On my list of Someday Projects is this small pile of bee-themed scraps. Cute!
I think they might be a baby quilt or table topper…pattern/idea searching at the moment.
Hopefully I’ll be starting work on them soon.

All those cut pieces are turning into blocks. Only 11 so far.
But, with the rest already cut and organized, they go together quickly. I hope to have all blocks complete by the end of the month. If the world plays nice with me.
Scrap Batting
My batting scraps were completely out of hand. So, I sorted them into piles by type. Whoa! That is quite a few piles.
About 2 hours later I had quilt batts created and set aside for 6 quilts waiting to be quilted. (There are really 8 waiting, but the other two are so large they need specific batting purchased.)
And quilt batts made and stored for 6 more quilts–two throws and 4 baby quilts.
A single grocery sack-full is left of very small scraps that will go the school art department for the students to imagine with.
Not much stitching today, but I still feel very successful.
If you want information on turning your scraps into usable batts, you might want to check out a few tutorials like these:

Another New Project? Really??
Sometimes it is just TIME!
I vowed that this year, 2018, would be the SOMEDAY year, and I am tackling someday projects one after another.
This project has been a plastic tote stuffed with scraps for way too long.
Now it is small piles of scraps scattered all over.
And some cut and prepped.
More news coming soon…
Flight Path Flimsy
Flight Path is now a completed top.
You might recall that a while back I was rejoicing over developing a NON-paper-pieced version of an airplane.
Now that block has several friends, a setting and a border. What it does NOT have yet is a tutorial. Classes are out June 1–after that, my schedule will open up to such luxuries. 🙂
New Idea
There are probably other projects I should have been working on, but I had a new idea. So, I had to see what it would look like.
For now, it is called “Cross My Heart.” This isn’t a great picture, particularly against the light floor. Also, binding will change the look a lot. That said, what do you think? Should the heart be larger? Or sort of a surprise waiting to be discovered?
New Project
This is the beginning of my next project: several mini charm packs, a few regular charm packs and some odd 5″ squares. Hmm….
Expect more information in a few days.
