Sunshine in my Sewing Room!

In my sewing room is pretty much where the only sunshine around here was located this week. That’s because I’ve begun sewing on my yellow scraps. Angela called yellow for our Rainbow Scrap Challenge color of the month for March. What a cheery color to work with when it’s gloomy and rainy or snowy outside!

Although I did quilt one quilt top this week, I’ll save that for next week because it’s not yet bound or labeled. Instead, I’ve got some yellow scrap blocks to share. 

Nine flying geese blocks ar 6.5”, unfinished:


And two Weathervane blocks in yellow and gold. These finish at 12”.


I really enjoy making these blocks!



Although I’m almost done with my yellow strings, I’ll wait until next week to show them once they’re actually complete. And thank you all who commented on Bruce’s denied Veteran’s Administration benefits last week. We will likely try again in a few months, now that we’ve completed our 2024 taxes. We’re not going to hold our breath, though. With this new nightmare (the clownish Trump regime), nothing is certain. 

Have a great week!

You're keeping your sunny side up, Cathy! I got all our tax info into a spreadsheet except the one big medical bill (cataracts). I called the clinic, left a message . . . and will have to call again.

Love the weathervane with the polka-dots. Great job with the yellow. Looking forward to your next post. Enjoy! ;^)

yellow blocks are good! I hope for a new outlook on the VA but it seems like all is getting worse not better

I am writing my senators and representative every week to make sure they fight for our veterans. This is just ridiculous stuff that the current administration is doing. Thank goodness for sunny yellow sewing therapy!
