Here’s what I mean.</div><div style="box-sizing: inherit;"><div style="box-sizing: inherit;"> </div><div style="box-sizing: inherit;">One option is to turn clothes into something else. Are you ready to recycle your wedding dress into something new? Is it time to make a special project from t-shirts or old ties? I hear denim makes great rugs!</div><div style="box-sizing: inherit;"> </div><div style="box-sizing: inherit;">Or, you could quilt-ify something you wear. Try some visible mending and embellish existing pieces, or make a tote or hat or apron.</div><div style="box-sizing: inherit;"> </div><div style="box-sizing: inherit;">Another option is to use the theme in a quilt. Make a wall hanging about your passion for shoes, or try that <a href="https://tidd.ly/49VcjVF" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #bc258b; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.2s ease-in-out 0s, background-color 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;">Ugly Sweater quilt block pattern</a> (#ad).</div></div></div></h2><h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #bc258c; font-size: 3.5rem; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 20px; text-transform: uppercase;"><div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-size: 17px; text-transform: none;"><div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 400;"><br /></div><div style="box-sizing: inherit;">She went on to say the following:</div><div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 400;"> </div><div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 400;">... there’s a special opportunity for you this week! You can make a piece of clothing. Any piece of clothing you sew will qualify this week: pajama pants, an Easter dress, a jacket, a skirt – you can do it all. And for this, I’m making a one-time-only exception to the usual PQ rules about 3-layers or embellished or pieced, etc. This week only, if you whip up a sewn piece of clothing (from a pattern is fine!) you can enter it in PQ! </div><div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 400;"><i style="box-sizing: inherit;">(I’m doing this to allow us scaredy-cats a growth opportunity to try apparel sewing.)</i></div><div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 400;"> </div><div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 400;">Now, don’t get carried away breaking the rules – you still have to BEGIN and END your project between 3/3/24 and 3/10/24 (no WIP projects, please), and it still has to be FINISHED. Done means buttoned, bound, hemmed, zipped, snapped or tied with a bow – your project must be finished to qualify.</div><div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 400;"> </div><div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 400;">I cannot WAIT to see where you take this one!</div></div></h2></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Step Three...</span></b></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Explore the possibilities.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>What are you thinking, Joyful???</b></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">My first thought was to make a pair of pieced earrings, but I do love upcycling denim.

We're all waiting for Angela to let us in on her little secret of what color scraps we'll be digging into during the month of March. On a personal level, it should be a moderately calm week. There are a few regularly scheduled events on the calendar, as well as on previously postponed class. It's an "off" week for ProjectQUILTING, so that should allow time for almost anything I'd like to do. Some decluttering and some art-ing, too? I may even have time for some quilting!</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Read on to see how the week progressed...</b><br /></span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>SUNDAY</b> - The day began with my Weekly Morning Art Zoom where I enjoyed creating the following prompt-free page to use some new-to-me supplies:</span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I've committed. </span><span>Have you heard of it? It's particularly popular on Instagram.

Perhaps, if I change the project to fit my needs, I could do this.</div><div style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></div><div>Lighten the load!!!</div><div style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></div><div style="font-weight: 400;">I'm changing the scope of my project to 100 Items Decluttered in 100 Days. My home and studio NEED this project! The house isn't awful, but could benefit from having fewer things in it. The studio, on the other hand, is a complete HOT MESS!!</div><div style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></div><div>Here's the plan...</div><div style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></div><div style="font-weight: 400;">The decluttering hasn't been going well up to this point. I could use some extra motivation. I believe The 100 Day Project will provide that. Surely, joining an international accountability project might be just the incentive I need to focus on decluttering.</div><div style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></div><div>NOTE:<span style="font-weight: 400;"> I am NOT committing to decluttering an item EVERY day! I find that I often tend to do better in batches. Some days I just can't cope with decluttering at all. If I happen to declutter 100 items in 50 days, so much the better! I plan to continue removing layers of stuff for the entire length of The 100 Day Project.</span></div><div style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></div><div style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></div></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmk3mU6pKCBE8GAc_8UIH_wOcodC0YIkcJpreudpQVQbJqOyXAJ08Krj2I2e0ksPXRMeXMujUfs8u-RtgQZwfkTLYBAkC0iss1a3g5NvBK1qNah2bDI8suOJqdwNOWpaYioXz_OQBuxDCNttQd56NIYrja6vsS7-WBswIw0poiCDuLa05U3EBKa7xZL_S5/s4032/PXL_20240218_174216094.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmk3mU6pKCBE8GAc_8UIH_wOcodC0YIkcJpreudpQVQbJqOyXAJ08Krj2I2e0ksPXRMeXMujUfs8u-RtgQZwfkTLYBAkC0iss1a3g5NvBK1qNah2bDI8suOJqdwNOWpaYioXz_OQBuxDCNttQd56NIYrja6vsS7-WBswIw0poiCDuLa05U3EBKa7xZL_S5/s320/PXL_20240218_174216094.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div><br /></div><div><div>@dothe100dayproject</div><div>#The100DayProject</div><div>#DoThe100DayProject</div><div>#100Days100Things_TheDeclutterEdition</div><div>#100Days100ThingsDecluttered</div><div>#filltheboxjoy</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Follow me on Instagram @thejoyfulquilter.</div><div><br /></div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Until next time...</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Wish me luck!!</b></span></div>The Joyful Quilterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10706614750500929214noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759118519547222862.post-52041225973334131402024-02-17T20:24:00.001-05:002024-02-17T20:24:41.837-05:00ScrapHappy Saturday - RSC24 - Week 7<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Welcome to Week 7 of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!!</b><span> This week, was a mixed bag of life, love, art, and sewing.

I am pleased to announce the return of Jane from Australia to our list of participants!</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Here she is with news from "Down Under"...</b></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Hello Joy,</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Thought I would catch up with you again and ask if I can be part of the Table Scraps challenge again. Unfortunately I still don’t have a blog and would need to send you a pic to post for me each month, or when I can make it.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">I have been checking your blog weekly and so am aware of your doings, especially all the journaling you are delving into.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">I have been extremely busy as our group staged a quilt show last September. We currently have 42 peeps, but of course some were travelling and others not in good health, but we still did amazingly well.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">We had almost 140 quilts hanging, had 3 traders in attendance, served lunch and teas, sold raffle tickets, operated our own trading table and did the white gloves bit over 2 days.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Our goals were - to put on a great quilt show, to have fun, and to not have a financial disaster. We checked all the boxes! Over the 2 days we had 700 visitors who were very happy, and have been able to make donations to one major charity and five community groups.</span></span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span><b>About her challenge participation...</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">This year I am going through many of the ways to finish the edges of a quilt, and will be showing one method each month. I have decided to finish a placemat each month - much more achievable than a quilt, and thought I might try to pull in the RSC colour and your challenge if at all possible.</span></span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span><b>Concerning her entry...</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">We live in Queensland which is tropical/ subtropical (it’s a very large area) so we never see snow here.
