Veronica has been sewing away on her beloved Juki sewing machine. She started with a challenge last Wednesday. Her friend Carol said they were going to use up some fabric! Veronica told Carol she was in. Veronica decided she wanted to get rid of her yellow fabric stash. She doesn't like yellow, but she sure does have a ton of it.
So she cut cut yellow till she had over 100 2 1/2" strips for the pattern Carol said they were working on. Then off she went to the sew-in that Dayton Quilt Guild had. They sewed all day, they raced sewing fabric strips. They were maniacs! But they were having fun. They talked about all the memories in these fabrics strips. A few came from some friends who have passed away, but there were still some great memories of shopping trips and "what the heck possessed me to buy this fabric". At night she came home to work on her mini stars. She says they're a beast, she has so many seams using her tiny scraps, but her Juki sews right thru them like shes sewing butter. Butter, Yum! Sorry, this bear loves to eat.
She's been working on a lot of stuff, she even sewed mini yo-yos on the drive to Louisiana for her granddaughter's birthday party. Then she worked on hexies going the other way. Shes says she's cleaning up fabrics, using them up, putting them in quilts so they'll leave her house. She does have a lot of fabric. She's challenged herself to get it done.
Shes' s got the orange challenge going with Mattie, Quiltsmart's owner. If you're interested in joining the Bitty Lone Star Challenge, you can find that on Bear Thread Design's Instagram at BTDQSFall Lone Star Challenge. You've got time, it doesn't start till October 1st. She's thinking of new challenges. We'll see how long she keeps this up. Stay tuned for more adventures with Veronica and Jaggie.
