Sew Sampler Sewing ~ March Box 2020

It was another rainy sewing day today.

We have snow in the forecast for tonight as the temperature dips.

I also washed floors and cleaned house today as I do every Monday.
I also started my spring closet reorganization,
putting away the warm fleece and taking out the t-shirts and capris.

These days, though, I seem more obsessive about sanitizing door knobs 

and locks and outside handles.

The pretty fabrics and colors soothed my quilty soul.

This one was sew lovely to work with.

The colors seem to glow on the background,

which appears gray but may have a touch of blue.

The photo does not do this fabric justice.

Nor does the one in the shops ...

This is 

Morning Seed Stitch from Homemade by Tula Pink

available at in the link at Fat Quarter Shop 

and other fine fabric shops. 

It is a big seller and keeps going in and out of stock. 

This was in the 

March Sew Sampler Box from Fat Quarter Shop

All the box goodies in the link above.

This was a fun box to open.
I also bought the finishing kit this month.

Usually I do not but the finishing kits but I am glad I did because it had this

seed sprinkled fabric goodness in the finishing kit.

My quity kitties and I have been having fun with this one.

I have been a Sew Sampler box subscriber for three years 

and I love receiving this surprise package each month,

but April may be my last box.

I have so many of these kits that I have yet to sew

that I need to catch up and maybe sell or give away some of them.

Spring is a time to weed so new growth may occur.

Tonight is still a warm fleecey, quilty night, though.

May you be warm and safe and well in your own quilty place.

Sunday Scrappy Sewing

Sunday was a scrappy sort of day here in The Scrapatch.

While the rain dripped outside, I played inside with the pretty fabric.

Today these pretty new fabrics called to me.

These pretties are

Homemade by Tula Pink

I cut all the fabrics for a new quilt.

The I decided to do some improv sewing with some of the smallest scraps.

Soon I had this mini quilt made from the scraps from the box.

The I picked out some more scraps and sewed some more.

An hour later I had a finished an improv mini quilt.

I found a scrap piece of batting and some of my older Tula Pink scraps

for the back and binding.

This mini quilt is Quilty Kitty Approved! 

What have you been sewing this weekend?

May you and yours be well and safe <3

My DrEAMi Moment for March

My DrEAMi Moment For March

The squirrels outside have been enjoying an early spring here 

and have been chasing each other up and down and all around

the trees in our backyard.

My indoor quilty kitties have spent hours watching

squirrel-vision out the windows. 

The quilty ideas have been squirreling around with my quilty muse.

I know you have seen a lot of this little guy on my blog this month,

but he is getting a few more posts.

On review, I realized he was very much my

  "Drop Everything and Make it" project of the month.

March 1st Found These Fabrics

sitting on my cutting table 

with a squirrel running around in my head to 

make them into a pillow to send to My Girl.

It feels like a long time since I visited her last December and

have been feeling far away from my daughter

who is feeling far away from family

while my SIL is serving his country overseas

and wanted to do something with her. 

Somehow this lead to our writing a quilt block pattern together and

was created.

Here is the Finished Pillow in its new Home 

I see porgs and droids and yoda in that basket but no squirrels,

There are no squirrels in Star Wars, I guess.

Star Wars needs a squirrel critter ... maybe next series? 

I have squirreled off topic.

This is a Free-For-Personal-Use-Only-Pattern

Some Things to Smile About

This patch of crocus in my backyard has lifted their blooms to the sun. 

I am making progress on my sunflower sewing.

Mr Scrapatch, Bounty Hunter,
brought home the bounty.
(We are not hoarders; we really needed these
and we shared with our neighbor. )

I made cupcakes to celebrate.
They are (l-r)
Mango Tango,
Chocolate Pudding Cups,
Vanilla Sprinkles,
and Rum Butter Pecan.

I had Mango Tango.
filled and topped with some jam from a jar of organic goodness.

Yum!

May you and yours be well and safe
and enjoying the little joys of life.
