Oh My! How time flies! The last couple weeks have been a bit of a blur for me. I can't believe in that whole time I didn't make one blog post. Thanks to all who checked up on me. And my apologies to those of you who kept checking for new posts but finding nothing.
We had our sew day event today (Saturday) and I just spent a couple hours putting everything away. I am exhausted but I wanted to share about the day.
We had a team of folks that showed up to sew some blocks for us. We supplied them with the cut material, and they chain pieced away.
Karen even drove over an hour to join us. She donates a lot of blocks, tops and fabric to us. We were talking and she has been donating blocks from the beginning. I think that was in 2022! It is always nice to meet the wonderful person behind the emails.
We purposely chose a block that didn't require pressing until the end. Here is Karen (our Board Secretary) working one of the pressing stations.
- This linky party is for any scrappy project - It can be in-process or a finished piece.
- You can link up your blog post (not your homepage please) or Instagram photo from the past week that features your use of scraps.
- If you are linking to a blog post, I ask that you link back to my blog somewhere in your post. So if you are writing about scraps, just get into the habit of including a link as there will be a linky party available every week!
- If you are using Instagram, please use the hashtag #ohscrap.
- This is a party so remember to socialize and comment on the posts of others.
- Following my blog is not necessary but it sure would be great if you do!

Wow, enough blocks for 12 quilts! Nice job! I hope you're getting some well-earned rest. It's always so satisfying to work with other quilters for a good cause.
Look at that pile of blocks! It looks like people got a lot done during your sew day. Hope you have a chance to put your feet up and relax today, Cyndy!
Looks like you had a very productive sew day. Congratulations!
Your Saturday was exhausting but so worth all the effort! Thank you for organizing the workday, happy stitching!
What a successful event. No wonder you were exhausted! Good to see you back and posting!
It is always so heartening to see folks like Karen travel such a distance just to lend a helping hand to a good cause. I hope you get some well-deserved rest after all that pressing and trimming, because you certainly earned it!

Did you get through all of the red white and blue strips that you had prepared?
