Scrappy Saturday

August is the month for working with our bright green scraps over at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I have been sorting and cutting small pieces of green fabrics and preparing some leader/ender blocks for this month.



I checked my pile of pumpkin seed blocks and found that I already had several green blocks, but not any bright green ones.
I have now cut enough seeds for 3 more blocks and look forward to appliqueing those tomorrow for Slow Sunday Stitching. Hop over to SoScrappy to see more green scrap projects.

Today I will be hand quilting at the Fergus Highland Games. It's going to be a beautiful sunny summer day, so if you live in the area and are looking for something to do, come by and see us at the Heritage Tent. You can read my blog post from the 2012 Highland Games here

You do have a fabulous variety of green scraps. Too bad I already have a commitment - I would have loved to come and see you!

I used the full range of greens back in May - so I'm going with blue-greens for August.

Enjoy your event!

Don't know that I would find any bright greens in my stash--maybe batiks, but I wouldn't want to do much hand applique with those. I find them tough to needle.
Have a lovely day stitching at the games. : )

Sounds like a fun time handquilting at a festival. Hopefully you will inspire a few to give a go!

I'm not doing the challenge however have been watching what everyone is doing. If I had been I would not have had any bright green. Interesting how we have lots of one color and then little to none of other colors

Love your pumpkin seeds! Wish I had the patience to appliqué, well I do by machine but are yours hand appliqué?

Karen said...

You would not find those bright greens in my stash but I do like what I see.
