What's Next On The Table?

 Fall is coming! Quicker for me as I host a Celebrate Fall  dinner buffet for friends & family the first day of Fall which is September 21st so in the next few weeks you'll see me transitioning into Fall

Even the butterfly's are looking fallish 🍂 

A lot to do today 🤔 a lot that I want to do 😄 so a good breakfast is a good start, waffles are easy ,keto friendly & low carb with 1 egg,1/2 c. almond flour,tsp. baking powder,6 tbsp.  milk of your choice 

I straightened up the rows on the scrappy layout & did the math ,the layout is a 16 X 19  so counting the blocks in row 3  (16)& subtracting 16 from 19 tells me row 3 needs 3 more blocks & so on for each row then add the totals concluding 122 blocks to go 

Working On The Scrappy Layout

 Still working on my "puzzle"😄 I've added about 50 more blocks , trying to evenly distribute the color variations ,I didn't want to do groups of color like I do when going for a color wash look,that's when I came up with the idea of laying it out like a puzzle ,this way I can tell  when there's too much of one color in a clusters & keeping lights & farks evenly distributed throughout the top I dare say there may be a little over 100 more to go🤔 

More Progress On The Scrappy Layout

 

Lets see how much progress we can get done today, I'm not sure how many blocks I got sewn last night,it was a lot 😄 so far I'm liking the color pattern that's coming together 

I'm trying to keep a balance of lights & darks as opposed to color grouping, so far they look balanced in the black & white scale 

Rerouting Before I Lose My Mind 🤣

 The serger is still not cooperating,so no finishing pillowcases today,so I decided to work on more scrappy strip blocks,Im trying out a new way of laying them out"puzzle style" 🤣

Auditioning Fabrics For Pillowcases

 There's been an explosion of pillowcases in the makings in the sewing room,going through my good stash I'm finding quite a few that coordinates with the body prints 

This pile is ready for pressing & rolling up into a jelly roll

Then they get sewn across the top & pulled through & put over the rocker waiting to go through the serger finishing the side & bottom seam

Got Thread?

While shop hoping in Montgomery, my niece & me stopped at walmart,she asked doesn't our walmart sell thread? I said barely but they don't sell all the colors like this in the all purpose,so we laugh at the thought of driving 2 hours for  thread🤣

A reusable bag is always good but beware of the staple

my first thought was ouch  now i have a hole in my finger😄 then maybe they did that on purpose so you cant zip it open & steal the thread🤷

All of it wouldn't fit in my large thread jar so I seperated lights & darks

My thread shelf is growing 🤣*all purpose,*100% cotton,*embroidery,*serger,*whites/blacks/greys*,quilting ,how do you organize your threads?
