No sewing today...... but I did go to the gym (along with MH) and I worked really really hard... hopefully the numbers will show this next Wednesday!! Tonight I'm making nine patches and snowball blocks with some of my scraps..... I cleaned out the scrap drawer today and I have a heap of bits and pieces to press, cut and sew!! It feels so good to see an almost empty drawer..... now I can fill it up again!!! ---the pic shows my "design wall" with some of the blocks I have made so far.... I have not trimmed away the corners of the snowballs as yet! that's why their "ears" are drooping!!!
I received another lovely Siggy block in the mail today..... this one from Switzerland!!! Thank you Lilo!!
Have a great week-end everyone!!
Happy Sewing
I have entered the giveaway, fingers crossed. Good for you getting the scraps drawer empty, that's what I need to do. Take care

Why is it that scraps seem to keep having baby scraps??????
ReplyDeleteLove the snoball blocks. It will make such a wonderful scrap quilt.
Hi Helen, I guess great minds think alike. I am making scrappy nine patch and snowball blocks also.
ReplyDeleteWhat size are your blocks? Mine are 3.5 inches.
You are kicking butt! Way to go on getting back into last years jeans! I am so motivated by you and your MH! Keep up the good work. Love the Scrappy nine patch too! Steph
