WHAT IS GOING ON TODAY AT CAMP BEJEWELED RETREAT?

Oh you guessed it....my scraps are in revolt. They heard me complaining about their breeding habits.....

Get back you scrappy beast...get back!!!


I need to teach them a lesson...so out I pull my go cutter....oh yes....we have a camp day with Mr. Go....
While I was in my cutting frenzie, Krista came over....I stopped my scrap busting and let her cut out the drunkard's path for two quilts..... While she was sewing (showed her how easy the curves were) I took her scraps and busted them all up...no scrap breeding at her house.


Then at the end of my cutting....this is the results....Ahhhhhhhhh feels sooooooooooooooooo good.


The scraps are not overflowing the top of this basket any more. If you want to see what it did look like, just look on the post below. Until another day you scrappy beast....and let this be a lesson to you....no scrap breeding tonight. If you are over flowing in the morning...there is going to be a cutting......mark my word..... Be afraid....be very afraid.

    So happy you have the upper hand, Barb.

    Long Live the Go! cutter. Now I'm looking forward to seeing what you make with all those tamed and tidy pieces.

    It does seem like those pesky scraps breed. When I get my Go or studio I plan to keep my two scrap bins down to one. What is bad is I have several stacks of squares cut in one of those plastic roll around drawer thigy's. I just have way to much fabric.

    Excellent Barb! You are ready to make more quilts. I am just wondering if you will sew as much when you move off the island.

    So, I take a break from blogging a bit (life's busy crazy right now) and your scraps decide to breed! I'm glad you tamed them and it looks like they're going to be some beautiful quilts now!

    We just gotta keep up with the beastly scraps.....or they take over our sewing areas. The GO makes it easy to use them.

    Wow! You sound serious! If I was scrap at your house I would definitely stay home and not party tonight!

    You make me laugh! However, I do believe scraps are just like bunnies, multiplying every time you turn around.

    Great job on those pesky scraps. They do reproduce when we aren't looking, though...so watch out. You'll have lots more in a couple weeks.

    Very cute post. You are not tossing the scraps in the basket are you? Clearly, you need to get the flower and/or tear drop die. The tear drop die consumes even very small scraps!
