Last week. Phew! I made a little progress on sewing through my fabric stash. I finished a pair of socks. I am working on the first test round of my Until We Win: Fight Shawl.

I wrote about my socks here and my sewing here, just in case you missed it. The socks are recent stash- they count toward my “Use 100 balls of stash yarn in 2021” and knit 3 pairs of socks for YOP 21/22. The shawl uses repurposed frogged yarn, and is part of Pattern Development and using stash yarn goals.
This morning, there were birds eating my zinnia mature flower seeds! I saw 4 total, but only captured a picture of 1. I’ve seen humming birds enjoying the nectar, but this is the first time I saw non-nectar eating birds out there in the flowers. The picture isn’t the best, its taken from my iPhone, Zoomed in 10x, THROUGH a window that should be cleaned inside and out.

Love your socks, the colours and stripes are lovely. Here’s an idea for using up even the tiniest scraps: try soluvlies. You just throw a bunch of scraps on it, iron over them to attach them to the soluvlies, then free-motion sew over them (make sure you really sew over every scrap), and then wash the soluvlies away in cold water. Voila – a new piece of fabric that you can cut up to use in a quilt, or use for a bag or pillow or whatever strikes your fancy.

I love making project bags and notions bags. I have some cute charlie harper fabric to turn into a bag someday. Love your colorful quilt.

Another week of fun progress on your projects! Is it a female goldfinch? Kind of looks like it from over here……

I checked the old Google images, and this seems a likely match. I should really up my nature identification skills- they are abysmal.

Gorgeous fabric lining that bag you’ve made. Looks like you have been really busy, the quilt is amazing…almost hypnotic looking at all the patterns and shapes, such a cool idea.

You are so productive, Cinna! Glad you provided links back to previous projects. I enjoyed seeing some things I didn’t catch when you first posted.

I use my mid-week posts to remind me of what I accomplished during the week! I sit at my computer on Sundays and draw a blank on what I’ve accomplished.

I will definitely make more, with nylon zippers! The metal zippers were not quite as flexible.
