Bits and Pieces...

Sewing is happening a but a lot of it is ''secret sewing'' so everyone will just have to wait...

hubby did spend a couple of days away again so I once again took over the lounge room with the fold out table and decided that I was going to sort out my scrap boxes

and started with the blue one...

for months/years I haven't been able to close the lid and I have been so good using my scraps in scrap buster blocks and quilts but.................. still they are full...

 so I sorted into 3 piles

dyed

strips

squares

the dyed fabric was put into its own box... the strips have gone into the ice cream container for strips blocks (now that is over flowing hahaha) and I cut a heap of 3.5... 3... 2.5 inch squares...

 these squares are going to be used for the ''granny blocks pattern'' that is being seen all over blogland... and look the lid is now shut... next time it will be the green scrap box that gets sorted...

also... 

I discovered these to left over blocks from a quilt I made for my sister many years ago hidden behind ''stuff or crap'' pinned on my sewing room wall... 

they have been made into hot mats which will go into a box ready for my new home when we sell and move (which looks like happening mid-year woohoo)
