Midweek: catching up, indulgence, and a new start

 

Here are my Bramble Blooms blossoms.  They're fused (Heat 'n' Bond Light) and sewn with a narrow zigzag stitch.

Sparkling Triangles, continued:   I cut the border strips 6" because that was the width of the pattern repeat.  You might think the border print is sufficiently busy to make matched seams unnecessary, but I like to try to do that. (Maybe it's a holdover from all those years of garment sewing....).   I may trim the borders down an inch, but I may not.  

Yesterday was Part III of Barb M's estate sale. Here's my haul -- it worked out to $1.92 per yard.  (Part II was in October and Part I in September.)   The proceeds from each sale go to nonprofit organizations, this time to Make-a-Wish.   Paula said there are two bedrooms in Barb M's house (her husband still lives there) that she and her group haven't entered, both packed with fabric.  The next sale will benefit St. Judes and the sale after that will benefit  P.E.O.  "I'm a P.E.O.," I said, and Paula introduced me to Lisa, one of the helpers, who belongs to a P.E.O. chapter in Kenosha.  What fun!

To wrap up this midweek post:  here is the new start.  Come back on Friday to see these hourglass units pieced into blocks.
