I bought fabric from Vicki since she’s closing down her dyeing business. Since I waited this week to open it, I haven’t counted yet. It’s a lot. I have hundreds of 16 patch blocks ready to make into quilts this fall, so I will get my stash report turned back in the right direction.
Quilting, stash busting, sewing, my children (the Assistant, Spunky, Q, JoJo, Miss G, Sneaky Pete, and BJ), and my homestead.

Flowers and 16 Patches
The Scouts came home a day early due to weather and strep, so the yard is a mess of drying tents and miscellaneous gear. I am glad that it’s not my job to clean it all up when dry! I get to enjoy the afternoon inside, as it is quite warm here and not rainy at all.
Yesterday, we (all the non-Scouts in the family) did our annual summer dyeing. Some of us dyed shirts, but there were also a few shorts and a dress. We dyed silks for Bojagi and fabric for me to dye. The Assistant has requested a curtain for her college dorm, so we picked a few colors for that. We started the rinsing process this morning, but we’ll get back to it tonight.

Blue Scraps
The husband, Q, and JoJo are headed to scout camp next week, so I think I’ll have a better chance of sewing mindlessly! Of course, PK wants me to create dragon wings and Miss G has dreams of tie dyeing this week, so I might not.

Pleasantly Blue
What did I do this week? Mostly, it feels like, prepare for work. I’ll be returning to teaching full time this fall, so I needed fingerprints and paperwork and all the things.
I also made a weighted blanket for my niece’s best friend. It’s not that it takes so long, really, but that it’s messy. I have little plastic pellets all over my floor because they are experts at escaping.
In between all the coming and going and messiness, I did sew my blue strips into sets and cut them all. Next week, I have classes Monday through Thursday, so I’m trying to imagine what I can actually get done each day. For now, I’ll just enjoy this pretty container of fabric.
