I’ve mentioned that I’m doing the cleaning at the Hall for this month. Today was week three so I’ve accumulated some savings. But a stop at the fabric shop more than took care of my earnings. I needed some Steam-a-Seam as I used the last of my box on some Guild projects; I’ve only ever purchased one box so it lasts a long time (but it also costs a lot). Deb gave me a good deal and I’m set now for another few years. One of the projects I want to do for the Cranberry Hall Member Appreciation event needs it so I’ll put it to use right away.

I was tired when I came home; since I hadn’t finished putting away my project from the bee yesterday I decided to do all the fabric cutting for my Circa 2016 quilt. I’ve carried a small bin of fabric with me to the bee each week but today, because I was home, I was able to dig through several bins of scraps to find some different colours and fabrics. I even managed to find all or parts of blocks I’ve done before that work in this particular quilt. Even with the cutting done it will take me at least a couple of weeks to finish the blocks, but I’m enjoying the process.

Getting all those fabric scraps out has left my studio in somewhat of a mess. I’ll do a quick clean and then move on to something else.
