Still Here, Still Sewing...

 Geez,  I looked at the date of my last post and realized it had been a whole month since my last blog!  Well I may not blog much but I've finished several projects and done a lot of sewing!  Here are some pix...

We are currently at our family cabin on Hood canal.  Space is very limited here so I usually bring a bag of scraps to play with.  Sorting scraps is Good cheap entertainment and since we don't have TV here it makes a great pass-time activity!  I actually brought a whole box of scraps, all bright and kid oriented prints.  This is one of my favorite scrap strategies.  Read more about how to make this fun block  http://cspoonquilt.blogspot.com/2016/08/pvqa-august-2016-bom-another-scrap.html

Actually I forgot how long it takes to download a picture from my computer to blogger when using my Hotspot from my phone, so I think those other pix are gonna have to wait, but here's a parting shot with a way to create an ironing space when away from home.
  
If you are staying where there's a glass cook top use a doubled over towel on the surface.  It works really well!  Perhaps there's something about the glass that reflects back the heat to the cloth that makes the ironing really crisp!  It's also nice that the light in the hood lamp lights-up the work area really well!😀
                                               I hope you are all safe and sound!
                                                            TAKE CARE!  CW

  1. Oh I love your squares--what a neat way to make them--I have 4 bins of strips that I need to use and a box of leftover 2.5" strips from bindings and jelly rolls--I will try this for sure...

    Thanks so much...Love that kid-friendly one you've put together...
    hugs, Julierose

  2. At first glance I thought that was the clothes dryer, which would also work ... right? Hey, you know what they say about the mother of invention! Your scrap quilt is totally cool! How is the weather up there?

  4. Oh my! I guess it has been a long time since I cooked as, when I saw that last shot I wondered how limited your space could be if you had room for a washing machine. I guess I'd better get out some cook books! Great quilt. Enjoy your down time.
