Scrap Therapy

My LQS offers a class on the first Saturday of the month called Scrap Therapy. It is broken into two parts. The first is to learn what size pieces to cut for usable sizes. The second is to make things out of all the usable pieces.

Last night I ironed for almost 3 hours on what scraps I could find. I have a lovely ziploc bag full of the first of many scrap bags.

Have a great day.

What did I do on the Friday Night Sew In?

I played with EQ6. Did you know that there is a version 7 coming out in June. I still have so many things to learn about 6 that I an in a quandary about what to do. I can get a great price on the upgrade if I pre-order before May 31. I will think it out again.

I decided to see what I could design with only HST. It was a lot of fun. Then I added a border. and when I was finished I had added a total of seven borders.

Would you like to see what I did?

First I designed the center arrangement of the HST. I added a border and this is what turned out.



The I went crazy and added six more borders.



I think it all turned out rather nifty.

Friday Night Sew In for May

Friday, May 21 is the Friday Night Sew In. I cannot wait. I have a list ten miles long of what I want to do.

I have narrowed it down to the BOM for the Civil War Tribute and the Shop Hop last summer in Dayton / Cincinnati. I only have a few blocks left to do.

Talk to you later.
