ScrapHappy - June 2024

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

Don't forget to check out what everyone has posted this month - 

KateGun, EvaSue, Lynda, Birthe, Turid, Tracy, JanMoira, SandraChrisAlysClaireJeanDawnGwen, Sunny, Kjerstin, SueL,  Vera, Ann, Dawn2, Carol,  Preeti, VivKarrin, Amo, AlissaLynn, Tierney and Hannah


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.
