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!

  1. 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.

  5. 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!

  6. You're right - yellow is a good antidote to what's going on around us. Canadians are fighting back by trying very hard to only buy Canadian products but I doubt that will be enough to stop the train that's determined to make us bend to his will.

  9. Wishing you all the best with your VA benefits struggles. We do our best here in MA to vote in Senators and Congressman willing to fight for what is right. Quilting is the best self care.

  10. Yellow is a great option when it's grey outside. Love those yellow Flying Geese. Best of luck with the VA benefit struggles. Be persistent. My brother-in-law is totally disabled now, but he was very persistent as he was pursuing his VA benefits. My daughter is an OT for the VA, and is terrified about losing her job right now. But she is also terrified for the veteran patients who will be negatively impacted by what is happening. Our veterans deserve every benefit they get because they EARNED them.
