Stash, Scraps and Klosjes

Saturday Klosjes
I have 19 klosjes but it has taken me 3 weeks and a lot of waiting time to have this many to post. My total is 39....maybe more now that I'm home. I do like stitching these 2" darlings.The remainder of last week was spent on a mission to cull the scraps. Anything I could use for strings went to completing these finale 6 blocks of QAYG quilt.
The remainder of the scraps found themselves in 3 piles.
Charm Squares for a future hexagon quilt
Strips 1 1/2"x6" for fence rail quilt
The remaining scraps went out the door.

It was good to use and then throw out bits too small for anything. I have more space (well a little).

And feeling virtuous I cooked a chicken dinner for DH DD and her BF. It is nice to have family drop in. They are all laughing at T.V. I'm off to join in.
Have a good week.



Happy Stitching Terry
