Who sent the Squirrel?! from Grandma's Red Needle

Since last Saturday I've been doing a little bit tidying on the sewing table.

Before I packed away the red fabrics (RSC April), I made these two small hot pads. Aren't they cute?

The rectangle one measures a bit shy of 6.75 x 8.75 inches

The round one is 8.25 inches across

But that was not what I was going to talk about!

I had finished some items for my Etsy Shop, the hot pads, and the 'plan' was to sandwich another UFO (my goal for May)

After a delicious morning cuppa, I was going ...

RSC Week 12 - More Yellow Blocks and a few Finishes from Grandma's Red Needle

I thought I was done with yellow for this month's RSC (Rainbow Scrap Challenge).

Nope!

Those of you who have followed my blog for some time, know I'm cutting scraps into squares in sizes from 1.5" to 5".

I'm trying my best to use those squares, but it looks like some sizes are less used, like 3.5".

This box containing 3.5" squares were overflowing and it was hard getting the cover on.

Something had to be done!

I got the idea to make 9-patches in RSC colors! I started with yellow.

I got 3 ...

A finished UFO and What Came Out of the Rest from Grandma's Red Needle

It's early Easter Monday morning. I've had my breakfast and brewed coffee. I love early mornings; enjoying the first cuppa of the day, the quietness (hubby still sleeping) and the best of all; reading latest blog posts to see what dear quilters have been up to lately. You all are so creative and especially I love the RSC challenge many of you participate in. Lots of great projects!

What have I been up to the last weeks? Busy sewing, of course! The best of all, I have a FINISHED UFO; kitchen wall organizer!

It became a UFO because ...

time well spent . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

The association I work for had its 182nd Annual Meeting last Tuesday. It's a big deal for me and a lot of prep work and a long day . . . but we get the Wednesday and Thursday following the meeting off, giving me a long, five-day weekend.

And I made good use of that time!

Wednesday, I met Joc and the girls at Tate Farms for my annual pilgrimage to the pumpkin patch. I didn't bring home a single pumpkin (can you believe it?!), but we spent an hour or so hanging out in the corn crib!

Literally.

We all ...
