It's July and It's Stinking Hot

It will be another humid, sticky, stinky 35 to 40 Celsius here (again) today. Enough, please!  

On to fun things. 

To make an April Fool block, you need a large piece of scrap. Since my purple scrap doesn't amount to much, I had to get some bigger pieces from the local quilting store (read my stash)! 

I wish I could use and finish this purple one from 2009 but, nope, too small.  

Six more were done over the weekend, three on each day. 

Then the last 2 were done during the week. Yay! All the purple blocks are made for that project. 

The pieces pulled from the stash are now part of the scraps, so instead of decreasing the scraps, I added to it. (Sounds familiar, Diann?) 

Today, I'll look for pieces to make the Flying Home blocks. 

Of course, I did the usual 9-Patch blocks instead of the Rail Fence that need to be done.

Nine Patch are so cuter than Rail Fence in my book. Bottom left is a block for the Bonus Point quilt, all purple and orange. Mmmm! So pretty. 

I had to go to Walmart for some personal items and walked to the craft corner for some white threat. 

WELL!  Can you guess what happened? 

Oh, yep! 

These jumped into my arms. I really don't know how that happened. LOL

The black one is for the baby quilt kit "I Spy with black and white squares". So, that one is needed. The others wanted to be adopted. Sigh! What can I say? I have a sensitive heart. 

I did a new Puss in the Corner block in purple. The block used up all the diagonal purple print I had. 

The blue one has been pinned to the design wall for a while now. It's hard to read on the photo but above the sewing machine it's written: You're Sew Amazing. Awwwhhh! It came in a gifted bag. My friends give the best scrap ever. 

Anywho! It's still on the design wall because I can't find something that matches or compliments it. 

The adopted fat quarters were so happy to be rescued that they went to work right away. 

Ta-dah! 

Also did 2 Rail Fence blocks as leader-ender because I felt bad for ignoring it. 

Tonight, we are celebrating my MIL 85th birthday. It's a BBQ. Outside. I wonder how she will enjoy it in this humidity and heat, poor MIL. 

That's all from me. Have a great week. Stay cool.
