So, what are you all up to this weekend?
Me? Why, thank you for asking. As well as Bee Blessed, taxi driving and feeding the hordes, I am about to mount an assault on my overflowing scrap box.
So, this weekend, apart from Bee Blessed tomorrow afternoon, all machine sewing is dedicated to making my box fit back in its proper spot under the table.
The plan of attack is as follows:
- Take a coloured pack of scraps
- Make a further crazy scrappy block for my collection
- Then see what leftovers can be chopped into 2.5" blocks to be stored in another box for a scrappy mini-charm quilt of some sort at a future date.
No target for the number to achieve, I just want to get the lid on that box!!
Happy weekend everybody!

Your scrap box looks just like mine. I can't get the lid on mine either!
ReplyDeleteSounds great! I always wanted to clean my scrap box but instead I spread it out in three boxes ... The plan with the 2.5'' sounds great
ReplyDeleteI have a scrap box (or four...) like that! I must do something with them. I like your idea! !
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good ambition to have!
ReplyDeleteMine are all over the floor .. And I really must do something about them esp when a 2.5yr old says 'mummy you should tidy up!'
ReplyDeleteooooh look how respectable your cutting board is, mine is a sight, nearly cut through in places and bits of fluff stuck everywhere.
ReplyDeleteIf only my scrap box was that small! I now call mine a scrap tower! Jxo
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that! I have more scraps, but mine are in ziplock bags that close, so I'm calling it good ;o)
ReplyDeleteTomorrow I will be trying to bribe my hairdressers to fit me in even though my stylist is off sick (and they didn't contact me to tell me except to leave a message on my home phone at 5pm, telling me to phone them when I was in the pub, ironically, round the corner!)
Sounds like a plan. I am off to a quilt show today and then making your ST blocks this afternoon
ReplyDeleteYou are so neat with your scraps! Di x
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Judith on this one.... I wish my scrap box was that small! At least then, hubby might not look quite so scandalised when I buy more fabric!
ReplyDeleteoh to have some scraps to do things with! I am wondering how small a scrap needs to be to go in the box is it left overs from a project or just small bits and pieces, mine are so small they seem to be of no use at all.
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like fun! I love scraps but find them difficult to control and when is a piece of fabric a scrap?
