STRINGS AND THINGS

 
My Low volume String
"Early Spring"
piece is all hand quilted...
And
Here is the back
where you can see that I did the 
vertical and horizontal
seam lines on either side

*******************************

Remember I mentioned a BIG
BAG of various scraps??
Cut offs, small bits, orts, etc...
all mostly darker fabrics
that needed sorting?



 this is how I've spent my
day..
What a mess...
DH started to ask me
"Why did you put that one on that
pile--isn't it...?" 
I ignored it totally--if I began
overthinking I would 
NEVER EVER
get it done...
I sorted by color and then bagged

Here are the first few piles
I started...
What a mammoth job!!
👀👹
Maybe now I will REMEMBER
to put the scraps in each color coded bag
AS I GO!!!😱😳😵
YA THINK???
********************
So now I can make a start on hand quilting 
the two dolly quilts for Willa and Fiona...
Nice small projects...

I sent off my donation blocks and
tops yesterday....
AND...
LO AND BEHOLD
👀
Look what I received
in the mail from 
Julie Sefton of 
"Me and My Quilts"
Blog...

All precut and packaged!!
And low volume which 
I really totally need!!


Wasn't this the most generous gift???
With the cutest card....

Aren't quilters just the nicest
people??
