Saturday in Pink

While looking for a missing part for the mystery clue #3 (no clue where those 2 parts went!), I found these parts and pieces at the bottom of a basket. They are pink... with limey green. I remember purchasing these two fabrics at a going out of business sale in Burlington VT in the late 90's. I had taken a hand quilting class there once. I see some flying geese big parts, some small hst's and the bigger ones were sewn into these 6 blocks. I think this will be the basis of a table topper this month. No clue where it is going but it is time to get them sewn and into a completed project.


I have really not sewn this week other than to make a couple of masks and then have to rework them to make them smaller from the complaints I got. These are the parts for one of the RSC blocks I am planning to make. I don't have as much variety with pinks (my daughter liked red and purple instead of pink!) so it was slim pickings. 


I have 9 of the Hexagon QAYG blocks completed. 


Last night was homemade pizza followed by watching Miracle on Ice. Aidan had selected a quote for a school project last month and it was one from Herb Brooks. I figured he should watch the movie, too. Nice to watch a feel good movie to end the turbulent week.

Emily is insisting I get dressed as she needs to head to horses shortly. It is chilly out.... high 40's. I am not looking forward to sitting outside for over an hour today. It is still much better than feels like 100+ though!
Linking up with the RSC Challenge.

I have also been requested to make some more masks in smaller sizes today. It isn't too bad out there if you can stay out of the wind, and the sun is shining a bit now, so that should help you stay warm. Have fun with your hexies.

Little bits of PINK this week, Deb. Hoping you will find some time to spend time in the sewing room this weekend!

I will be getting ready to go for a walk soon and it will still be in the low 40s here - always hard to decide what to wear so you do not get too warm when walking - have fun with Emily

Love your blocks--I need to start my little squares for RSC--but am debating sizes...
I have so many triangles (cut offs and precuts) so may do B&W centers with pink triangle corners...I just cannot seem to come to a decision. the News has really exhausted us the past few days...taking a break from it for a bit--if we can...
Hugs, Julierose stay safe

I never have much pink, either! Your pink and lime green will make a fun project. Love "Miracle on Ice!" That was a pretty neat game to watch way back then - we couldn't believe they were going to win!

Feels good to move a UFO out of the closet and into the light again, doesn't it? Your hexies are very pink and that is good for January. I'm with you -- would rather be out in colder weather than hotter! My husband thinks I'm nuts.
