The Purple Invasion

Last six orange blocks missing were made. Three on Sunday and 

three on the first of July. 

It was fun to just sew. I have acute "fed-up-itis" of cutting fabric. I'll take a break for a while. 

But! As I was getting the purple scraps out, two fabric begged to become April Fool's blocks. Who am I to say no? So, I cut some more.

Where did the orange scrap finished at ? 

Beginning of June. 

End of June. See the difference? Beside the little baggie getting fully stuffed, I don't see much differences. The basket looks like it was fluffed up. 

On to purple, which is a rare colour in my sewing room. 

Two regular Ziploc bags. Not much of an invasion, haha. I hope I'll have more time to sew in July than I did in June.  

Baby Quilts Kits

Some baby kits were cut, tagged and bagged. I love to look at the crate filling up. 

These are milk crate because in Canada, milk comes in bags. They are very sturdy and light (the crates, not the milk bags, lol).  

To be honest, these are not all CUT baby quilt kits. 

The ones in the crate were mentioned in the last post. 

On the deck, from the left, it's a panel with some matching fabric, not cut. The next three are just matching fabric, not cut. All these have no patterns. The ladies can do whatever they want. They are called Surprise Pattern. In the L'Oréal bag are strips for a Jelly Roll Race kind of quilt or a Surprise Pattern. As they wish. If there isn't enough fabric, we can always add border(s). 

The big bag next to the crate is full of strings. I don't know if one of them likes to make string blocks but I'll soon found out. 

Total is 9 kits done. 

Then I did this: 

Not the best lining job but it works. When we'll get together for a "Cutting Scrap Day", each crate will hold a certain size. The crates carry way more than my little boxes so it will be less trip to car to load everything up at the end of the day. They also stack up better because of the ridge they have. 

The lining fabric is almost as old as I am. It's from my mother's stash. I thought it was a good place as any to use it up. If it rips, so be it. 

Today will see me sewing some purple blocks. Maybe line another crate but will definitely grab the graph paper and plan more baby quilts. It will be an easy, lazy weekend. 🧵✂🍹

Hope you find time to do things you enjoy too.
