GREENS-GOING GOING--GONE

                                                    My empty greens baggie...now all that's
                                        left are those tiny bits all sewn
                                            into "at least "twosies" for
                                              a future "scrap vomit" quilt...

                              these are really tiny...but I loved sewing
                                them all together chain style....
My plan was to use up ALL the bright greens this month....

*************************************************
I need to take a few minutes here and there to iron them; and
then maybe sew them into a few pieces like these:

                                    for a future crumb block piece...

I also found this larger leftover piece that I will store with them ....

I used up the rest of the little square border chains to surround this....
For the most part, I am done with the "sewin' of the greens" here....

**************************************************
This is what I am sewing this week--I am only sitting at my machine for
very short spurts...glad to be able to sew again....at least a little

I have always loved chevrons, but was so fearful of 
making 1/2 sq triangles  (don't ask me why!) 
that I never tried them...and now I am smitten....💖💓💖💝
I began with some leftover layer cake squares...and these haven't 
been trimmed up as yet...just sewn...
***************************************
                      and here⇓⇓⇓⇓

I DREW all THREE lines and just sewed on the lines....yes!! ;)))

Today i will be making some green ones...
It seems very elementary doesn't it, 
but I had never thought about drawing sewing lines
before...duh...💃😂🙏
***************************************
We did see the sun for a bit today, but now the clouds are coming
in once more...I really think that this January has been the
grayest month in a long while...;(((

Superquilt Saturday

Bonjour, Here is what I have done this week...

Purple Spider

Turquoise Spider

Yellow Spider

AND:

A couple of these using English Paper Piecing and no glue

SEE, just freezer paper ironed on...it is hard for me to press the seams and stitch with my left hand, but a few at a time seems manageable...

I had planned on using Teresa's method on "Fabric Therapy", but made such a mess of the glue, that I fell back on my usual method of EPP (English Paper Piecing)...

I have a question :  WHAT will I do with all of these triangles leftover from my Spiders dans Le Jardin ?????

Four per block= 36 of these lil' babies--AND I just LOVE this fabric--it has such cute sayings all over it along with garden implements: (like: Gardening is good for your soul", Happiness is in your garden", "my heart is in the garden" etc).  So I do not want to waste it. (A la Bonnie Hunter and "using all of your scraps")( which really cost $9 and up per yd--what a disgrace!!  REALLY--end of rant) Maybe cut into strips along with the different colored strips from the spiders?????  Any thoughts???

AND look what I found for my travels in the car or over short day trips (note:  My Tommy LIKES to drive, so I can sit and sew--yay!!)  :

This Vera Bradley Small Travel Hanging Organizer (I saw one on someone else's blog and cannot recall where --not trying to steal anyone else's idea--if you read this let me know and I will give you credit for this super idea) It is just right to put everything in that you'll need for small blocks AND I found one online at the Vera Bradley Site (I have no affiliation with that CO.  just love her stuff) and it was reduced and sooooooo  of course I got it!!

It even has a cute all round zip and handle --out the door and ready to go n' sew:

And so, with this (phew!!) I and my four wonderful grandchildren bid you adieu-
