I would love for you to join me (a retired senior)in my zany crafting adventures with quilting (waaaaay too much fabric); scrapbooking (will I ever catch up?); redwork; counted cross stitch; crossword puzzles; reading; and cooking.

LEGOS & SNOWBALLS

                                           LEGOS BLOCK #1-my leader-ender project...
AND

      BLOCK #2: Finally got these sewn together yesterday.....and that is "IT"
                   for any yellow scraps!!  Hard to believe!!;000

I have put together SO MANY scrap quilts in the past 3 years that I am 
actually low on scraps....

  My next color will be pink--and am now stash diving for pink scraps...
Hoping these will be  enough for 3 blocks 11"x11"
         one between the two yellows and
                                    2 for the next row...

**************************
Meanwhile--I have set up my Summer Snowballs like this so far.....

    I have one solid mauve block missing (R)  and will fill in with a similar color there...
                   and make one more green centered one for the 3 above to begin my 3rd block...

                  Summer Snowballs is my main Summer sewing project.

***************************************
I took out my big snowball top yesterday and tried to find a backing for it; 
but ended up hanging it back in my spare closet 
as nothing really "spoke" to me...and , to be honest,
sewing huge pieces of fabric together just doesn't appeal to me
right now.....So....................
I think it will have to be another Christmas backing...my usual 
"go to" reverse side....🙏

  1. I didn't know it was possible to EVER run out of scraps! You give me hope that one day I might do the same.

  2. Looking good! Like you, I love having a leader and ender project or two, cut out ready to feed through the machine.

  3. What a treat to use up the scraps. And your snowballs in summer look beautiful.

  4. Leader and enders are fun. They seem to magically appear as a quilt top. Love your legos

  5. I love the Legos blocks. Such a fun way to use up those scraps! I see your snowballs are coming right along. I wish I was low in scraps! It will take me many years to work off my fabric stash!

  6. I hate piecing backs too--it just seems so tedious, but it does use up old fabrics--lol! I was surprised to see your yellow Lego's--not your usual color palette, but lovely!
