For those of us participating in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, Angela chose calm, serene aqua for July. I started looking at my bin for bits of aqua but that is as far as I got ... so far. I'm pretty sure my fellow Rainbow Scrappers have already gotten a good start and you can check that out here.
Last night was also Friday Night with Friends. I didn't sleep well Thursday night so, instead of dozing on the couch in front of the TV, I made my way to the sewing room. I'd already gotten a whole mess of foundation paper prepared earlier in the week for stitching and that's what I worked on.

| 7 More Units Sewn 34 of 112 Completed Once Trimmed |
I'm using scrappy Kansas Troubles fabrics with a few Kim Diehl & Pam Buda thrown in for variety. Two units get sewn together to form the horizontal sashing for the Red Threads blocks. I finished this one up Friday morning while Mom was getting her hair done.
The project is being hosted by Sentimental Stitches and we are recreating an antique quilt. We are currently working on the 44th block of 49 so we are nearing the end. I can't wait to start putting this one together and so I'm very focused on getting the sashing strips together.
I'm sharing this post with my FNwF friends HERE and my RSC friends HERE. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Your Kansas Troubles scraps will look great with those embroidery blocks, Susie! I'm looking forward to seeing how this project goes together!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure hoping it's as pretty as I'm picturing mentally. Thanks for the encouragement!
DeleteI guess the stitching time can't ALWAYS be about the RSC, Susie. You'll get around to the AQUA sewing in good time!
ReplyDeleteI will, Joy, and thanks for understanding. I always have things going on in my brain for RSC projects, including Table Scraps, but finding time hasn't been easy lately. Oh well, right?
DeleteHow exciting to be almost at the stage of putting all your blocks together! It will be awesome :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pat, for the vote of confidence! We'll see when it's said and done!
DeleteI love the quilt in your header. You have an interesting paper piece project in the works. And your embroidery is so pretty. I love that you enjoy a variety of projects.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Variety is the spice of life, right?
DeleteLooks like you made great use of the sleepless hours. Your embroidery is gorgeous, Susie. Happy quilting. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Melisa. Too bad one needs sleep to be easier to get along with! Lol! On the flip side, I need sewing time to be easier to get along with too. Hahaha!
