The first few four patches are done and I arranged some of them up on the design wall. Since these are my scraps (for the most part, some of Judy's too) the color palette is overall blue-ish. ((If you're squeamish stop reading here, thanks for coming by!))
I actually did some school-related sewing this week. We spent an afternoon in the classroom learning to suture! Perhaps unsurprisingly, being a quilter did not give me any particular advantage when it came to suturing. We all brought chicken, cow tongue, or pig feet to practice on and it was a pretty fun afternoon. The meat was not wasted, after all the sutures were removed it was taken to a local Tiger Rescue where the big cats were very grateful :)

A friend of mine spent some time this week learning how to remove stitches (there's nothing like youtube to learn just about anything!), so you just never know when these skills will come in handy! Lol! Love your scrappy blocks - they look like a great way to use the smaller pieces!
ReplyDeleteI really like mindless scrap sewing. Your Bonnie Lass pattern is going to make a super-cute quilt!! (And I just may have to start one of these quilts... NEXT year!)
ReplyDeleteI did NOT expect to see surgical stitching going on. LOL
ReplyDeleteWow, your sutures look very neat! And I love the Bonnie Lass pattern.
ReplyDeleteWho knew suture practice happens on chicken?! Makes sense, though. I'm glad the big kitties got a treat, too.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely arrangement of 4 patches. I like to have this sort of mindless sewing as a leaders and enders project.
ReplyDeleteLove the pinwheel type blocks--very colorful and crazy!
