Little Baskets
4 inch
All baskets have cream/tan/taupe backgrounds and brown baskets. When all is said and done these will be set on point and the blocks will alternate with squares of a basket print.
Blue is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color for June. This week I worked with all the 1.5 inch width pieces I found.
Boo Boo Patches
3 x 6 inches
So named because originally I meant to cut 1.5 x 2.5 pieces.
Windmills
4 inch
Switch Plate
3 x 5
And sew on...

CELEBRATE! (My word of the year)
May 28 - Finished a book - The Big Dark Sky by Dean Koontz. Good vs. evil, synchronicity, quantum physics, AI and the power of positive thinking and hope.
May 29 - Found my second four leaf clover this year. Poor thing was in some weeds and it looks like an insect or two took a few bites.
May 30 and May 31 - I noticed the roses have started blooming and I had not even properly pruned, weeded and fertilized them yet so I spent several hours for two days amongst the roses. It's always nice to stop and smell the roses too. I also said a few prayers and did quite a bit of positive thinking. We are once again waiting to hear if my husband John has cancer.
Sending positive thoughts your way - but for NO cancer. My husband had a skin lesion removed a couple weeks ago, and the wait to hear test results back seemed endless. He had a benign report thankfully.
ReplyDeleteYou have a terrific start on blue for this month. So many tiny blocks!!
Good thoughts coming your way. The waiting is the worst. You’ve found lots of blues to work with this month. I really like your windmill blocks!
ReplyDeleteCourage and strength to you both, Cathy......you got quite a head start on RSC blues!
ReplyDeleteLovely little baskets, boo-boos and windmills in RSC blues, Cathy.

Sending good thoughts your way, Cathy. Glad you could get some rose and fabric therapy this week. Those little baskets are just adorable!
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks and lovely roses! Those little windmills and switch plates always catch my eye and make my stitching fingers itchy! LOL
