Since I had the blue scrap bin out for the teal flower petals on Sunday night, I decided it was time to clean it out....
by the end of the day I had these six rows done...
The three on the right are much longer than the two shorter ones.... I'd guess them to be about 40" long.
I was back at it today... toiling away....found these bar blocks left over from some project and decided to square them up and stitch them together....
Oh LOOK! The bin is cleaned out.... but it took awhile.... sorted pieces into squares, string strips, other strips and some got tossed into the fabric 'trash'.
Here are the strips that are ready to be sewn onto more adding machine tape
and here's the rest... squares larger than 2 1/2" and wider strips. Looks so much better....
I also found these wedges and decided to play and see what I came up with...
Not sure what I'm going to do with it.... probably find some white to cut into a wedge for each end and then make it into another mug rug.
Since I still have all those blue strings left, I will probably make a couple more strips tomorrow... I have a project in mind for them, but going to let the idea 'percolate' for a bit before I decide.
While all this sewing has been going on, I've been watching/listening to Anne with an E on Netflix. I didn't think I'd like it, but I'm really getting into it. It's been a lot more interesting than I thought it would be.
That's it for tonight...
take care....
ttyl.......
Your blue sewing looks like a lot of fun! I like your strips that you're sewing onto adding machine tape. I bet I have a lot of pieces that I could do that with, too!
