Still Sew Purple

There was just a tiny little piece of this beautiful purple. What to do with it? 



I had to make-do to finish a purple Stained Glass Block.


Yes, I sew purple, orange and red with red thread. Someone has to use up Mother's stash of thread too. :^) I just couldn't get the pattern to align properly. I tried, tried, and tried again, until I realized that it is directional and I was holding the little piece the wrong way. It sure fooled me. 

Now it is beautifully framed and ready for the next stage: adding the white triangles. 


While I was at it, I framed the two pink ones done back in January. 

Can you find the little piece of scrap from the first photo? 

Crumbs blocks not finished and finished and one 18 Bars blocks. 

The usual 9 Patch blocks along with some Rail Fence blocks. The flower print in the middle blocks is just one long strip. You might see it again paired with yellow, red and maybe blue if there's enough of it. 


Cathy shows us her gorgeous Black-eyed Susan flowers. I miss my yellow rudbeckia. 

 This picture is from a few years ago. The rudbeckia around the clothesline post. 

My clothesline was to the left of this picture. Because the branches of the spruce tree were growing in the way of the clothesline, my DH decided to move the post to the right. I wanted to cut the tree down but the post got moved instead. The grass is mowed but I asked DH not to mowed the rudbeckia bed in the hope that they will grow back. It doesn't look like it will. :^( 

I couldn't find one rudbeckia leaf in the usual spot but if I look behind the hostas ... 

Peek-a-boo! I will move them to the other side so I can admire them from the kitchen once again, next year. 


The end of the month means scrap bags comparison time. Let's see how purple did. 
July first: 
I didn't had much to begin with and ... 


I have even less now. Oh, I'm happy about that! 😸

Baby Quilts Kits

The cutting is still happening. I didn't cut much purple this month but got lots of novelties cut for Happy Blocks and I Spy kits. Hopeful that some will be completed this weekend. 

Today, I'm diving into Aqua! But first coffee! 

Have a wonderful weekend with plenty of sewing time. 
;^)
