Scrappy Saturday

July 1st is "Canada Day"! Celebrations will be held across the country, including parades, picnics,  concerts, and fireworks. The weather forecast is for  thunderstorms, so I guess we might be mostly  celebrating indoors. And you know what that means!?! It's a quilting day for me!

I started sewing some red scraps into another Sewcialites 2 block. I had the pieces cut and ready to sew together last night, but when I made a mistake I decided it was best to just go to bed!  Good night mistake - see you in the morning!

Here is the finished block which is pattern #16 (of 24) called Christmas Star by Corey Yoder. I cut 53 pieces for this 6" block and with the exception of  my late night sewing error,  it was fun to make!

Here are my  Sewcialites 2 blocks (Rainbow Scrap Challenge version) on the design wall. Next up is another red block which I will use for block pattern #19.

The rest of my quilting time today will be spent cutting fabric for a guild summer mystery called 'Teamwork". Our amazing Community Outreach team coordinates fabric kits for those willing to make a comfort quilt to donate. This is my gorgeous kit! There is everything in the bag that I need to finish this quilt. So brilliant!

I can't wait to cut into this pretty Micheal Miller floral print called "Honey Meadow" while I enjoy a fresh new blade in my rotary cutter, and a hot tea in my Bear and Fox mug (a uniquely Canadian company - no affiliation, just a happy customer!)
