Today is Friday. Don left for three days -National Guard stuff - and Briana went shopping downtown. I'm home all day by myself. It's chilly, overcast, and raining. I have no chores to do, and Verizon has my driveway blocked all day. I could read, nap, sew, cook, plan for next year, paint a picture, sort out closets, organize pictures, sort my fabric stash. Actually, I think sorting my fabric stash seems to win here. I have so much stuff, I cannot even close the cedar chest I've stuffed it in. AND I have some projects planned for when we return for Louisiana that I want to get ready. Lately, I've been using pieces from the top because the trunk is so disorganized. I know I have some great colors down near the bottom of that heap. Wow, I can't wait to see what treasures I might find.

One of my projects is a scrap quilt that is made with just leftover blues, purples, pinks, and greens. All the pieces are strips no wider than 2 1/2 inches wide and however long. I sewed them all together end to end until I made a long strip. Then I folded that in half and sewed the two sides together. I repeated the process until I had a piece about 2 feet wide and about 4 feet long. It is really interesting to see how the colors come together. Now I think I'll cut this crosswise and make strips 2 ft by 8 inches. I should get about 8 of these pieces. I don't know what I'll do with these strips yet. Who knows what I'll find in my fabric search today. This is the fun part!!
