Bits and Pieces of Purple

Sometimes progress in my sewing room is measured in bits and pieces, and this week was like that!

You can see, there's lots of purple pulled out to stitch up!

After finishing last week's Storm at Sea, it didn't take long to be ready for a lantern block.


Along the way, I worked with 2.5 inch squares, 1.5 x 2.5 inch rectangles, and crumb pieces that don't fit into any particular category.

Some of those pieces are very dark purple!

All caught up on September's Tiny Tuesday blocks.  Yay!


I'll leave you with these pretty purple wildflowers that we spied on a hike this week.


Happy ScrapHappy Saturday!

    I love the look of your storm at sea; I may just have to clone/copy/duplicate/make one similar for myself. :)

    Hi Diann,
    I love your Storm at Sea block. You do such good work! I haven't done any RSC blocks for a while. You just inspired me to get at it!

    You have a nice variety of purples. The lantern block is neat!
    You seem to find time for frequent hikes - how wonderful!

    Loving the purple! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Storm at Sea in purple or on point. Fabulous!

    Good on you for doing the Storm at Sea block! I gave it a try and failed, so I did my own block.

    That Storm at Sea is gorgeous! Congrats to you on what looks to be a most complex block.

    The lantern block is beautiful. Love all the shades of purple.
    I am very unsure of making a tiny block. They are too pesky (for me) and move too much. Therefore I am very impressed by your neat and tiny block.

    Your blocks are lovely. I’m glad you put your Storm at Sea on point too; it looks totally different!
