Scraps
Another church picture. I was in a classroom I usually don't visit and enjoyed seeing the rug and the sunlight.
Years ago, I don't know when, I put a good-sized laundry basket under a sewing machine table and have ever since thrown in scraps. And now it's overflowing.
This week, I started pulling out pieces. Some, I've cut into 4" squares for a scrap baby quilt. Others are strips, mostly left from pieces of binding, usually 2 1/4". Those I'm sewing together for a different baby quilt. And some I'm throwing away because they are too small for what I have in mind.
And so, we shall see. I'm finding that an hour of this is enough for any one day.
Occasionally I recognize a piece of fabric, but usually not. I'm realizing that I go through a LOT of different fabrics.
Yesterday, I enjoyed the news, reading the words of two former presidents.

Yes, I didn't like Bush as President but he seems to have matured nicely or perhaps he's more human with out Darth Vader his VP. I even like General Kelly but understand as a general he must respect and obey his President--even when in his gut he KNOWS the guy is WRONG.
I cleaned out the freezer today--tomorrow I'll dump everything in the work dumpster. So many things with frost inside the containers or packages. Lots of frozen green and red peppers. Never used even 25% of the ones I froze. Better to give them away by the paper sack full. Or grow less.
I am wanting Halloween candy. Especially Twizzlers. Must Not Buy Any.
I used to have a basket under the cutting table (yes, I had a cutting table) and whenever something I was working on needed a little something--it was right there in the basket. I miss that basket. It was a mystery to me how the thing I needed was always there. Hope you are as lucky!!!
