My back is somewhat better (thank you for all your good wishes), so I was able to sew a little this week. But first ....
What's in the bag? Last week, Carole brought me two more scrap bags. I wanted to see if there was some yellow in there. Want to see?
I pulled out many bags from the first bag. The second one is the "A" bag. The H&M bag is full of small scraps.
This is the loot from the purple bag. Lots of pink on the right. It will surely topped my pink scrap basket. The batting in the middle is not the kind I'm use to. It feels like it's for stuffing pillows or something.
Just a little bit of yellow was found. I flipped the pink bag so you can see the other side. You're welcome.
This piece is sewn. They used to do this when the manufacturers got at the end of the huge roll. They sewn the edges flat together and just kept rolling it in bolt. This was done a very long time ago so this fabric must be vintage.
The "A" bag had lots of scraps, I mean lots of scraps but I also got a very good chunk of purple cotton and a yellow and grey fabric out of it. The pink one is textured and not made of cotton. It will go to the thrift store.
It also had the leftover of a farmer theme quilt. It will probably go to the thrift store too.
But my favourite are these pieces. Meow!
Yellow, Yellow on the wall,
Tell me if I've accomplished anything at all.
I worked with the gold scraps and a little bit with yellow.
Oh! My! Burning toasts! What happened to the geese? They are flying in all direction. They must have seen a squirrel or two coming out of those bags. 😄 Or the cat!
They were reunited with their flock the next evening. 😊
Three blocks for the April Fool quilt were also made. Seven more to go.
At the retreat, Mary did a little needle book for each one of us. Isn't it pretty. I'm using it daily and yet forgot to mention it here. So, here it is. Thanks again, Mary. 💗
We had some warm weather lately. We know it won't last but it is still nice to have a "Spring feeling" at this time of the year.
That's all I have for now. Have a great week everyone.
Enjoy!
;^)
I will visit these talented ladies over the weekend. Hope to catch you there.

You have been on a treasure hunt! Glad you found some useable goodies in those scrap bags. The needle book is adorable!
You have some great scraps in those bags. I like the blocks you are working on.
You got a fair amount of YELLOW sewing done, Chantal. Congrats on your scrap enhancement! I really like that yellow and gray print from the A bag. It would make a lovely border and/or backing for a small project!
Ooooh, encore plein de merveilles dans ces sacs ! Les chats sont adorables ! J'adore tes blocs avec les oies, quelles merveilles. Très joli porte-aiguilles, et bien pratique. Bises !
So happy the flock got together! LOL Those blocks look great & that needle case your friend made is super nice. Isn't it great to have crafty friends?
Sorting all those scrap bags is definitely an accomplishment, as well as getting the geese to fly in the right direction! Pretty blocks. Adorable needle book.
Lovely to have more!! scraps to play with. The grey and yellow looks pretty. Your yellow blocks are looking great and the little needlecase so useful. xx
PS glad the back is feeling better. xx
Lots of goodies in those scrap bags. Such a good idea to pass the unwanted items on to the thrift store. Someone will make use of them.
You'll have lots to choose from out of your scrap bags and you are making great progress in the yellows. :)
What a haul! it is always interesting to see what comes in a scrap bag. That has to be vintage fabric. . .interesting how things were done in the past.
I have to admit that I wondered what the pattern was going to be for the yellow, black and white blocks. I thought it might be an improv sort of quilt. Looks like you got them back in formation just fine. Yes, warmer weather for just a bit was a great boost. I even opened some windows for a couple of hours. Loved the smell of fresh air.
Wow, lots of fun there with going through those bags. You just never know what you might find, do you. Lovely needle book too , Chantal.
Love that cat fabric!
Glad you are feeling better! What great finds in the scrap bag and you are making good progress on yellow. :)
I love the diamond blocks. What a fascinating pattern - flying geese meets log cabin!
Your geese got lost - his GPS went awry!! haha - Love these blocks!
