\"Scrap<\/a>
Scrap cutting result – February<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Another month, another Sew Day. I spent another Sew Day cutting up scraps, just like last time<\/a>. I cut a big pile and made a dent, but I didn’t finish cutting up all of my scraps. I spent about 5 hours. My scraps are still not limited to the Desktop Cube<\/a> I made for the purpose, which is disappointing. They need to be contained since my cutting table is small enough without it being overrun by scraps.<\/p>\n

\"Mom<\/a>

My mom came with me. Yay! She was well enough to spend the whole day out! I kept her supplied with pain medications and food. She said it went well. I kept her quiet and at home the next two days and she is doing ok. I was so relieved that she didn’t have a complete relapse. It sound ridiculous, but I can’t help but worry about her.<\/p>\n

\"Tim's<\/a>

Tim just got back from a retreat with Mitzi of Jittery Wings<\/a>. He came over the other day to use my design wall and continued that work at Sew Day. His quilt is a whole bunch of HSTs<\/a> and Flying Geese. Sounds like Old Town<\/a>, right? LOL!<\/p>\n

One thing I love about HSTs is how many different designs quiltmakers can sew using only HSTs. Of course, as I said, Tim’s quilt has whole bunch of HSTs and Flying Geese.<\/p>\n

\"Mary's<\/a>
Mary’s Crisp Blue quilt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mary was working on a quilt for a friend going into the hospital and it looks so crisp.<\/p>\n

This is a simple Rail Fence design. She used a couple of jelly rolls she had and it looks so great! I also like how complex it looks. I just love block quilts. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The guild was having a Community Sew Day. People worked on a variety of different designs. I cut up my scraps, as noted above, and didn’t participate there. I couldn’t bring Mom and my machine. I just wasn’t up for it. I did, however, bring Orangeade<\/a> and several donation blocks. I definitely want to contribute but I don’t need to do it at Sew Day.<\/p>\n

One of the quilt tops they worked on was similar to the Infinity Quilt<\/a> I made for one of my nephews.<\/p>\n

\"Community<\/a>
Community 9 Patch quilt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Claire is a great one for rescuing usable fabric. She had a group of men’s shirts and people were working on 9 patches out of that beautiful fabric. The fabric was very soft and had a nice weave. I don’t know what the ultimate design will be, but it will work very well for a boy or man once it is finished.<\/p>\n

Mom was sitting across from Lynette who was working on these blocks. I wanted her to sit at the other table so she had some new people with whom to talk. I am sure it is boring just talking to me all day.<\/p>\n

\"Community<\/a>

The other design was similar to Mary’s Rail Fence. I couldn’t figure out why this was a such a weird shape. I think the rectangles were actually made in two parts, but I really don’t know.<\/p>\n

Anyway the Community quilt team did a great job prepping for the event. There were a lot of people at Sew Day, which was nice. Mostly, I was pleased that Mom had a good time and was able to get out and see the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
