ScrapHappy Saturday - RSC25 - Week 5

Welcome to Week 5 of the 2025 Rainbow Scrap Challenge!!  This week is filled with meetings and projects.  Some of those are virtual and others are in person.  It's going to be a busy week, as I may need to squeeze in a doctor appointment, as well.  It seems a trip to the orthopedic clinic may be in order.  The ER doc may have been a bit over confident about my finger healing without intervention, but more on that when I've made an appointment.  In the meantime, would you like to see how the week panned out?

Let's start with Saturday's Sew Day at SECU Family House...

The following quilters were in attendance:

Britt set up her machine next to mine for a day of sewing...

Thank you for the assistance, Britt!  I couldn't have worked on this UFO without your help:

SUNDAY - PQ 16.2

Weekly Morning Art Zoom found me working on the BUBBLES prompt for Junk Journal January:

And...

An afternoon Zoom session with Knittingsuek:

MONDAY - Work

In neighborhood news, construction workers marked out the foundation for House #12:

I headed upstairs with my computer, but LeeAnna and I had a breakdown in communication concerning this week's Zoom call.  I signed on just in case she showed up, but worked on one of my Junk Journal January pages while I waited:

After dinner, I was back on the computer for this month's Quilt Guild meeting featuring Carol Wilhoit who presented her slide show about Quilting with Metallic Threads:

TUESDAY - Work

 

I messaged LeeAnna earlier today to see if she would be able to chat this afternoon.  I made a quick stop at the store on my way home, but headed upstairs to sign onto Zoom in case she was available.

While waiting for her to arrive, I worked on some PINK sewing, watched a vlog post and joined my very first Patreon account, Scrap Club with Kristen Hubert from Scrap Fabric Love on YouTube:

Late this afternoon, just after I gave up on waiting, LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color texted to see if I was ready to Zoom.  I headed back upstairs for a quick chat:

WEDNESDAY - Wonderful Wednesday

Work

Afterwards, I did some arting at Woven, and artist date on Get Messy...

And went to dinner with my DH for a Celebration Day:

THURSDAY - Day Off

This morning is my (Weekly) Quilt Group meeting.  I headed that way and found that we weren't actually meeting where I thought we were.  I had missed an email saying that we would be meeting at the Passmore Center instead.  Unfortunately, driving further away from home wasn't going to work for me so I made an appointment at the Walk-In Orthopedic Clinic for a check of my (still) broken finger...

The splint, however, is now in the garbage and I have some desensitization exercises and occupational therapy to do as it continues to heal:

Followed by a stop at the pharmacy and the deli, then raced home for this week's Curiosity Collective on Get Messy.  The day's lesson was Serendipity by Karin Smolinski Aguirre @creativechaosstudio.returns for some abstract painting fun:

Later...

It was back out to my Monthly Evening Quilt Bee meeting with the following members present...

And then Knittingsuek arrived with some Show and Tell...

For ME???

Thank you, Sue!  Such a perfect piece for my gallery wire (and a great way for you to try out your new sewing machine.)

FRIDAY - TABLE SCRAPS Challenge

Day Off

That means that I should be able to attend Knit Group.  Right?  Well...  This week the answer is YES!  Here are the four of us who were in attendance:

This afternoon, I tried out the new Open Art Studio hangout with Deandra and friend on Get Messy.  I made a page to commemorate the event:

Tonight at my Weekly Evening Art Zoom, I worked on a few different projects, including filling the last few pages in my journal for the 5 Minute BINGO Challenge from The Ugly Art Club with some random collage:

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.  Yes!  I sewed PINK scraps this week.  (See the link in yesterday's entry.)  I also pulled out my BLUE scrap baskets to prepare for February's scrap sewing:

This morning began with a Zoom chat with Knittingsuek...

Lunch was followed by the Opening of Season art session with my Get Messy friends on Zoom and I invited Britt to continue making art afterwards.  We both got a few random things knocked off our list:

Until next time...

Get SCRAPPY!!
