I had a Fabric Sale in Mid July as part of a group Garage Sale and did fairly well in selling off some of my larger fabric pieces but the shoe boxes with scrap bits that were usually less than 4 inches in any one direction remained in shoe boxes...
Earlier this week I was thinking about how I can use these bits... Then I remembered the blocks that people across Canada donated to the flood relief efforts in Calgary back in the spring of 2012 that Cheryl Arkison had organized. And you can see some of the blocks as they are on the HEADER of her blog at Dining Room Empire and it even turns out that her current post is about scraps and about clearing them out of her own stash!! Perhaps this is the season of Scrapping Scraps?? I am not quite ready to get rid of them so....
So I am making some of these "Just One Slab" type blocks. I doing some sewing and might get these odd scrappy bits made into one or two utility quilts or even to use these "slabs" as backing for more 'formal' blocks...
As things go these are IN PROGRESS and I really don't have a final destination for them yet! I am encouraged tho, that after many months of not being very enthusiastic about sewing some of that joy is creeping back in!
Linking up with the Needle and Thread Network this week...
