I made my list of projects for Scraptastic Tuesday last month, so I would focus on the scrappy projects when I had some sewing time.
But the problem is that I have not really worked on any of them since I started getting ready to go to QuiltCon - I just have a growing scrappy mess. And last week I again had to go out of country, this time for work, meaning again no progress on the scraps. I am eager to get back into my sewing room this week..
So with no scrappy progress to show you, I am going to ask you to inspire me instead. Please join Nicky from Mrs. Sew and Sow and I by linking up a blog post or flickr or instagram photo sharing a scrappy project, in progress or finished, or your thoughts on dealing with your scrap mountain:
- You don't have to have joined us before, everyone is welcome.
- One link per person, and it will be your entry into the random draw for the prizes. It is the same link up here and at Nicky's blog - Mrs. Sew and Sow - so you only need to link up on one of our blogs.
- Please visit at least a few of the links, they are very inspiring, and leave comments too as everyone loves to connect.
- Use the Scraptastic Tuesday button if you like (code is on the sidebar) and invite your friends to join us too.
- The link is open until next Monday night at 10:00 pm MST. We will announce the winners next Tuesday.
- If you have trouble linking up let me or Nicky know and we will get you sorted.
A huge thank you to our generous sponsors for providing the following prizes:
- Sew me a Song - a $20 gift certificate
- Massdrop - Andover Chambray fat quarter bundle
- Mad About Patchwork - a $30 gift certificate

Life just takes over sometimes but I'm sure the scraps will wait for you to catch up with them. Keep dreaming scrappy projects and eventually the time will come to actually work on them.
ReplyDeletescraps can take over your life can't they - I have so many and keep making quilts and I don't make a dent in them.
ReplyDeleteI love scrappy quilts and right now I getting ready to start cutting more from my scraps for when I need them. And to clean up some of my scraps! Brenda H
ReplyDeleteYep--scrappy sewing is messy business! But lots of fun--lol!
ReplyDeleteYou have lots to look forward to this month! I just cleaned out my scrap bag. Not everything is done, but they are cut and sorted into various scrap-quilt-to-be boxes. What fun it will be to have new stuff in the scrap bag. Thanks for hosting the linkup.
ReplyDeleteSo many scraps--so little time!
ReplyDeleteI must have goofed on the link up. First timer...I'm #25. Sorry
ReplyDeleteI hope you soon get some time for sewing!
ReplyDeleteMy Gravity QAL link isn't a scrappy project I've completed, so please don't enter me in the drawing for a prize. I thought I'd link it here because it would look amazing in scraps, and there are a lot of scrappy quilters here!
ReplyDeleteI was watching the craftsy block of the month with Jinny Beyer, and was impressed with the hand piecing she was doing. It just seems automatic to me to machine piece my quilts (I have done only a little english paper piecing), but I wonder if a ziploc full of 2-1/2" squares could live in your suitcase for the next trip?
