When you win scraps, make a quilt.

A couple of months ago I won a giveaway from the Silly Mama Quilts. That was my first win and as I didn't really know what to expect I was a little surprised to receive an envelope of scraps.  When I put them on the design wall to see what I had, this is about half of what I saw.

I left them up on the wall while I racked my brain for what to do with them. I watched the Oh Scrap! Sundays for inspiration.  I did finally see one that piqued my interest.  Here is my version of what I saw.

I still have at least half of the scraps left.  I don't have much imagination so I will be searching for another idea.  Thanks for scrap sharing.

Wishing you more sewing time than I will have.

What did Art Linkletter say? Kids say the darndest things.

Okay, I have been quilting the "Big One" and I finished a flimsy made of scraps won in a giveaway,  but haven't taken pics yet.  Maybe will get them tomorrow and share.

I just had to tell this story:  Some of you know that our son and his 6 yr old daughter live with us.  The other day she asked her daddy if she could have an ice cream sandwich.  He told her "after dinner".

I heard him say after dinner but I didn't hear what she had asked for.  I could guess.

I started back to the sewing room and she came running after me.  "Gigi"
Me:  Yes ma'am?
Lump:  Can I have an ice cream sandwich?
Me:  Didn't your daddy say after dinner?
Lump:  Why can't I have one?
Me:  Because your daddy said after dinner.

I proceeded to the sewing room then came back and asked her daddy if he had told her she could have an ice cream sandwich after dinner?  He loooooked at her and said "did you ask gigi for an ice cream sandwich after I already told you after dinner?"

She looked at him and said "Well, Gigi is the boss of this house."  We all had a great laugh.  Her poppy said he liked the way she thinks.  But we also let her know that when daddy tells her something that gigi is not going to against him.

Isn't she a precious lump? (Thus the name Lump)

Wishing you more sewing time than I will have.

I can't decide

I'm joining  Meadow Mist Designs for the Mosaic Mystery Quilt.  I can't decide on the fabric choice.

Maybe I will make both.

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July

I've been working on quilting the "Big One" but, I did get a little bit of piecing time this week.  I finished the Threadology quilt top.  This was completed (except for the borders) from the scrap bins.

The back of this is also pieced. It is now in cue for quilting.

Wishing you more quilting time than I will have.
