It's that time of the month again to share what we've been working on made from our scraps.

This month first found me using part of a panel that that I'd picked up as a remnant several years ago (don't remember how many, but it has seen at least 2 moves).  The squares in the panel were 6.25" and easy to square up to a 6.5" cut size.    Alternate blocks are string-pieced ones  I made from batik scraps 10+ years ago.  Black border was cut from scraps of black Kona leftover from another project.   Binding will be cut from the same scraps.

I had pieced these strips together several years ago.   They were all from a group of strings from one line of fabrics that I found at a TX quilt shop.  Words sewn onto the postcards are scrapbooking pieces found at Dollar Tree.  Two of them will be sent out shortly.

 Scraps left after cutting up and repurposing a cotton shirt were used as the backs for the postcards.  

Gratitudes: 

1. Remediation work at the house has been completed.

2. Finally managed to get the much overdue colonoscopy scheduled and done.
