Mats, Borders & Farmers Market

 Having all the prep work made the finishing on these small projects go a lot quicker after getting home from the farmers market this morning, mats for the sewing machine & the serger , here's a look at the fronts & the backs

The  first border is on the Fall panel ,strips are cut from the leaft print & the sunflower print , I'm thinking of doing a 4 patch border

The farmers market did not disappoint ,one picture I wished I'd gotten was when going to the car  I turned  to see what Grace was looking at,the peaches had came out the bottom of the bag & there was a trail of peaches following me to the car 🤣 a sweet couple stopped & helped me gather them all up 

There's a lady that makes bath bombs & these smell soooo heavenly & turns the water the color that they are 🥰 she was low on them & said she'd have more next week

Grace had a good time at the farmers market,she soaked up all the attention she was getting from people & doggie friends

Putting The Scrappy On Hold

 196 in & 109 to go,I've gotten them  to a good stage to gather up the rows & keep their sequence all tucked away in a shoe box till time to get them out again ,with finishing up the pillowcases , getting things ready for my Fall celebration dinner & then the Holidays start kicking in,it may be next year before they come out 🤣

As the day came to an end Grace & me got in a walk around the neighborhood just before dark ,I shouldn't had eaten before walking,now I'm pooped out 😄 tomorrow's a new day,maybe Grace & me will go to the farmers market ,meanwhile I think I'll  go in do a little prep work for tomorrow's projects before bed  

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" 🤣
