Welcome to Week 30 of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!! I'm sure Angela is already plotting and planning our next color for the RSC, but for now... Let's see what Dark BLUE damage I can do... SUNDAY - I applied binding to a UFO today. Not a drop of Dark BLUE anywhere to be seen, unless you count the blue tape stuck to my machine: MONDAY - Mini Monday post and a little of this: TUESDAY - I could be found happily stitching away on the binding of my A-6 Mystery, a UFO that I'm hoping to finish by tomorrow. When taking a break from that, I was busy making an attempt at finishing the top of another UFO which include a small amount of Dark BLUE for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge: I also released a NEW edition of Tidy Up Tuesday. WEDNESDAY - I did a couple of really wonderful things today. One, you can read about in my Wonderful Wednesday post and the other... Was a Zoom meeting with LeeAnna @ Not Afraid of Color. Here I am, sporting a bit of Dark BLUE: And here we are once the stars aligned and Zoom decided to work at LeeAnna's house: THURSDAY - Late last night, I discovered that Libby @ Hillside Quilter had posted a photo of her BIG win, along with the mug rug that I made for a swap we did several years ago. They couldn't be more different from one another: This morning, I spent a couple of hours with a few of my favorite quilters. Yep! That's right. It was time for another Weekly Quilt Group meeting on Zoom... ... And I dressed with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge Color of the Month in mind: After the meeting, I was inspired to work on a UFO. The borders for my Sapphire Stars needed a few additional strips for each end, in order to accommodate the angle of the miters I'm planning. Just LOOK at all that lovely Dark BLUE for the RSC: FRIDAY - ZoomKNIT started off my day. I enjoyed visiting with each of these knitty friends: This evening, I posted more UFO progress in today's edition of Design Floor Friday. SATURDAY - It's LINK PARTY day over on Angela's So Scrappy blog. Since you didn't get a lot of Dark BLUE eye-candy here, maybe you could head over to see what the other RSC Quilters have been up to this week. I'm pretty sure at least a few of them have gotten some scrappy sewing done. I'll head over to check out all the links after an outdoor visit with my friend Tracy for coffee and knitting... ... And a quick stop at Candy's to pick-up a stack of storage drawers for under the longarm: Until next time... SCRAP sew safely!!!
Happy New Year! I cannot think of a better way to ring in the New Year than with a little stitching. If you already have the 2024 Mini-a-M...

It's official--I'm old. I filled out my on-line application for Social Security this week--ack! If you owned one of these when they were first popular, you may be old too! I finally made a decision on my extra Temecula Star block and made a bow tie center. I used an alternate block to make the top a little larger and added a strip across the top to make a little space for applique. Since hexagons are all the rage lately, I added some hexie flowers and leaves across the top. These aren't sewn down yet--just glued in place for now. I also finished my third Bountiful Life block and got the fourth one, The Robin's Nest, put together and ready to sew down. These blocks are so much fun! Isn't he sweet-- a valentine and a Golden Delicious apple for his lady friend! Just glued and ready to sew the pieces down. Too bad my arthritic wrist doesn't agree with all this appliqueing! To give the wrist a little rest, I decided to do some machine piecing and put together the first two Grandmother's Choice blocks from Barbara Brackman. For some real inspiration, check out Karen Mowery's blocks here. She is printing her own fabric using Women's Rights motifs-they are wonderful! These are eight inch blocks. I toyed with the idea of also doing a four inch version, but I think I'm over little quilts for a while. I'm going to use my usual blues, tans and browns for this one.
