Welcome to Week 6 of the 2023 Rainbow Scrap Challenge!! It's a transition week for the RSC Quilters and BLUE is heading back to the scrap heap, while PINK will be taking pride of place on our sewing tables.
SUNDAY - TWO posts today. Did you see them? If not, here are the links:
Knittingsuek and I met for our weekly Zoom call this morning:
Later in the day, I put my big girl pants on and bellied up to the bar...
Well... I bellied up to the rails of the longarm and got a good start on the quilt shown above.
MONDAY - (Not so...) Mini Monday - Link was shared in yesterday's entry. By now, you've heard that if I don't post earlier, I would miss the Link Party.
Before heading off to work, I started a new art challenge. The Simplest Things Challenge @ Mindful Art Studio. This was my interpretation of Day 1 of the 5-day event:
TUESDAY - Work and this interesting scene afterward... DS2 under the hood of his car. It's good to see him trying something new and his car will thank him, too:
WEDNESDAY - Catching up on this week's art challenge:
I'm enjoying the addition of the previous day's prompt along the side of the page:
Work and I was able to enjoy this clear blue sky as I waited to gain entrance:
THURSDAY - At work the Warehouse SALE began and will continue through 6PM on Saturday. It was good to see people milling about the showroom.
Before heading out, I started the day's art challenge page:
People who called in their orders during the day got to talk with me:
Work was followed by grocery shopping, a pharmacy run, and a stop by DS2's office. When I got home, I found this lovely card from Linda @ Art in Search in today's mail:
This year's card is a gorgeous hand painted (?) fabric (using some type of resist technique) which was layered, sketch-quilted, and added to the cardstock. It has assumed pride of place on the shelf behind the sofa:
I'll be sure to add a link once Linda's process post has been released.
FRIDAY - NO day off this week!! KNIT Group would have to wait for the NEXT time I have a Friday off! I did have time to add the watercolor to yesterday's Simplest Things page:
SATURDAY - It's LINK PARTY day for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge! I hope you will join me in visiting Angela @ So Scrappy to see what the RSC Quilters have been up to this week. I'm heading over now. See you there!
Here's one final photo from this week. I tried to mix up some PINK watercolor paint for the final day of The Simplest Things Challenge, but it appears that you'll have to pretend I got the color right:
Until next time...
Get SCRAPPY!!
You've filled your week with colorful beauties!!! Nice work at the frame!

Beautiful quilting, Joy.
ReplyDeleteI see elephants and strawberries. And maybe a hedgehog?
ReplyDeleteYou've had a busy week. Fun art challenge (I see the elephant!), pretty heart card and beautiful quilting/quilt. Have a relaxing Sunday!
ReplyDeleteBusy Busy!!! Beautiful quilting on the longarm! I admire that you can cut scraps on your lunch break - I would lose track of time and have a lot of scraps cut and probably lose my job! ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteBusy week with lots of creativity! Hope your weekend is going well.
ReplyDeleteI think your Simplest Thing Challenge project looks so pretty. I love the pinkiness of it!
