Tiny bits

Here is the pile of bits I started with last night. Here are the pieced sections made from them to add into more of the strippies like I have been making the last couple days. Oh and to answer all of the questions about what I am going to make out of them, I don't know yet but I have several ideas brewing.
I'm glad I got some mums planted before all of the rain. Yes, Ike is near, it is still raining.

The red ones are a deeper shade than this picture. I don't know what it is about red, but it is hard to get a realistic photo of it.
I'm baking my peanut butter cookies this morning and will do the chocolate chip ones this afternoon. My art quilters are coming tomorrow (if they don't have flooded basements) and I need to treat them.

It must be cookie weather. I made a double batch of oatmeal cookies myself but no company is coming.

Your mums are lovely. I hope they don't float away. We had almost seven inches Friday and Saturday and we have almost another two today.

I can't wait to see what all these stripey strips will turn into.

Rain, rain, go away!

Your Mums and Hydrangea are gorgeous. Love to dry hydrangea also. No matter where one lives we are always wishing for better weather some days. If only we could get 1/4 of your rain we'd be happy.

I'm enjoying watching the progression of your stripping.

A beautiful fall sunny day in the mountains.

Hi Wanda,
I too save very small pieces of batiks left from other adventures. I have been thinking of how to use them and I really like your strips. Thanks for the inspiration.

Notice the flat gray sky we have here now, pouring that rain? It's a hurricane sky that I've seen down in FL occasionally when I'm with my dad in this season.

Looks very different than we usually have here on rainy days.

Love your snippets! I can't wait to see what is coming from all these fabulous pieces. The mums look terrific. I had my husband take down my window boxes last week so that I could plant mums in them. Now I just have to get the mums. This week....

I see there is another diane out there who signs her name with a lower case "d" ~ perhaps I should change my moniker. LOVE your latest strippy sewing. Can't believe it is mum weather already.

My MIL plans to shop for her mums this week - our day time temps are still in the 80s with plenty of humidity -- a tad early for fall flowers, but getting closer day by day.

Your mums are gorgeous!!

Those mums are absolutely gorgeous!! The gardeners have just put in some gorgeous ones along the front walk. We will get a picture of them this week!
I've just given you an award on my blog.

Beautiful mums! I wish we had gotten some of that rain. We only got a half inch from Ike. We were just too far west. If you haven't seen the pic of an oriole visiting our hummingbird feeder I posted on my blog please pay me a visit. I didn't see it today so it may have migrated.

Those Chrysanthemums are just goregous!
Cookies sound nice.
Hope none of your friends have flooding.

I'm a great fan of crumbs and "bits". Think how much of the fabric actually goes into the scrap bin rather than the quilt it was intended for? I keep every little bit!
