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.

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.

Have to keep myself busy during this stressful pre-storm time or I'll go batty!!

I know it can be waiting for a storm..I lived in Massapequa when Gloria came thru..Now I live in FLA, which is supposed to be hurricane heaven, but as of yet, have not had a major storm hit where I live..(Thank God)..Be safe and prep enough hand work to gewt thru it all..will be thinking about you all that way

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.
