Scraps

We’ve had our first snowfall of the season just days after we enjoyed 70 degree weather. I’m never ready! Neither are the flowers!

At least it makes for nice sewing weather. The new piece is slow going. It’s big and has curved seam piecing. Also, it’s deadline is far enough away that it doesn’t instill a sense of urgency in me, so I am easily distracted.

I remembered a fabric that I used in a previous Spring Burn piece and wanted to use again so I looked for it here.

Finding only small bits, I decided to dump the scrap basket and check there. Sure enough I found some.

Not much but enough to get a little in there. Going through the bits and pieces is fun, brings back memories of things I did long ago and I even pulled out some to maybe use in some upcoming projects.

I love my scrap basket; found it in an antique store and lined it with the same gray flannel that is on my design wall. I wonder what the basket was originally used for…..anyone know?

    Thanks for blogging again. I know you have other things to do besides blogging, but I do miss seeing pictures and hearing what you are doing. Wouldn’t it be fun to do a challenge project just out of your scrap basket? One could keep busy and have great fun with only those bits. We haven’t had snow yet – I’m still waiting for a good Pennsylvania blizzard.

    A little searching shows that your basket is a
    peach harvesters basket.

    I hope this helps.
