ScrapHappy Saturday - Last Purple weekend

 


Just two more days left in July.   I am working frantically steadily to get caught up.  I think that I can!  Though everything looks like a bit of a mess at the moment, all the pieces are in the works and the scraps have been sorted and cut.   Now I can spend today and tomorrow getting everything sewn together.  Many have already guessed that August will be orange this year.  I used to struggle with orange, but through the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, I started to enjoy the variety and spark that it adds to quilts.   I have a reasonably sized basket now and I have tried to work it into quilt backs and bindings this year to keep bulking up the scrap supply

It is a busy time at school right now.  Surprisingly there have been so many teachers in for pre-pre planning.  For me that has meant lots of running around and checking on new people, meetings to discuss curriculum and training sessions of various sorts.   Official pre-planning will start next week which will mean lots of meetings.  We are all still defining my new job together, so it has been lots of fun with new things to learn.   Today is for sewing though!

I've also learned to use more orange by participating in the RSC! Now it's one of my favorite colors. Good luck with these pre-planning days of the school year!

My youngest son’s favorite color is orange, and next month is his birthday, so this is great timing,

I'm so happy it's orange next. It's a colour you either enjoy or not at all. I love it. Love the picture of your design wall. Enjoy the sewing this weekend. The weekdays can take care of themselves on Monday. Haha. ;^)

I just finished sage green! Yikes! And I love orange. So it will be fun when I get to it.

every yr you would think we'd know orange is coming & get ready for it as orange is not a popular color in my sewing room 😂 you've got a great assortment of blocks going! I've so much catching up to do!
