Eyeglass cases and another month passes

Somehow a month has slipped by me and I haven't posted. Been busy just a little too busy. The ice is off the lakes, the weather is warmer some of the time and the trees are budding, it must be springtime in Wisconsin.

I did manage to make a nice project from Two Creative Studios . They have a great selection of free patterns which I love to look at and sometimes get to make.

This are so much fun to make and you can use up some small scraps and goofy yarns, or make them as elegant as you want.

One of my other scrappy projects is my quilt I'm naming Scrappy Gala. It is probably one of my ultimate scrap projects as many of the strips finish at 1/4". After making the rows of scraps, I had to chose a fabric to compete with them and luckily I had a fabric in my stash that does. I found it on a clearance table for .50 a yard and it was a delightful Michael Miller apple stripe.

It is only a top at this point and forgive the strings that are left untrimmed but that will have to wait until quilting time. I took these photos outside under my apple trees which are actually not even close to flowering yet. This truly was a fun project and I'm just tickled to use that apple fabric. I have a few strips of it left which might make exciting baby quilts.
