Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Kim at Kim's Big Quilting Adventure is doing scrap basket Sundays so I decided what the heck lets stitch along.

Scrap Basket Sunday

I pulled out my Farmer's wife book and cooked up two blocks this afternoon after DH and  I went for a walk at the wetlands.  (I call it swamp!  :D)


I am proud to say these are completely from scraps in my stash.  Or the stash I inherited from my aunt on my father's side.  Many scraps that I posses are from her mother's stash, and when she passed away years ago my mother and sister inherited, and I appropriated about 40lbs of fabric scraps from it. 

I also finished a jewel box block today. 

Time to start dinner for DH, and maybe a wee bit of work on a mystery quilt that has been sitting in parts on my sewing table for about a month.  Then some slow stitching this evening. 

Hope your Sunday was wonderful!

    Wow sounds like you need a month of Sundays to use all those scraps! I like your FW blocks - I'm working very slowly on this one too. Your jewel box block is beautiful too.

    Most of my material was also inherited (from grandmother & then my mother when she moved) I also have a very bad habit at yard sales of bringing more stash home!!
    Have spent some time looking around your blog. See that you you have a Singer FW. Would love to find one I could afford!! Do have a New Home Treadle and a Singer 15-91. Also a couple of other machines. Would love to collect some more but no room for more in this small house. Will be watching your blog!!
