Thrift Blocks Are Happening Here




My sewing time this week focused on more 2-inch thrift blocks for the Scrappy Meets Thrift Challenge Sew-Along sponsored by Repro Quilter.  I finished 38 this week.  I should have pushed just a little harder and finished two more since I’ve been bagging them in groups of 20 to help me keep count.

 


This is a peek at my very messy sewing station these days.  I’ve been watching lots of YouTube videos while stitching away.  Paper piecing creates lots of tiny scraps from trimming up squares and I haven’t even started de-papering any blocks yet. 

 


Speaking of messes, the city was repaving the streets in our neighborhood this week.  That combined with the hot weather made staying inside very appealing though I did manage to make it to my monthly Guild meeting as well as my Tuesday quilting group.

 

I’ll be pulling out the cutting table again this week.  An unexpected opportunity to be part of another quilting retreat late in July has surfaced and I need to start prepping for that as well as our other travel plans in early July.  July is shaping up to be a busy month.

repaving streets is kind of a smelly business in the heat I think - all that stuff stinks! nice quilt blocks
