| Thank you Denise --- it was a great Saturday. The quilt guild had a class to learn a new technique using up scraps. I completed 8 blocks; enough for a small runner. |

| What was the new technique, Judith? I have heard of one where you put tiny/small scraps on a fabric with a spray adhesive and cover with netting and iron, or something like that. Was your project similar? I have a bag of tiny scraps. I was going to see if a teacher might want them to use for chidlren to make pictures with. Maybe one of these "make fabric from scraps" methods would be a use for them. |

This is it Linda. You start by pinning/glueing the center kite piece on the foundation then sewing the strips on. Easy peasy. We used lightweight Pellon for the foundation but you can use a lot of things: muslin, pellon, ugly fabric. I have a lot of leftover strips from the Gypsy Wife quilt so this is a perfect way to use them up. |

That's similar to the spider web pattern that I am using for my selvage quilt blocks at my block echange at the guild.

| It's a good way to use up all those strips that accumulate. I made the eight blocks in about 5 hours so it's pretty fast too. |

| I might not be here much for a while — my computer crashed yesterday and typing on the tiny phone keyboard is not gentle on my hands. I will be reading but not posting much. When we get a cooler spell I’ll venture out to the fixit place. |

I am enjoying these beautiful photos recently posted. The one with the old fashioned girl looks like she is living in paradise. Everything is so green and beautiful!
With all this rain we are having, we are having a lot of overnight groups of mushrooms or toadstools pop up in lots of yards. Some of them are really pretty. |
