Oh Scrap! : It's Never Dull

 It is never dull around here at Many Hands and Many Hearts.  I tried all last week to get a few things put away to clear off some workspaces.  There always seems to be quilts needing labels or bindings, scraps needing cut or items waiting to be checked in and receipts written.  

It is a bit like Whack-a-Mole. 

I did get quite a bit of cutting done this week.  I pulled all the small pieces of florals and autumn-colored prints for a sew day project this fall. I will let you know at a later date what we are making.  I am also still cutting 2.5" RWB strips out of scraps for Veteran blocks.

But as fast as I cut, more scraps seem to appear!


Kristin's courier came to Eugene this week, so I had quite a few items to check in and put away.  She sent 25 quilt tops with backing and binding fabric this time!  That girl has been busy!!  She also sent a big pile of quilt kits (with all the fabric cut) for our volunteers to sew together and some bags of batting.  As usual, Arthur was supervising the project nearby.

I have a friend showing up next week to help me move some furniture around and sew up some backing for some of the quilt tops that have been sent in. 

There is never a dull moment around here!

  • 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!
