Welcome to Week 36 of the 2026 Rainbow Scrap Challenge!! It's transition week for the RSC Quilters. Angela announced the new Color of the Month on Saturday:
PURPLE
Read on to see how my week progressed...
SUNDAY - The day began with an excavation project. I dug out my PURPLE scraps:
Immediately followed by my Weekly Morning Art Zoom on Get Messy. This morning I build a page around a collage cluster made months ago:
MONDAY - Errand Day/Art Day
After lunch, I headed up to the studio for this week's Library Crawl with a lesson from Jane the Crazy who offered two prompts... Crazy Happy and/or Vintage. My response:
TUESDAY - Stay at Home Day
During the Early Explorers hangout, I did another page in my Collage Scraps Altered Book journal. This one uses a gel print and a magazine image, slightly separated from its ad:
WEDNESDAY - Wonderful Wednesday
During Midweek Meetup, I worked on another simple collage. A background, a figure, and done. I was pleased to find the printed tissue paper in my paper stash background:
I missed Tuesday Explorers this afternoon. :o((
However, I dragged out this PURPLE scrappy UFO to work on this month:
I consider that a WIN!! :o))
THURSDAY - Quilt/Art Day
Today my Weekly Quilt Group met at the Chapel Hill Library. I served at hostess and filled in for our current editor. After lunch, Britt and I enjoyed an ART-venture. I brought my computer to watch a webinar from Julie Hamilton that was playing LIVE after we ate. Britt decided to paint along. This is the page that I ended up with, inspired by Julie's work:
After class, we both decided to play with some paper scraps. Here we are with our completed collages:
Yet another collage soon followed in my Collage Scraps Journal:
FRIDAY - Knit Group
We met at Beth's this morning. It was a full house:
After a quick lunch, I went upstairs for Get Messy's Friday Friends hangout. I pieced together the following page from a single print ad which was too large to fit otherwise:
Followed by Deandra's Art Zoom where I sorted through bits on my desk and cut out ransom note letters for future projects.
During my Weekly Evening Art Zoom, I pieced together a blue background for an image found in my paper scrap bin:
SATURDAY - It's LINK PARTY day for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge! I hope you will stop by for a visit Angela @ So Scrappy to see what the RSC Quilters have been up to this week. My apologies for not managing to catch up with everyone last weekend.
What about some PURPLE scrappy progress this week, Joyful???
No real progress, but I uncovered this month's UFO Challenge entry and pulled some scrap chunks for a potential backing for Project #11 - Ravelry Friendship Star Swap which I hope to finish at some point during the month:
Until next time...
Get SCRAPPY!
What fun purples you excavated! Best wishes on finishing that "targeted" UFO this month!
ReplyDeleteI love the Paradise found page. And I look forward to seeing what you do do with the purple scraps. Your collages remind me of my days designing clothing - I always did a mockup first.
ReplyDeleteAn "excavation" of your purple scraps and projects - that made me chuckle. I need to do some excavation on my cutting table, and I'm sure some surprises will be found. LOL Love that block exchange flimsy, and am confident you'll have it on the way to finished very soon.
