I made a bunch of pieces and parts for the little tote bags before I left for church sewing circle yesterday. We got 5 totally done and 17 to the stage of the last rows of stitching around the top. We will finish those at the next meeting. I will make the last 14 at home and take them to be filled on the 22nd.
Last night I chose some more strips for my 16 patch quilt. I will probably make more blocks than I need this time and eliminate the ones that don't work well. They will become seeds for the next quilt.
I finished 2 more dish cloths with a new color called 'over the rainbow'. All three projects have similar colors, and that wasn't planned.
You are so generous with your time, talents and resources. I love all your work. Do you block your dish cloths to get them so square? I use this same pattern and mine come out with a stretched out end corner.
All three projects may have not been planned but they sure make a nice post for today.... I do notice most of your posts are color co-ordinated. It is just comes naturally for you, without even thinking about it.
Your totes are such a wonderful gift for the children and they will feel so grown up.
I'm just getting caught up on my blog-reading and I have missed yours!!!! This one in particular makes me feel warm and cozy - I have made than a few of 'grandmas dishcloth' pattern. And I have a few of those red and pink fabrics in my stash. I can't wait to see what you do with them!!!
I need to get back to my own stash. Thank you again for always inspiring me!
Love the sunset colors

All three projects definitely look like summer with those gorgeous colours in them!
ReplyDeleteYou're so right but I can hardly believe it's time to start preparing for "back to school." How kind of you to make tote bags for schoolchildren.
ReplyDeletePretty colors for the tote bags!
