Northern Lights

 This is take 2 on the Northern Lights water color lesson I joined in on yesterday ,this particular live it was difficult to see what she was doing on a small screen,enlarging it which wasn't much hid what she was doing,which I missed a few paint mixes, the tilting if the paper etc.so I watched the reply which was a bit larger screen,took notes & did take 2 this morning 

More Blocks & Random Cutting

 Verizon service was down today,not sure about other locations but I was without service for about 4 hours, till 8 pm ,it kicked out a few rimes so hopefully I can get through this post 

I cut more strips in various blues & sewed 7 more blocks giving me a total of 11

I had a few triskit crackers left so I made what I call Butterfinger wanttabes 😄 you just put peanut butter between 2 & dip in melted chocolate bark,I melt mine in the microwave 

then I pulled out one of my totes with smallest fabric pieces & worked on cutting & triming up

the larger pieces I just squared up

after about an hour or so I accumulated

(3)  5" sq's

(20) 2"sq's

(2) 2 1/2" sq's

(2).2 1/1" random strips

(5) 2 1/2" random strips

anything less than 2" goes into a pile to use for scrapbooking & small projects,then it was time to eat 😄I made chicken & broccoli Alfredo 

cleaned off the table then time for a movie & cup of tea,do you like herbal tea? do you have a favorite? 

tomorrow I will do another live watercolor class,get caught up on bills & get in some quilting time

A Good Start On Blues

 I think I can squeak out a blue top but as far as going with the RSC challenge there's not enough of several colors to make enough blocks for a whole quilt,maybe one day with all tiny squares but Im not feeling tiny blocks right now🤣anyways these blocks are 2 1/2" x  11" in rows of 5 

My  Coca-Cola tray is perfect for keeping the strips organized & in order 

I didn't  pay attention to the width of this piece of fabric & before I knew it I'd cut it all then realized they're 10" so I'm piecing them together to get a 1" strip

The plans for the RSC quilt will require fabric shopping 🙊did I just say that? 🤣

Auditioning My Blues

 

Its hard to believe with the fabrics that I have ,I don't have any🤣 anything remotely blue is shy of a fat quarter size & smaller,maybe 2 or 3 a little  bit larger for the RSC challenge "rainbow scrap" I really don't have enough of all colors to pull a full quilt together but I'll  be able tell better once I get them under control if there is such a thing 🤣 so since January is for Blue I'm squeaking out a lap size top 

for this year I want to do a colorwash going from dark to light in each monthly color & adding the shadow effect , eventually I will take all my!  fabrics & cut them down into sizes the smallest being 2" anything smaller has got to go!😂

A Rainy Rainy Day Part 2

 The thunder finally decided to show up & show out with a loud boom followed by a trenchial downpour lasting for about 30 minutes so I transitioned over to cooking an early dinner,while that was cooking I cleaned out the fridge of things that I knew wont last much longer & came up with stuffed peppers & breaded cauliflower,one sad lemon got made into  lemonade,leftover flour & cheese mixture from the cauliflower got turned into biscuits "waste not want not"😄

I seared a beef patty,removed it from the pan & made scratch gravy with a spoon of flour,stirring till it browned,adding garlic powder, onion buts & milk, stirring till desired thickness then returning the patty back to the skillet & cooking in the oven till done,green limas & tried birds eye steam bag  roasted potatoes
