Marching to My Own Drum....

Full of energy tonight, the plans were written down.

Clean my sewing room and...

Quilt a basted top...sitting around for .... how long????......

In my AD/HD mind...did that happen..??

On my way to there, I found here..

U will certainly see.

As I started in on the cleaning, I found a plastic bag that my sister had stuffed

scraps into....trying to help me organize.

I opened it up...and found.....Small HST's sewn...and random scraps.

One more day that my suffering mind has no idea where these came from...

 I also found this adorable scrap fish.

I do not know what the ordinary sewist does...

But, this is what I did, forgetting all about my list.
I was short one middle red square for the bigger Churn Dash.
Of course, out of my many solid reds...none matched.
I found a 20 year old print which I had planned to turn to the wrong side.
But, that did not match either, so I kept the printed side..
I mean , really...this was just a scrap project!!

These small blocks are 5" square, I will just put them into my charm box.

The larger one may be perfect with blue stripes in a place mat.

Our Charlotte Modern Quilt Guild makes place mats for meals on wheels.

How cute is this potholder...the backing will be put on..

some other time...hmmmm

This is what I am left with as the midnight hour approaches.

My grandmother embroidered me a small wall hanging.

"Creative minds are rarely tidy"

My grandmother had my number xo

A Little Fun Break!

 Thanks to my sister Charmaine who took three children on errands with her today and thanks to Ben, who took the Mr. to the pool, in our new cool handicapped van...thanks, thanks, thanks!!  I got a little fun break.

I finished two potholders...long promised for different birthdays.

 I even used this fabric from Miami..ummm 30 years vintage??

 The other day, I got to stop by an antique store where I found these little goodies...They match our wedding set.  Today I cut some Basil to root in the kitchen.so.fun..

Attention all!!!!...I have a fabric room trauma!  

I cannot find my purples.

  Now, really???  Is my sewing room so very messy that my purples have disappeared?? 

 I asked my husband if he had seen them, but I got no answer at all.....so

New proclamation...I am not buying any new fabric!!!!

.  Do not quote me on this...I will accept gifts..!!! 

 And I might buy a fat quarter or two, but this is ridiculous...not to be able to find an entire stack of purples....

Of course when I find the purples, the no more fabric thing might change...just sayin'....
