stash report August 2, 2026

 I have a laundry basket under my ironing board where I trim quilts before binding. It has been overflowing for some time. It was time to fold and sort. The scraps are long, and sometimes wide. They weighed nearly 7 pounds. That would be 21 yards of useable fabric. But, backings are generally not that lovely.  Do I really need them? What to do. I think I might pre- make bindings.

I am working on my last block for my applique project - across the wide missourri-   

It is time for a tree.

another tree

I dyed a new navy piece of wool to use as the background, and, I like it much better. My hubby wanted to hook the background and did a great job.

I need to decide how I will finish it. I have a book I bought at Sauder last year during rug hooking week. That has instructions for a wool crochet binding. Since, it is a small rug, I think I want to try it and see if I like it.
