They grow.

 

What started with just a few, then a couple more… 

The back of the block.

The front of the block.

Stacks sorted into groups.

The nine patches on the ironing board.

A circle of scraps turned into nine patch blocks.

Started a new project.

The fabrics all sorted into a rainbow of colours.

Squares cut and sorted into blocks.

Scrappy and coloured by group.

Stacked into a pile, ready for sewing.

Chained pieced and awaiting ironing.

This stack is made and ready for assembly to the rest of the pieces.  This will be a sparkly quilt.

Adult camp for three days in the summer with scraps from my stash, which will happen in early August.

All the pieces are ready and cut out. Lots of nine patches in this one.

Lilac and purple.

A bit of raw edge appliqué happened this week, after a spot of cleaning up the mess in my sewing room.

A bag filled with threads and fabric bits and pieces.

A blue Iris on our walks.

The pattern that inspired the raw edge appliqué.

Along the stream, these flowers bloomed.
