopped by (Please, ignore the squinting.)...

... With a couple more (Thanks, Maggie!) Pineapple Pieces Project blocks for our Weekly Quilt Group's latest charity project:

After dinner, I found that Alycia had announced her new QOV block for Colorado Quilt of Valor Quarterly Block Drive a few days ago.  (Where have I been?!?!) It's a block that I hadn't seen before.  If you are a fan of Jenny @ Missouri Star Quilt Co., it might not be new to you.  Go check it out (and send a block or 2 or 10) if you want to help!  (While you're at it, here is a LINK to the first block that Alycia made with the new pattern.)

TUESDAY - This morning, I posted the results of my 1000th Post Prize Drawing and then went up to sew.  Borders.  For a UFO!  :o))

See???  Here they are:

It looks like I've got a BIT more work to do!  Sigh...

WEDNESDAY - This morning, I released a new Wonderful Wednesday post.  I shared something that had me dancing with glee!!!  (There's a tiny bit of Dark BLUE, too.)

This afternoon, I dug in to my red scraps for a very special project.  More on that in a later post.

THURSDAY - Weekly Quilt Group met for ZoomBEE this morning.  Several friends were unable to join us today.  The photo below shows those who attended:

I spent the afternoon working on a face mask frenzy.  First, pressing and cutting for an order of four.  I couldn't stop there.  I had another two individual mask orders.  A few others jumped into the queue.  Five of these are Dark BLUE, so they even count as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge:

And then...

I have been wanting to try out a few patterns, so I chose fabrics for those, too:

Since it's a family celebration day, the sewing just might have to wait for tomorrow.  I did find a take some time after dinner to quilt up that secret sewing project that I mentioned yesterday.  It was calling loudly.

FRIDAY - ZoomKNIT met this morning.  It was a slim crowd:

While taking a tour around BlogLand after lunch, I realized that Kat @ Kat and Cat Quilts released the July/August Block Drive for Covered in Love.  Hmm... Maybe I'll make something along the lines of the mini quilt that I finished this week.  Read about that in today's Design Floor Friday post.

Late this afternoon, my friend Cheryl K. stopped by to drop something off - more about that another day:

SATURDAY - It's LINK PARTY day over on Angela's So Scrappy blog.  I'm off to visit all of the other RSC Quilters.  There are sure to be some fabulous Dark BLUE scrap project in the works!

After that, you can find me up in the studio. I'll be working my way through the next several steps of the 14 masks that I'm in the process of making:

Until next time...

Scrap SEW safely!!!
