after reading about what your were doing today and all threads about scraps, I started by making a wide strip from my huge pile left over strips....then I cut that strip into strips., and sewed black strips inbetween, changing the direction of each strip set...then it still didn't looked that good, so I squared it up and cut four triangles and then changed their positions and resewed....I quilted it and made a zippered tote with the back having a pocket made from a leftover block from the quilt I made for Joann's contest (which I didn't win)...made a long, wide shoulder strap and added a left over scrap strip....done! I'll try to add pictures....The process, as always was the fun part!

I didn't get any sewing done today. Had lunch with my college son. My back has been bothering me so I am just taking it easy. tomorrow is a quick trip to the grocery store after church and then I am home until Wed. Mine, Dh and ds's schools have all canceled for Monday and Tues. I will be sewing tomorrow and then if we lose power I have some hand quilting to do and some cutting I can do in the day light.

Awesome!!! Fingers cross you will.

I just started Judy Niemeyer's Indian Summer quilt. I have 21 gorgeous batik fabrics to work with. It makes me happy just to be with such beautiful fabric. I am one happy woman.

Had a headache all morning, so didn't get anything done.
This afternoon I crochet 2 flowers to put on boot cuffs that I'm making. Now I'm sewing the cuffs together. Yesterday I finished my Christmas quilt. |

I'm going to spend my alone time (my husband works for the power company and has been ordered to work out east for the duration) manning the generator and French drain pumps if we lose power, but I'm also going to be cutting fabrics for a couple of Christmas gifts. Have to keep myself busy during this stressful pre-storm time or I'll go batty!!

I'm working on a Christmas quilt. I bought a 1/2 yard bundle of metallic Christmas fabrics. Wasn't sure what to do with it. So, I decided to cut them into 2 1/2 in strips. I added three more from my stash. It's really different than anything I've done before. We'll see how it turns out.
