I don't usually sew until late afternoon and sometimes not until evening. Yesterday I went into the studio right after breakfast and started playing with my scraps again, more mug rug starts. The first 2 were more like a crazy patch with some chunks, not just strips like the previous ones shown on yesterday's post.
The next 4 had striped centers.
The last 2 fall into miscellaneous categories since I was running low on scraps. What I didn't know was there was another small bag of small scraps in the bottom of the Kaffe scrap bin. By that time I decided I was done playing so there are scraps waiting for the next time I am inspired.
Here is the whole dozen mug rug starts. The smallest side on any of them is 7.25" and the largest side is 11.5".
Today is the memorial service for a dear friend. She was the leader of our church sewing circle and she used to work at the hospital where we donate the preemie layettes that we make. She was always there for anyone who needed a ride or a pair of slacks hemmed and many, many other things. I shared plants with her since she didn't let her cancer treatments interfere with her gardening. I will really miss her.
Sad to loose a friend, but you have the memories of the times together.
