Welcome to Week 37 of the 2020 Rainbow Scrap Challenge!! Our hostess, Angela @ So Scrappy, called for RED sewing during the month of September. I've been doing a little of that. Come along and I'll walk you through my week.
SUNDAY - I started the holiday weekend (US Labor Day) with a fun sewing project:
I forgot to share it in Saturday's post, but if you look closely, you will see the little basket sports a tiny bit of RED. It's SEW much fun to use my fabric (and batting) scraps! :o))
This morning I released a new Sew Some Love post. Prepare to be AMAZED!!! You will not believe how many fabric squares arrived:
Look!! On the top of the stack...
A bit of RED for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. :o))
MONDAY - Loading the longarm kept me busy...
Look, you guys! Little RED kitties for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. :o))
... While I waited for Needleb to arrive. She is came over to take some of those squares I showed you yesterday:
After our visit, I went back up to finish quilting, but you'll have to wait to see how that turned out. October will be yellow month at the RSC and I think I want to finish the quilt then.
TUESDAY - Today, I met my friend Hilary for some girl time:
We traded yarn-y tasks. I attempted to figure out her pom-pom maker...
(Hopefully) It worked!
... While she wove in the ends of my Halloween Socks:
Win-win!!!
On the way home I stopped by Knittingsuek's house for a quick chat on her patio. Can you believe that I forgot to take a picture with me in it, too??? Grr!
The purpose of the stop was to drop off...
A few scraps and... Hey! What's this???
Yep! That adorable Large Quilted Thread Catcher I made over the weekend and judging by the smile on her face, she LOVES it:
Once I returned home, I did some more work on my new RED project for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. There is a funny story to go along with these X's. They were inspired by my friend Diann @ Little Penguin Quilts...
... I'll explain once it's done. Never fear! It shouldn't be too much longer. :o))
WEDNESDAY - Last night, I seamed this backing fabric from my friend Dee Dee and loaded the longarm for the 2nd time this week:
Another UFO and this one with RED dancing all over it:
Today, I had some paperwork to take care of and it was grocery processing day.
Early this afternoon, I met my friend Candy at our friend Joanna's house. It was time for quilt pick-up:
Candy's...
... And Joanna's:
Later, I enjoyed a Zoom meeting with LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color:
THURSDAY - ZoomBEE with these quilty friends:
After the meeting, I laid out the RED sewing that I've been doing between my Secret Sewing project and a variety of other tasks:
FRIDAY - ZoomKNIT with a few of my knitty friends:
The afternoon was spent working on my Secret Sewing project. It's coming along nicely, SEE?! Here's a sneak peek:
Not to worry, readers, that's a Wonky Star and the points aren't required to be pointy. The BIG reveal is coming soon! Only two weekends and one work week remain. YIKES!! I better get quilting...
SATURDAY - The weekend has arrived and with it comes this week's LINK PARTY @ Angela's So Scrappy blog. The Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) is celebrating sewing up our RED fabric scraps. If that's a favorite of yours, you won't want to miss it!
Until next time...
SCRAP sew safely!!!
Lots of fun projects in the works with little bits of red here and there. You reminded me I should make a little thread catcher for by my chair.
