Crumb Along Step 6

Time to share what is happening from my end on 

the Crumb Along.

Last week we were instructed to make 

log cabin squares.

 And they came out a little wonky just

like they were supposed to.

 Two is all I got made so far.

I have been rearranging my sewing room,

adding shelves and decluttering some.

So that did not leave me much time to sew!

 But I did finish this block I started last week.

And I am working on some more nine patch

blocks.

I realize I need to make some more stars, flying geese and I am not sure what else to make enough blocks for this quilt.

I will get there. Planning to do a little more tonight.

In the meantime, check out the others who are doing

the crumb along as well. 

Jo is our host at 

Jo's Country Junction.

Crumb Along Step 5

Working on staying caught up on the Crumb Along Quilt

that I am doing with Jo at Jo's Country Junction.

It is okay if we are a bit behind.

I have 18 completed blocks and I should be getting to about 42. 

Yep, I am a little behind.

 This time we were working with triangles.

I was actually having fun with them and playing around with the 

scrap fabrics I have to get the ones I share here.

 More are in the works here. Getting late. I had to stop somewhere.

I came up with this idea for catching all of my little snippets as I tripped the pointy corners off.

Did not want to be making a mess on the floor.

I used one of those plastic bags that come filled with air in packages.

I have saved those and cut open one end to let out the air.

They work great for this kind of thing.

It is clipped to my ironing board cover with a clothespin. 

Looks like this doesn't belong here, but I was in a car accident on Oct 1. Rear-ended for the second time this year in my new car. Not good. Hubby was driving this time and the other driver is at fault. Her insurance is covering the repairs and our medical appointments. We both ended up with neckstrain and sore backs after the accident. Right now the car is in the shop getting a new foam thingy that goes under the bumper and this time they are hopefully able to salvage the bumper. Last time it cracked and had to be replaced. This time the bumper popped out on both sides and has some scratches they can fix.

Drive safe everyone.

And Happy Sewing!

Crumb Along Step 4/REDnesday

I am still at it with the Crumb Along with Jo

at Jo's Country Junction

Jo is at number 5, but I am always one step behind.

Step 4 was to make nine patch squares.

So here are mine. I have one more in the works. 

And I have started another heart block too.

The red fabrics do look orange here, but really they are

RED.

I am also hooking up with Sue for 

REDnesday 

over at

It's A Very Cherry World!

Happy Sewing!
