Some Red, Some Yellow, Some Done

It is Friday and I have the day off. So, I sew to catch up a little. 

I had a red project that needed to be finished. And it is!
Side A
Don't you love that red tractor. I do! 

The practice FMQ didn't go so well on this one. I have lots on my mind lately and it shows. 
Side B (Wonder how many of you won't know what side A / side B stands for?)

Anywho! Red scrap basket. Checked. 

Look how full it already is! 
Fits right in with the other overflowing baskets. I have to sew faster. :^)




Then, I grabbed the yellow scraps and had a little sewing session.

Button blocks ... done. Spool block ... done. 

So love this bee fabric. 
Had enough to add some to the spool block too. Yay! 


And some more HSTs ... of course. 


In Canada, it is our Thanksgiving long weekend. I plan to sew. Surprised?

Enjoy! 

;^)

Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy your extra sew time. Placemats are a good way to practice free motion quilting. Have a great long weekend.

I'd love to know the specifics of your basket panel and finished size, Chantal. (Your baskets appear tall and narrow.) Congrats on catching up on red, along with making a good start on YELLOW for the RSC!!

Jenny said...

Pretty spools and buttons, I'm doing spool blocks too. And your fabric baskets look great, I really should make something like that to corral all the bits and pieces, so much nicer than plastic bags!

I love that so many of us are making scrap baskets and everyone has a bit of a different technique and they are all fabulous! I’m really fond of your button blocks, too!
