I'm not sure it translates right but this expression comes from the old folks in French Canada, meaning you are unable to follow instructions. (T'es sourd d'un oreille, pis tu ou'ais pas d'l'aut'e.)
Angela called out black for September and I'm having fun with brown! Maybe I'll switch next week ... then again ...

August saw the orange scraps diminish to this.
compared to the beginning of the month (photo below), I'm happy with the progress. The little plastic bags hold tiny pieces for crumb blocks.
A "peachy" orange Stained Glass block was finished, photographed with the transitioning 9-patch blocks. Transition from orange to brown not black. I might do some black ones.
And here are the browns I'll be playing with this month.
The brown basket is the same size as the orange one. The thick plastic bag is very big. Let the fun begin.
I received some gift bags last week and, amongst other things, there was this big bag of cut-off Batiks in blue, purple and pink.
You can see that the pieces are not that big. I was wondering about my sanity while going through this bag. "Do I really need more tiny little pieces?" But Batiks is very expensive. "You are NOT the one who paid for it and she gave it away, not caring." "Throw it out. She won't know."
But some were worth saving and then ...
Some beautiful fabric,
and again,
and again. The purple Batik on top is 37 inches long (folded in three here, the others are folded in two). So, after over an hour of going through the bag, the harvest looked like this.
In the gifted bags, I also got this.
Utensils and napkin holder. I thought that was so cute. I don't know who made it and what she used as batting but it is quite stiff.
I've tried to make one of these without the help of the seam ripper and I failed ... Thrice!
I have also worked on my RSC block for next year. Yes, I already found something easy and, hopefully, interesting for you to look at.
Have a Fabulous Week, everyone.
