Orange Improv Donation top-early September 2019
Orange Improv Donation top-early September 2019

I worked hard during the past week to make this piece large enough to call it done. I am scraping the bottom of my orange drawer to have enough! I am still liking the way it looks.

    Thank you for sharing! I remember 9/11 I had the TV on and was getting ready to teach my first…

  2. JayeL on Stupid Charm SquaresTuesday, September 2, 2025

    I agree and just wish pre-cuts were accurate. I should look up an article to see if it says anything…

  3. JayeL on September Travel PillowcaseTuesday, September 2, 2025

    I think so. I hope they encourage my nephews to change their pillowcases!!

  4. JayeL on Improv Pieces FinishedTuesday, September 2, 2025

    Those were extra/leftover shapes from something else. I just threw them in since they were grey!
