What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I have all the blocks I need to make this rainbow project into a top. I have really enjoyed making this. I liked using my smallest pieces to make the string rectangles into something useful. By using the rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy. the colors are bright and happy. I have moved them to a box of their own and plan to take them with me to open sews for assembly.

This block has ...

I am barely finishing these hole in the barn blocks for the month of August and the rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy.

I think I have nearly all of them that I need for the quilt.

I have a few zipper blocks ready to go. I just don't have many orange scraps. I like orange in quilts, but it isn't an often used color.

still canning from the garden

ummm - no! Should I fix it? haha

Why, yes, yes,  I should. Some days are vexing. I ran out of bobbin thread too! But, July's purple hole in the barn blocks are finished for the  rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy. I have a growing stack of blocks. I know we haven't done orange. What other colors?

I really like making these blocks and see another quilt in my future. I am making this as part of the  rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy. This month is blue. I am never at a loss for blue scraps. They multiply while I am asleep. I also do not have a shortage of strings and crumbs, so, a perfect combination.

I guess, I wanted a little shamrock luck making these hole in the barn blocks for the rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy.

I grabbed a bucket of strings and crumbs and started sewing pieces together for my hole in the barn quilt. I feel like I am going to run out of the strips before I am done with all the colors for the rainbow scrap challenge. I only need the rectangles to be 2 1/2 inch wide. It is a great opportunity to use the small pieces.

I enjoyed my Mother's day with church and family for dinner. But, it certainly wore me out ...

I am cutting more pink scraps from 2 1/2 inch strips.

 Hubby and I traveled to a fiber fair yesterday in Greencastle Indiana. It was the first one since the pandemic started.

I have more than enough fleece already at home, but they look so nice for spinning.

Loved these grain silos

I used some strings and crumbs and made yellow hole in the barn blocks for the rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy. This block really makes me smile. Winter is trying to make a comeback here, but, it won't last. Until then, these will perk up rainy days.

We planned to attend a hook in ( rug hooking) in Nashville Indiana last weekend, but, our freezer took it's last breath. So, the weekend was quick buying a freezer ( the real ordeal), waiting for delivery, and switching a million pounds of food from one to another. Geesh, we are getting too old for this nonsense. how did that happen?

I took little bits of strings and crumbs and made the fabric for the Hole in the barn blocks. I wasn't planning on doing this, this year, but, there are a few too many small pieces of scraps that ...

  My 5 quilts progress report.

1. Rainbow scrap challenge - yellow/gold  I am working on my hole in the barn blocks. I didn't think I was going to add these this year, but, I did. SO, I am catching up red from January, and aqua from February.

I used adding machine tape to see if I like it. Yes, I did, but it was a pain in the neck, so, I thought I could eyeball 2 1/2 inches and just started sewing long strips. Much better.
