No Scrap Club for you 😷

Monday was our monthly Scrap Club day at The Dancing Bobbin, and I missed it! So bummed. 😞  I've been ordered to rest until this lingering upper respiratory thingy moves out of our home. Ughhh.  On a positive note, I've wrangled some overdue paperwork and enjoyed a lot of blog posts and youtube tutorials. 💓

on my design wall...

I'm still pondering my star sampler layout which is kinda killing my sewjo, but I did manage a bit of sewing Wednesday while the warden was at work 🙊. Cyndi is the March Queen for our Shopgirl Stashbee and chose this block for us. I'm not sure of the pattern source, but it's really cute! We're using 2 1/2" squares for the 9 patches and 6 1/2" squares for the snowball blocks.

I finished her two blocks...

...and then I accidentally made more red 9 patches.  

I was determined not to start any more scrap quilts in 2026 until there are some finishes over here. And I held out for a whole 2 1/2 months. Oops. 🙈 I mean, this is the perfect Rainbow Scrap Challenge project, and the color of the month is RED, and I already had these squares in my 2 1/2" scrap bin. So I didn't really have a choice, right?  These have now been stashed away in the RSC project box (Nothing to see here, folks 😂) and I'm back on track with the WIPs. 

Last fall, I dabbled with some EPP for the first time while on a weekend camping trip. I needed something to do while Mr. Enabler (hubs 😍) was out for his bike ride.

So I glue basted these two little cuties and very slowly stitched them together. And then I put them in a box out of sight as per usual. And another WIP was born. 😂 This is why I currently have a No New Projects rule.  Anyway, I pulled them back out this past week while scrolling Pinterest and re-watching tutorials on YouTube.  

The verdict? I'm really enjoying EPP as an evening project to keep my hands busy (instead of scrolling the phone) while relaxing with Mr. Enabler. I'm using 1 1/4" hexie papers and a box of 3" scraps. Did I mention I'm really slow? I don't have a design plan, but I probably don't need one yet.

Next up? Back to the star sampler, some gray Carolina Chain blocks and maybe another hexie or two.
