WIP Wednesday 12.11.24

Here's what I worked on this week:

I have selected a bunch of fabrics from the "multi" colored bin.  These are fabrics that are not predominantly one color and do not seem to fit into the bins sorted by color.  After I cut out the three pieces needed for a basket block (my sew-to-go project) I throw the rest of that fabric on a pile.  These pieces are a fat quarter or less.

Next I utilize my scrap-user's system (Bonnie Hunter style) and cut into usable sized strips.  I love these craft bins that I bought years ago.  They keep my strips nicely organized.  This bin is now full after cutting all of the above.  (The above completely filled the bin.)

I also pieced basket pieces for my sew-to-go project.

When the pieces of the above scraps get tiny the last step in my scrap user's system is to see if I have enough to cut 1.5" squares.  I run them through the Accuquilt and they accumulate quickly.  I sorted the red/white for the Bonnie Hunter mystery for this year.  The rest are squares for future projects.

The bulk of my time this week went to our son and my truck.  I bought this truck aroud 2009.  I have loyally taken it to the same place for the oil changes and major maintenance to keep up with the "warranty forever" guidelines.  I have sewed and sewed and even taken my Accuquilt to the dealership when I knew it would be a long wait.  This time is different.  My transmission was slipping.  I made an appointment with the dealership.  I now need a NEW transmission.  Parts and labor are covered!!!  Woohoo.  It pays to keep up on the warranty guidelines and the fine print.  When I talked to the salesman that sold me the truck and told me about this warranty I told him that one day they would have to put in a new transmission.  This is the week.

Here's a picture of Mr. Sunshine today.  He's off school for the third day in a row due to the flu.  Hopefully he's back to school tomorrow.
