Playing with stash................


This block is made from the other pieces on the Fractured Studio die.  I cut them a couple days ago and sewed them yesterday.  I have made a table topper in the past with these blocks.






I have had a quilt in the back of my mind for a few months, to be made with batiks.  I started sorting through them last night while I watched 3 hours of NCIS.







The pile in front is the pieces to be put back on one shelf.  Behind it is the pieces I have pulled for the quilt.






Even my knitting is green right now.

I wasn't ready to work in the basement yesterday but maybe today I'll get the Fractured blocks down there and play at the design wall.  I need to do a load of laundry because I'm running out of clean clothes.

Last night we got a little rain at 10 and more was predicted to come through overnight.  It is only predicted to be in the mid 60s today.

That block is pretty! What a stack of greens you have! Speaking of green, any green tomatoes?

Just a lovely group of green batiks you have to work with, Wanda;))) I am itching to get back to sewing--but must hold off for a while still just to be sure I don't re-injure...;(((
65 here and sunny this morning; today is predicted to be the warmest of the week for us...After 2 days in a row of food shopping (Costco and Big Y) I am content to relax and read a bit and work on my puzzle...;)))
I cannot help but notice how neatly folded all your fabrics are--they look ironed even!! Mine are pretty haphazardly folded I must admit--and I iron before I use them...so my shelves look pretty messy....
And so it goes...hugs, Julierose

Your greens are so refreshing including your dish cloth.

I am always eager to see what you are working on next! Greens are always fun. They go with everything. A designer told me once that greens are………and I can’t remember what they said but it was to the effect that greens are neutral and blend with everything. It was a perfect word (noun) that described how greens work with other colors. It’s bugging me that I can’t think of that word. Am I the only person that is binging on Family Affair as I am sewing? It’s on Prime Video. What a throw back to the 60s!

Love your new blocks and will enjoy seeing how this quilt grows. I love green, too! And blue, and ...!
It's 90*F here but will cool off tomorrow and then get to 89*F or so on Friday. Then the real cool down will begin.

Hugs!

our last high 80's-90 day is today, tomorrow in the 60/40 range how sweet is that finally. Melanie said they will be out to help prepare the garden for winter this weekend - I can do with the help and will be nice to have fall weather. I need to water the garden again today though to loosen up the soil more

Hmmmm, loving the green yarn on your knitting needles. I love seeing your stacks of fabrics. Rain is forecast at 100% tomorrow but temperatures haven’t dropped yet.
