I have still not sat behind my sewing machine to do any work since March 19th---other than yesterday at sewing club at my church. I spent the day working on finishing up the scrappy quilt. I just have to finish the tying and put on the binding and it will be done! I am in hopes of having it done by Friday for the TGIFF post but not making any promises to myself or to you all with everything else I try to cram into my days.
My daughter took this photo of me yesterday getting started on the tying. The blue in the back is the binding I have ready to sew on.
If you remember, I am now going to share my granny a square challenge progress every other week. But, while at church yesterday I got to look through the yarn stash we have there. The yarn is donated to make the prayer shawls. The lad in charge let me pay a little bit of money to buy the yarn "scraps" out of the boxes so that I can use them in my granny square blanket. I'm excited as there were some pretty colors to add to my blanket. I also brought home 4 skeins to make a shawl with. I have an idea of making one with granny squares.
In other news, if you remember last week, I shared a picture of loads of netting. I did get it all cut into strips and worked on making scrubbies. I ended up getting 19 made (as shown in my jar below) I sold most of them at my daughter's yard sale, so that worked out to give me a little cash in my pocket. I've not made anymore yet, but should since they will be having another sale.
That's my report for this week. I am linking up with the following blogs:
Your scrappy quilt is really lovely, and that blue binding will set it off beautifully! Found you via WIP Wednesday.
