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
ReplyDeleteI continue to be amazed at your 2-inch blocks! Your sewing space is so pretty, looks like you have a nice view when the blinds are open.
ReplyDeleteWe would welcome the city repaving our street. The roads in this tiny town are horrible, big holes, crumbling away on the sides, and "no money" to fix them, in spite of our sky-high taxes. We are still considering moving from this place, but packing does not sound like fun.
Hope your retreat is someplace cool!
I can't imagine pulling papers out of those tiny blocks.
ReplyDeleteRepaved streets are nice to drive on so I guess it is worth a few days of inconvenience and smell.
