First of all many thanks to Wendy for organising our Friday evening again - do pop over to Wendy's blog to see who else joined in and what they were working on.
After an excellent Fish and Chip lunch in a local restaurant I sat down to complete my RSC crumb blocks for the month. Actually, I was working on crumbs from September as well as we were away all last month and my orange blocks did not get made. I made the little Dresden flowers earlier in the week. So here we are - Septembers orange Dresdens and crumb blocks.
The colour for October is light and bright greens. Well, I used all my green scraps earlier in the year so instead I pulled out all my black and grey scraps. Here you can see my Dresdens, seven crumb blocks and a few little squares for the Scraptherapy box. I have also cut enough petals for two more Dresdens as looking at my quilt I can see that I will need four altogether.
This year I have been trying to clear out my crumb box - at the beginning of the year I had to put another box on top of it to keep it closed - now it is just half full.
There are still plenty of cream and brown scraps in there which I know I will use next year. Otherwise I am very happy with how this year has gone.
Linking up with Angela at Soscrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday. Thank you Angela.
Your flowers are gorgeous. Lovely orange fabrics.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun blocks! Congratulations on reducing your crumb stash so much over the last year!
ReplyDeleteWOW, you’ve done an excellent job of using probably more than half of your crumb box scraps! Well done. Your Dresdens and blocks look terrific.
ReplyDeleteI always love crumb blocks! Such a great way to use up the little pieces. Your Dresdens are adorable, too!
ReplyDeleteCute little Dresden flowers! It must feel wonderful to have your crumb box half full!
ReplyDeleteI think we’re all envious of how well you’ve done in paring down your scrap box! I love your crumb blocks and those Dresden flowers are sooooo cute!
ReplyDeletelovely orange blocks and also the grey/black ones... look forward to seeing them all put into a quilt.
ReplyDeleteHi-I'm new to your blog! Your Dresdens are very cute. Ah, my crumbs are overfilling my basket and spreading on the floor. It's time!
ReplyDeletegreat job - it takes a lot of work to use the scraps
ReplyDeleteWell done you on getting the level in the crumb box down a little.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving those wee flowers and looking forward to seeing them all together in a quilt.
Well done you for whittling down that crumb box of yours. Your crumb blocks and hexie dresden flowers look pretty in those shades of orange. Yum....fish and chips! =)

No matter how much I sew, I never get the scraps to diminish. How did you managed that? Love your Dresden flowers and I can't wait to seeing them all together. Fish and Chips? I hadn't had that in such a long time. Let's do that for diner tonight. Thanks for the inspiration. ;^)
ReplyDeleteHow lucky are you to make your scraps smaller. I can only hope that happens to me one day.
ReplyDeleteCrumb blocks are always so fun and the flowers are pretty.
ReplyDeleteYou have done a great job with your scraps this year, Lin! I'm looking forward to seeing how you will use those little flowers.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are always so nice. Half full box of scraps is wonderful progress!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Dresden flowers :-)) and great when the supply melts.
ReplyDeleteMany greetings from the city of Dresden.
Yesterday we had a big fabric market on the Altmarkt ... it was just wonderful. Today I start with a small quilt for a bag :-)
Good Sunday for you and greetings from me.
I need to take a page out of your book! My crumb bin is now a big bag….full.
ReplyDeleteWow, good job on using up so many scraps. I definitely need to do RSC next year.
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks and Dresden's from your scraps.
ReplyDeleteYou have done so well to reduce your crumb box. I’m looking forward to seeing what you create with all you blocks and dresdens. My crumb box is getting to overflowing too, so I may have to do something similar next year.
ReplyDeleteWell done! It's always an alarming moment when the box needs a weight on it to stay closed!
ReplyDeleteI have used scraps on a few projects but the pile isn't going down very much! lol
ReplyDeletevery pretty dresdens and blocks.
