What's Up Tuesday?

Today I awoke early as usual and was looking at my e-mail and reading my collection of older quilting magazines.  I came across a very interesting scrap quilt project.  It used columns of muslin about 4-6" wide and very long strips.  To each of these strips were sewn scrap pieces of fabric startng about the middle then sewing from there to each end.  I liked the idea since I remembered I have some muslin about 4-5" wide in a roll.  MMMmmm maybe I could try this method of using, my scraps,  since I have a lot of scraps and I have been doing scrappy things lately like making pot holders and purses.  It is a cloudy and rainy day out so maybe I will start on this project.  "after my am shower of course."  so stay tuned in.  I just might have a picture or 2 to show you by day's end....

Up Early today! My Creative Juices are flowing

This Morning I awoke early with thoughts of quilting a small runner for my kitchen shelf.  One in autumn colors with pumkins and leaves on it...I thought I might get out my Cricut and cut some of them from fabric and use my new found block pattern to make 2 background blocks which I could appllique them too.  will let you know how they turn out.  It will be another busy day for me today.  I have some hand sewing repairs to do and a button to create for a client.  then some hemming to do on a choir robe and two pair of childrens pants with a waist to take in.  I am looking forward to a fun day.  I also am going to my ABW (American Baptist Women's) group to tie some blankets today and then off to my daughters to pick up the jams I canned on Sat/Sun. 
Later this eve I will go to my Tuesday Night Bible Study, "The Story" is a great book we are studing that encompasses the Bible in linear form from Genisis thru.  We have a great discussion time and I do enjoy the groups....
All in all a busy day!  Lovin it tho

I will take pictures of my progress on my little runner.... Enjoy the day everyone.
