Welcome to Week 51 of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!! This week, I was presented with another schedule change. I'm not sure how I will cope.
Let's worry about that later...
Last Saturday was a busy day, which started out with a festive Holiday Party:
Special thanks to Carol, who hosted our Quarterly Quilt Bee. Group photo shown above and the "Three Muskateers" shown below.
I delivered a few gifts on my way home. Hilary and I had a nice visit. Look at the gorgeous shawl she gave me! It's her Nature's Majesty pattern from the 2023 New Year's Eve Mystery KAL:
Read on to see how the week went...
SUNDAY - Zoom, Zoom, Zoom
The week began with spending some time with my Get Messy friends and a bit of art. After lunch, Knittingsuek and I met for our weekly Zoom call:
MONDAY - Work
If you were wondering what I did in yesterday's Art Zoom, that is pictured below. I finished the final two pages in my Patchwork Journal from The Roben's Nest:
TUESDAY - Work
Using this pattern...
The Sashiko page in my Care December journal is complete:
WEDNESDAY - Work
No Zoom with LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color this week. Working until 6PM cuts into my "free" time. We're hoping to meet sometime over the weekend. The (glare-y) photo below hints at the utility work that is going on at the construction site next door this week:
THURSDAY - Work
Our holiday luncheon was today. Fresh cooked chicken wings and nachos were on the menu. YUM!
FRIDAY - Before work, I captured a photo of this morning's glorious sunrise, right before it retreated behind that incoming bank of clouds:
At the end of my work day, hopefully the last of the 6PM ones, this was all that was left of the sun setting on this work week. Apparently, I moved too soon and caused a bit of blur:
NOTE: Thanks to Wendy @ Pieceful Thoughts, I discovered that Gail @ Quilting Gail has announced the 2024 Stay at Home Round Robin. I have a couple of ideas about what I might like to do with the project. We'll see what happens in a couple of weeks.
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.
The only fabric I touched this week was this big baggie of scraps from my friend Maggie:
Thanks, Mags!! I spy SEW much fun in this gift!
** Apologies to all of my RSC Quilter friends from last week's link party. I didn't manage to visit very many (if any) of your posts. I'll try to do better this week.
Until next time...
Get SCRAPPY!!
Here's hoping the new year brings some letup in the heavy work schedule. Merriest of Christmases to you and yours, Joy!
