Yesterday the weather was beautiful and we took down the Christmas lights, finished up the chores that had to wait for good weather. Two large bags of lavender got taken out of the garage and thrashed in small bundles in an old pillow case. A few hours later, the flowers and the stems where seperated. The dried stems make great fire starters, the flowers go in sachets made with cotton scrap fabrics. They help with sleep, especially for those with Autism. It worked very well on me, so much so I had a hard time staying awake until bedtime last night...
Sorted the leftover bargello scraps according to size and pulled out all the one and half inch squares, they will be used to make nine patch blocks for this pattern from 2006
Funny how we see a pattern in a magazine and then we keep it for years? Glad I found it, it is now going to happen. Scrappy as can be.
That's a cute pattern for quilt. I'm sure you will have fun with it.
ReplyDeleteI am using what I have and it feels good to use up the scraps.
