WHATS IN THE BOX? Or bag or bin or basket.

More specifically my 2" scale Civil War scrap box. I knew what I had in it for  the most part. Let me show you.

The 2" scale refers to the finished size of the square and the pieces that would fit with it. So I include:

 2 1/2" squares

 2 7/8" triangles

2 1/2" x 4 1/2" rectangle and 6 1/2" long too

4 1/2" squares and

4 7/8"triangles 

A little pile of 2 1/2" strips 

And miscellaneous quarter square triangles ...

Before I tell you about the latest book I read, I want to apologize for the wrong link. I recently shared with you about my birthday presents for myself. I got this wonderful olive/pickle container…and I put in the wrong link. THIS is the correct link to purchase it. I loved mine so much that …

Good morning, my friends. How is everyone doing? I'll admit I'm worried about you folks up there in Northwestern Washington. We passed through some of the areas I'm reading about both going to and coming from Alaska, and so it feels just a little personal.  If you're among the folks evacuated, then I hope this ends well for you. Having faced an evacuation order a few years back, I'm sympathetic to how nerve wracking it is. Please stay safe. 

The rain has stopped in our area...temporarily, at least. We can see patches of blue ...

 We worked on getting a few things finished this week. Marg is almost finished her blues/greys sampler.. And here at home I cut a bunch of reds and beiges into 6 7/8 inch squares to make a 48x60 quilt. It is fairly fast sewing. The layout, on the other hand, is challenging, but I like the final effect. I can hopefully get started on sewing it together next week. We also managed to make 3 quilt backs and then layer the 3 quilts. I think we have 5 or 6 now that are waiting on quilting. I brought ...

 A few months ago I was working on another scrappy Pinterest-inspired project, but I put it on hold to work on my Crossroads Wheel blocks instead. Here's the original inspiration photo, credit StitchMischief Dec. 2020. 

When last visited, I had all the blocks made and sewn into columns. I took them to Social Sewing this week and got them sewn together. Now it's a finished top:

Easy-peasy Plus blocks, black or charcoal prints against colorful low volumes. Sometimes these kinds of light prints can be hard to use so this was a good use for them, light but ...

No meetings, too cold to walk + an audiobook I had to finish (see below) = a flimsy.

6-1/4 yards by weight.

For the Mountain State Fair this past September, I wanted to enter the Twisted Snowflake that we made last year during a guild program. I thought I did a tutorial for it then, but it seems I didn’t. When I dug out the snowflake from the Christmas stuff, it was crushed due to my poor attention to packing it up. So, time to make another one. I started by fusing two pieces of fabric wrong sides together with Heat and Bond. I used a high contrast combination with one side black with gold stars, and the other a bright ...

 It's down to the wire for class prep, and everything is right on target! The best news is that I have the entire day to finish up things, so that's great. I completed something significant for the homework last night, and I was dancing around the room as it looks fantastic! 

You have to love it when things come together like that. 

It was an enjoyable day teaching my in-person class, and everyone went home with their heads filled with information. Way too much, but I took full advantage of the day, and they will now have to ...
