Making the Cut

Butterfly Weed is in bloom and the butterflies are happy! So that makes me happy! 

Saturday Salutations! Has your weekend started out as a delightful one? I sure hope so. 

Flaming Butterflies which was finished earlier. 

Me? Well Mr. Pinker and I are camping again!  I know ! I know! I bet you are thinking - doesn't that gal ever stay home. LOL. Well since Mr. Pinker has retired we have been keeping the roads hot!  But yes, my weekend is starting off nicely. 

Anywhooo. I think it is time to cut into some fabrics

 All tied up in a pretty ribbon. I have had these fat quarters for years. 

Some of these pretties will be used in the RSC blocks. 

2 1/2" strips are cut. 

Oooh, butterfly fabric! ๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก

Time to make some orange "On the Plus Side" blocks. 

 

I will then use some of the pretty fat quarters to cut out some hexies. I need 5 more hexies flowers before I begin to applique them .

  1. On the road again!!! Don't forget to have fun!! Love the orange blocks. Can't wait to see more. Of course, I'm crazy about your hexies. If you were to look back to early 2023 you'd see a pile of hexies I worked on for a bit. Then I got distracted and set them aside. Big Sigh! Anyway, I've been working on them again and thoroughly enjoying the stitching process. I couldn't click on the Pam Buda freebie to download it but that's ok. Lately I've been back on my small quilts kick and enjoying those projects, as well. Happy trails to you and Mr Pinker with loads of hugs, Darlene J

  2. I hope you have a lovely time.
    We just returned from France. We were there for only a week, because the temperatures were way to high for me.
