UNCLE

That's what I'm calling.... I worked for several hours on sorting out the big bin of scraps... the pic below is one I took when I was ready to call "UNCLE"... I admit I 'fluffed' up the stash as I was going through... but there's still a LOT of scraps.

 The blue, the green and the white bins are now full and hard to close... I need to figure out something else for them... I don't know if I have any larger bins that I can swap out; I'll have to look - just not tonight.

There are four more bins stashed somewhere else right now.

After giving up on sorting for today, I started working on this month's RSC - purple/lavender.  I finished one completely and the second one is done except for the bottom two corners.  Three and four are only partially cut out.

Isn't he cute?

and, oh yeah, before I started the sorting, I made up the second BeachBall Dresden plate block and I'm glad that I decided to stop at the two...

I really don't like the way they turned out; I don't know if it's because they are so 'bulky' or what it is... It's just so surprising because normally I LOVE dresden blocks.  I'm really hoping that it's just this particular block because I have three other Dresden plate quilts on my To Do list.

I glued the clamp for my LA with super glue last night and then left it alone until this morning... checked it out and it seemed ok - until I went to clamp it back onto the end of the frame - PING, it broke off and went flying again.  I don't think there was enough glue left in the bottle to insure a good hold.  The second time I went and got the E6000 - there was plenty of that!  I'll cross my fingers and check again in the morning.  I'm sure I'll need a new clamp, but maybe this will do until the new one comes.

Oh!.... and I placed an order this morning... for  the supplies and pattern for one of those tuffets that's been the 'rage' the last couple of years.... only this one is miniature/pincushion size.  It's just so cute and I just HAVE to add it to my pincushion collection.
