"SUMMER FANS", et al

 

In going through my stash, picking out destash
fabrics, I found these little fans hiding away in
my "blues" stack ....
{Oh my gosh, I had forgotten 
all about these
little cuties!!"}....
They just inspired me...
And.... 
I decided that everybody needs a "fan" in this
heat wave ;))) 

and so....

I picked some cool greens; went into my
greens little 
"bits and bobs" baggie; and
made some "strippies" to put 
between
my little blocks.
and for the 
1/4 corner arcs...

The only fabric that comes from a 1/2 yd stash piece 
is the final border.....
********************************
And speaking of my stash...

I have been "halving" all my fabrics for donating 
to a few quilters who make donation quilts...
Since I am no longer able to handle making
big quilts I decided that 
I would give some 
fabrics to people 
who will use them...so
many can enjoy the fruits of their labors..
😍
And
I still have a lot left, believe me....
👀😮👀

I have gone through 5 major colors and
have four left from the 
color coded stacks
I had set up...
And....
[this does not take into account
any boxes or coordinating 
fabric lines that I have hoarded :
eg. my "Ghastlies" line
which I plan to use for my grand girls'
project in the "thinking stages"
right now ...etc etc!!!]

Plus I just got a lovely pkg from 
Quiltdivajulie of tone-on-tones
that is just amazing...
thanks you so much QDJulie
for your generous gift...
💝💖💓

*********************************
Since i have to be resting my hands from actual
stitching...I have set up the next two
pages in my batting book ready
to be stitched when I can....
This whole book uses just cut offs and scraps....
of favorite fabrics 
that I have accumulated a long time 
and want to remember..
It should be fun paging through this
book and seeing them all....

"Moonrise Over Water"

"Ocean Flower"

These are the next on my list 
to be worked on...
For now they are just resting on my little 
corner table....
***********************


It is 91.2 degrees with a 
"feels like" temp of 101.8 out there...
[We are staying in our AC...]
This keeps on going "UP"-it is
now only 3:15p.m.--

At least the dew point has dropped
off a bit to 75--
Uhhh????
Did I say "dropped off"????
Imagine that, everything is
relative, I guess...

Stay cool everyone, and hydrate....
