Welcome to Week 13 of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!! This week, I did all the usual things. A bit of Zooming, some meetings with friends, and a little bit of sewing.
Here's the play by play...
SUNDAY - Believe it or not, this week began with me playing with some of my GREEN fabric scraps...
Yes. A Zoom call with Knittingsuek featured prominently in my day:
MONDAY - Mail Call Monday
Work and a completed GREEN Scrap Jar Star block:
TUESDAY - Work
This evening, I went on a little explore around BlogLand. That led to the next big thing...
I just signed up for the H2H 2023 Charity Quilt Challenge. Have YOU??? If not, there's still PLENTY of time get started on a quilt! Sarah @ Confessions of a Fabric Addict is hosting this year's event. (Welcome back, Sarah! We missed you last year, but Mari @ The Academic Quilter did a great job filling in while you were away.)
WEDNESDAY - Wonderful Wednesday
The day started off with Coffee and Collage...
RSC Quilter friends, please notice the GREEN strip of scrap fabric glued into my Fragments journal!
With a side of knitting:
It also came with a gift exchange. Tracy gave me those lovely hand knit socks that you can see in the photo above and I gave her my latest quilt finish shown below:
That meeting was cut short, but I had errands and grocery shopping to do. Afterwards, as I was settling in up in the studio when noises outside forced me to investigate. This is what I saw:
Erosion control is beginning on the new neighborhood next door. Yippee!!
I went outside to get the scoop and returned just in time to Zoom with LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color:
THURSDAY - Work was followed by a(nother) not-so-pleasant surprise.
Here is what I found when I stopped by the house to change clothes before...
My Monthly Evening Quilt Bee:
FRIDAY - March ABC (Table) SCRAPS Link Party
Work was busy because we're having the Southern Season Warehouse SALE online and IN-PERSON this weekend.
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.
Me??? I made these little pin cushions for GREEN month:
You might have seen the one on the right last week (since I dropped it off at Knittingsuek's house), but the one on the left is MINE. It's Tetrahedron from the book Pin Pals by Carrie Nelson. E-book available HERE from the publisher.
Next month???
Angela made the color announcement in today's post:
PURPLE
I'm pretty sure that I can work with that! Next week, I'll dig the scraps out and share what I've got to work with. Now, I will just need to decide what I to make. Sometimes that can be the biggest challenge.
Until next time...
Get SCRAPPY!!
Pretty green ScrapJar star, Joy! Do the woods there border your yard? I bet you'll miss that pretty view.
