ScrapHappy Saturday - Holiday Weekend


 Happy Holiday weekend for those in the US.   We watched fireworks last night at the nearby 4-H campgrounds.
It has been a calm week full of tasks such as taking the dog to the vet and getting Sydney scheduled for wisdom teeth removal.  
I did have some sewing time though and whipped up this mini quilt for a friends birthday.   Then I got carried away with the leftover nine patches and spent two days sewing the rest together into random color combinations.   
We are at the cabin this week and waiting to see how the weather will turn out before deciding on inside or outside chores for the day.   Either choice is likely to start with a trip to town for supplies.  
July is all about purple this year.   I hope you can find an opportunity this weekend to dig into your purple bin and sew what you can find.
