I did a lot on Saturday at Sew Day.<\/p>\n

Mom came along, but I didn’t have to do as much for her. She is moving slowly, but moving around a lot more. It is great to see her progress.<\/p>\n

\"Superbloom<\/a>

The first thing I did was cut out pieces for my next Superbloom totes. I was able to, mostly, cut out the larger pieces. That is super helpful, because of my small cutting table.<\/p>\n

I thought I had everything in a project bag, but I didn’t check before I left. It turned out that I forgot ShapeFlex, Soft & Stable and lining for one of the bags. Oh well! I cut out as much as I could, so that is some progress. Definitely better than nothing.<\/p>\n

I also worked on Old Town a bit. I had to line up and mark the pieces for a million Flying Geese, so I did that.<\/p>\n

\"March<\/a>

Finally, I worked on my scrap bin some more. Did I make as much progress as I wanted? No, but I never do. I had about 2 zipper bags of scraps. Now I have 1.5, so some progress.<\/p>\n

First, I cut all  the shapes I need for various projects. Not tons, but quite a few.<\/p>\n

\"Scrap<\/a>

Next, I cut strips, which will be used for quilts like the white color strip top<\/a> I discussed the other day.<\/p>\n

For some reason, I have a lot of orange. I also have a lot of grey, which will add to the grey improv<\/a> top sitting on my design wall. I know they are strips and I should make some color strip blocks with them, but I want to get that grey improv top to the community quilt people. It has been hanging around for an eternity.<\/p>\n

\"Sew<\/a>
Sew Day: real scraps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Finally, I had various real scraps that will end up as an improv quilt in the various colors<\/a> at some point.<\/p>\n

I also found some triangles, which I will make into HSTs for that mythical HST quilt I have on my mind.<\/p>\n

Not bad for a Sew Day. I would have liked to have gotten more done, but what can I do?<\/p>\n

\"Mary<\/a>

Mary put a baby quilt together. It is Playmat – newborn size and made from two charm packs.<\/p>\n

Mom worked on the binding of her first (!!!) quilt while chatting with Friend Julie’s mom who joined us also.  The quilt has been finished except for the binding for years. I am glad she is working on it. I am also glad she has something on which to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
