Hello Again

With the start of the school year I found myself very busy getting into the rythym at work but also determined to reduce my scrap stash.

 I mentioned in an earlier post that I wanted to finish languishing works in progress and reduce my stash ( specifically my scraps).  I was feeling overwhelmed by the amount of scraps I had accumulated.  So I have been sewing in earnest to make charity quilts out of those scraps.  A coworker recently had a baby girl so I pulled out some pinks, greens, and oranges and made a stacked coins quilt for her.  Once that was done... I got to work on the others.  During this time hurricanes ravaged Houston and the surrounding areas and I decided to kick it into overdrive and finish as many quilts as I could for the "Quilts for Harvey" quilt drive through the Linus connection.  I took some quick pictures of them during their construction and then feverishly basted, quilted and bound them.  I shipped them off in haste and forgot to take photos when they were done 😕.  I hope they bring some small measure of comfort to someone who needs just that.  Although I cannot replace a lifetime of memories or a family home that has been lost, I can send a quilty hug to someone in need and let them know I care.  I have also been busy with secret Christmas sewing... Hopefully I will be able to share that soon!
