WARNING!!! PHOTO HEAVY POST!!!
Welcome to Week 5 of the 2025 Rainbow Scrap Challenge!! This week is full of plans for art and quilting. There are meetings and classes on the agenda. Will the BLUE scrap sewing that I have in mind to do actually happen?
Walk with me through my days...
Afterwards, Britt and I decided to do an Art Zoom and I painted the details at the top of the watercolor that I started yesterday in my Zoom with Belinda:
SUNDAY - PQ17.2 - Scads of Plaid
Weekly Morning Art Zoom found me working on a collage in my personal journal to commemorate the recent visit from my SIL:
I added the finishing touches during a chat with Britt after the meeting ended:
This was the view out our front door after once lunch was done:
MONDAY - During Curiosity Collective we explored Lesson One from the Get Messy Color book. I couldn't find my copy and got started on my page with partial instructions and forced some color bleed with a spritzes of water from my misting spray bottle:
Later, I decide that it was Baking Day:
When the cookies came out of the oven, I went up to the studio for my Weekly Zoom Call with LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color:
My Monthly Quilt Guild meeting was canceled due to icy road conditions.
TUESDAY - Today was proclaimed a Sewing Day and I prepped my BLUE donation quilt for layering - pressed, pieced backing and cut batting...
Before stopping to eat lunch and attend Open Studio with Barb. During the hangout, I worked on Day 14's SAGE prompt in my Care December journal:
After dinner, I spotted the quilt block I made for Kristen's Window Seats quilt in the recent SCRAP CLUB UPDATE video @ Scrap Fabric Love on YouTube:

WEDNESDAY - I attended the NEW Midweek Meetup with Jessy over on Get Messy and decided to work on a gray page in Collage Scraps journal using another bit of the Cousins Maine Lobster bag as a jumping off point:
During the Joyful Art Zoom with Belinda was this afternoon. We each worked on a watercolor page inspired by the "cover photo" for this ViviGonzalezArt video on YouTube:
THURSDAY - Weekly Quilt Group hosted by me on Zoom:
I shared the BLUE and green donation quilt that I'm working on this week:
We enjoyed a family celebration dinner tonight:
FRIDAY - Knit Group was lively with Stacy's return:
After the meeting, I went to get lunch from the Cousins Maine Lobster food truck...
Which is this lobster lover's dream with the following menu selections:
When I got home, I headed up to Get Messy's Friday Friends hangout. I spent time chatting with my art friends and doing a fun food collage in my personal journal...
During my Weekly Evening Art Zoom, I worked on the final page in my Watercolor Journal by swatching my 48-color Masllutn paint set which is cost effective for any beginner:
HEY!! It's SNOWING, again!!! No accumulation to speak of before bedtime. More tomorrow?
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. It took me ALL AFTERNOON to complete this post. When I started writing, there was very little snow on the ground...
Between that photo and the next, I enjoyed a chat with Knittingsuek. No Zoom Call. :o((
As darkness (and the temperature) began to fall, the sidewalk had all but disappeared in the nearly 4" of snow and the thermometer read 15 degrees!!! Here's the photo finish:
A little later, I went out just long enough to get a few photos so that I could send YOU Winter greetings from me and the Abominable Snowman. I even managed to capture falling snow in the photo below:
Until next time...
Get SCRAPPY!!
This was a lovely post. Love the last photo. If you need more snow just whistle and I'll send you more, lol. ;^)
