Prairie Moom

My challenge for Prairie Moon was to work on the batting and the T-shirts.

I did go through the batting.

It is sorted by type and somewhat by size.

I don't really have very large pieces left, which is a good thing.

I either need to go about piecing it together or finding another use for it.

I at least can walk around it without cringing.

T-shirts are being dealt with by making T-shirt yarn.

That is going to take some time, but it is started and I have 4 colors growing into yarn.

Light bag

DH needed another bag for a light and cords.

Made this one a little different and added a button.

Scrap Happy

So Scrappy Happy Saturday has us post what scrappy projects we are working on.

The HST quilt.

Need to finish making the HST and then adjust the placement. 

Pixie Garden still has 2 more blocks to applique and then check to see if I need to embroider anything else. 

Quilty Fun is ready for me to make it a rectangle the opposite direction.

I'm going to be adding some blocks to the top and bottom to finish it up.

Most of what I do now is UFOs and using up my scraps.

I seem to have lots of patterns I would like to make out of scrappy things.

I'm sure there are other projects out that fit this, but these are the ones in the forefront.

Saturday

DD and I are First Aid/CPR trained.

Woo Hoo.

So, nothing done yet.

I am going to make DH another bag for a different light. :)

We shall see if this goes together easier this time around.

I would like to load a QOV tonight so when I can quilt it I can just quilt.

When I need a break, I'm making T-shirt yarn.

I'm separating it by color.

When I finish the cutting, or the bag is full, I'll sew the ends together so it will be a little more smooth than if I tie a knot to join them.

After that, I think I'll be making some rugs out of the yarn.

They should stand up for a long time.

I have lots of T-shirt leftover pieces, so this is a long term project.

Patriotic quilt is done

Here it is, finished.

This was 3-4 UFO pieces combined.

I'm happy to have it done.

Patriotic quilt

The patriotic quilt is quilted.

Swirls done a little bit differently.

I love swirls.

Binding is leftover binding pieces in red and blue.

I'll be working on it during the trip to Corpus Christi, TX tomorrow.
