Weekend Plans

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.

I usually make my scrappy blocks as a by-product of other stitching but lately there hasn't been the same amount of machine time so I've just been stuffing scraps away under the table until they just don't fit anymore. The lid spends more time sliding off the mountain of scrap packs than it does containing and protecting from dust!

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:

  1. Take a coloured pack of scraps
  2. Make a further crazy scrappy block for my collection
  3. 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!

  1. Your scrap box looks just like mine. I can't get the lid on mine either!

  2. Sounds 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

  5. Mine 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!'

  8. Good luck with that! I have more scraps, but mine are in ziplock bags that close, so I'm calling it good ;o)

    Tomorrow 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!)

  11. I'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!

  12. oh 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.

  13. It does sound like fun! I love scraps but find them difficult to control and when is a piece of fabric a scrap?
