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!

What you're doing with MHMH is just amazing, Cyndy! I admire every stitch you put into these quilt projects. Hope you have a chance to relax today and take Arthur for a nice long walk!
I hear you about the scrap pile not seeming to reduce! I am impressed with what you accomplished this week!
It is so wonderful what you and your fellow volunteers do for others. Heartwarming! Thank you!
You have such wonderful supporters!
Wow, 25 quilts from Kristin. That's quite a haul. Can't wait to see them. Scraps and potential scraps never seem to disappear. I'm about ready to ship some of them off to quilters who enjoy making scrappy quilts.

You may never get on top of all of it, but it sounds like you made good progress last week.
