Snippets of time

 I feel like these little snippets represent the short spurts in which i got some quilting done today.

Yesterday i did have time to spend a few solid hours on scrap crystals and completed three more blocks.

But its a new month so i needed something for RSC 2019.

Halfway done with some black and white tumalo trail blocks.

I agree with Angela. These will really add spark to that collection of blocks.

Its getting bit crowded on my sewing desk so i decided to to sew up the remaining kits for the mini shoo flies.

I think with two more i can throw together a mini quilt or something with these.

And I saw a tutorial for 

Bonnie's Crooked Courthouse Stepsblocks and got that new project itch. 

These are fun so far. And I do have a lot of strings.......

So why do I have these snippets of time?

I am painting a lot more often now and my painting area is near my sewing room.  Watercolor and gouache require drying time between the layers of paint are applied. So I lay down a layer, go sew for a while and then come back and paint some more.

In general my time is limited because i am in watercolor class again on Thursdays and its the beginning of oak leaf harvest and i am exercising more so i can drop a few pounds. Luckily, autumn clears my head and brings me a surge of energy after i am sapped by the heat humidity and bugs of summer.

Hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather and inspiring colors of autumn.
