I have just sat down at my cutting table and looked out into the garden. This is the view I see each time I do some sewing. The colours always pop at this time of night and as you can see the rhodedendrons and acers are just coming into their prime. We have had a shower of rain today and everything looks so fresh and vibrant. Wouldn't some of these colours look lovely in a quilt.
I have been tidying my lucky dip boxes this week. These are boxes which hold my pieces of fabrics which are a little more than a scrap but less than half a metre. Four or was it five boxes looking a jumble like this.

| A bit of a mess - how could you find anything in this box |
.................and ending up a bit neater like this
 |
| Not quite finished - they are not in proper colour value yet |
Hopefully this will make me more inclined to use up some of these smaller pieces - then I can move on to my proper stash which maybe I will show you sometime in the future.
I am now about to sew two more 'Toes in the Sand' blocks tonight.
Till next time.
