Books or Scraps or Both and a Finish

The Studio Organizing Task choices this month from Shelly were Tackle Books and Magazines or Work on Scraps.  I decided I would tackle the books and magazines.  I did this last year so they aren't in too bad of shape.

Wouldn't you know the first book I pulled out was Joan Ford's Cut the Scraps (can you say "SQUIRREL'?), so I've been working on scraps.

Several years ago I started this and managed to get four color tubs completed.

Then I got to this one and went UGH!!!  So I quit.

Since that task has come around again I believe I can do this.  Just keep plugging away, right?

While my sister was here I did a little hand stitching so we could visit and I could still get my stitchin time in.  She doesn't quilt and I hate hand work.

Hand work is necessary if you choose a Jen Kingwell design.  I completed 6 of these while she was here.  I only need 14 more.

I haven't picked up the needle since she left on Saturday. 😏

I've played a little thread chicken this month and won both times.  YAY!!!

Now, on to the finishes.  I finished a customer quilt.

It was quilted using Urban Elements Paisley Park Pantograph with white Glide thread.

And my own finish.  This was finished on the 3rd of the month.  I'm just getting around to taking photos. 

Buttercup and Slate by Moda jelly roll quilted with Urban Elements Vintage and quoting one of my stitchin buddies,, this pantograph is "above my pay grade".  It will be fine once it's washed and crinkled but I'm not sure I will use it again.

That's it from me today.

Wishing you more stitchin time than I will have.
