It is Monday Already?

I had to practice before making string blocks for Mary's Heart Strings Quilt Project.

These two blocks are 4 1/2 X 4 1/2 and are made from my sons old cotton boxer shorts. I have been saving old cotton clothes and blue jeans for years and the tubs are over flowing just like my fabric stash.

Have A Great Day!

Scraps and Fabric Stash Here I Come

I am not one for goals but I did make a promise to myself that in the month of January I would touch every piece of fabric in my over grown stash. Last week I sorted through two scraps tubs.

Today I am cutting 6 - 8 inch strips from every piece of fabric I own. Once I get the strips ironed I will decide what to do with them.

In Honor of Nancy's Birthday I need to read Mary's Blog and find out more about the Heart String Quilt Project. If I am not to far behind their schedule I will make some blocks for the project. I did check the String Quilting Primer at Quiltville but I need to make sure what finished size Mary's needs. I need to sew something easy to keep my mind off my life troubles.

I am still working on my January Journal Quilt.

Have A Great Evening!
