Today was a scrappy day and I’ve certainly made a mess – but enjoyed every minute of it.

I put together 13 more blocks for the scrappy quilt I’m making with my Leaders and Enders. I’m more than half-way done which was a surprise when I counted things because they are getting done quite quickly.

Next up was a string project and that is where the mess comes in. I have a drawer full of strings – strips that are of any length and less than one-and-a-half inches wide. I’m using a thin piece of fabric as my foundation and both the foundation and the strips have bits of threads attached. When I sew the strips into the block I’m not careful about cutting off the threads at the beginning or the end of the seam so when I trim them off I end up with quite a mess.

I’m going to try to make it up to the library this afternoon to pick up the book I ordered. I’m not quite done my current book but the library isn’t open on weekends and I expect I’ll need a new book before Monday. Besides, it’s a good idea to run the car a bit.
