Tulip door hanger & other progress
You know how sometimes you make a project and don't like it very much? And then it gets quilted, and you find out you really DO like it?

Saturday Sampler & more
Month 2 for Saturday Sampler will be 12 of these black and white blocks. I had to buy a new iron before sewing these since my iron had died on Sunday. The new one is a Hamilton Beach, and it's a heavy one. I think I'm going to like it. I don't put water in my irons, but I do like a good heavy one for my sewing projects.

To Do Tuesday
Oh man - there are so many things this week on my To Do list. I don't even know where to begin. Some of those tasks involve projects that are on-going, but I have a couple of new things on the list too. And some things have nothing to do with sewing.
Monday went by without any sewing at all, but I did get the back deck all cleaned off, the furniture scrubbed and hosed down, and the small flower pots planted. Once that was done, I spent a couple of very relaxing hours out there late in the afternoon - in the shade with my book, listening to the birds chirping and the girls giggling in the pool next door.

Design Wall Monday - May 13
Our Saturday evening was spent attending the school musical Beauty and the Beast. One granddaughter was in the cast, and the other was sitting in the audience with us. So much fun!!

RSC24 week #19
Oh my goodness, this year is just flying by! Today is the big day for our granddaughter's school musical, and I'll finally see that crazy dog costume I made for her in action. We'll miss 2 graduations and graduation parties this evening too, because we'll be at the musical. It's that busy time of year.

Planning ahead
Wednesday was a busy day with minimal time in my sewing room. I used what time I had to do some prepping for more sewing.

One of my goals this week was to get the flimsy done for the spring door hanger.

To Do Tuesday
The final 4 blocks I need for the top are finished, so maybe by the end of the week there will be a completed quilt top.
Now - Do you know what this is?

RSC24 - Week #18
The pink scrap bin has been overflowing, and the pink stash drawer won't even close right now. And of course there was quite a lot of pink in the Big Grey Tote that was added to the mix this week.

Small finishes
Pillowcases have always been one of my Go To projects. I love making them and give a lot as gifts, plus I've donated many dozen over the years.

Sewing leads to organizing - sometimes
As I have been working hard to finish some quilt tops and some small projects lately, I've also "stirred up" the fabric in various bins and drawers.
Boxed Squares has been an on-going Rainbow Scrap Challenge project for a couple of years. I've always liked mixing black with bright colors, and have collected a lot of black and white prints. Every time I dug into the drawer full of black solids and black/white prints the contents of that drawer became a bigger and bigger mess. Now that Boxed Squares is a finished top (48 x 66), it was time to organize that stash drawer holding those black and white prints so I could put them back neatly.
