A "ME" Day......
Can't remember the last time I have had a day to myself...Seriously! When I say "to myself", I mean, I don't have to drive anybody..anywhere... and no one is demanding my time... I don't have to stop what I am doing (quilting related). Sounds a bit selfish...at least that is the way I usually think. But, hey, what about me....I just turned 60 years old and that's the way I am thinking lately. I deserve to be able to say "NO". But today I said "YES" I am sewing and if you want to join in, that is wonderful, but I am staying in my quilting room all day.
Here's what I have been doing...
Michele from The Quilting Gallery put a call out for quilters to make a wonky scrappy log cabin block to be made into quilts to comfort those affected by Hurricane Sandy. I live on the Atlantic Coast so I know about hurricanes. I have lived through a few in my many days and they are a horrifying experience. It's the least I can do. As I was sitting on the floor deciding (loving) on which scraps I would use for this project QuiltyHub snapped a pic. And, I was lamenting to him about the decline of my "SCRASH" and his eyes rolled so far back in his head I thought he must be possessed! The pic above only shows half of my scrap bins!

You look very happy amidst your fabrics! Love the sorted scraps...what a fun time you will have putting the blocks together! Glad you finally had a "me" day!
ReplyDeleteWhen you say you are “Scrapmaster”, you really mean it! Looks like a fun time with that rainbow of colors around you!
ReplyDeleteWhat are the chances of getting my granddaughters to sort my scraps as beautifully as yours?
ReplyDeleteI shall definitely try the soup recipe - will let you know if the tip I was given really works!
Looks like you need a run of making scrappy quilts to use up all those fabulous scraps. You could make at least 10 quilts with all those scraps, woo hoo!!!
ReplyDeleteYou do look happy with your beautiful scraps. I also have a ton of them and I think I have many quilts in my bins that just need to be stitched together. I do have scrap envy though - your bins are sorted and your scraps just look so pretty!
ReplyDeleteSounds great to me...the me time, the piles of scraps to work with and the project. I hope you enjoyed it all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to spend the day and how very well organized you are , all the colors sorted out in containers .I can see by the smile on your face what makes you happy :-)
ReplyDeleteOh wow! That's a lot of fabric. I really enjoy having a good sort out, and so do you by the look on your face. Lol
