19 Years after 9/11

So hard to believe that 9/11 was nineteen years ago.  

I still haven't gotten started on the notecards for each purse, but I do have a plan! 

And I have been working in the studio happily,  Having both hands and arms is huge!  I cleaned up from all the purses and started in on organizing and going through scraps. 

I'm quilting by machine a grandson's quilt, and it feels good to machine quilt.  He wants a light weight quilt.  So, Mountain Mist poly batt and an Art Gallery backing.  I love the texture of this quilt.  

My Chicago MQG is doing a charity quilt for QuiltCon 2021 based on Chicago music.  Below is my block.  Guess whose music I chose?  

Reorganizing and cleaning the studio after the 31 purses was productive.  And to further the carthasis, I started going through all my scraps - ironing, cutting most into 2.5" strips, sorting by color, and making one wacko pile.

                                

 My scraps have scraps.  Some of my scraps are 20 years old.  Some of my scraps I look at and still love and remember exactly what I did with them.  Quilters are like that.  This final picture has things organized on a table, but that's not a great permanent storage place.  I'm doing a workshop in a week about scraps and improv quilting.  I will have a lot to choose from.  

The studio?  A happy and productive place.  And yes, I'm working on those notecards!
