ScrapHappy Saturday - RSC26 - Week 38

Welcome to Week 38 of the 2026 Rainbow Scrap Challenge!!  This week will be filled with PURPLE scrap projects, art classes and experiments.  There will be pockets of time available for sewing tasks.  The question, as always, is how that time will be used.  Appointments, meetings and art classes tend to fill my days.  Will there be enough energy left for quilting?
