RSC Week 9 - March is Yellow from Grandma's Red Needle

HAPPY MARCH!

It's the first Saturday in March and many of us are ready for RSC (Rainbow Scrap Challenge) show and tell. Angela at SuperScrappy has chosen YELLOW for spring!

I prefer doing the RSC blocks at the beginning of each month, after Angela has chosen the color. When they are done, I'm 'free' to do whatever.

My goal this year is to finish some UFOs, so let's see how that works out his month.

I had almost forgotten I'm doing Pat Sloan's '182 Day Solstice Challenge'!

I started the BOM in May 2024, and ...

RSC Week 5 - February is BLUE and a Squirrel popped In from Grandma's Red Needle

Happy February!

Where did January go?!

February; it means a new RSC (Rainbow Scrap Color). Angela at SuperScrappy has chosen BLUE for this month.

Three blue cups are made.

I'll make maybe two or three more.

I didn't expect the squirrel to visit! It was good in a way, I needed a short break from quilting ten place mats for a customer.

This is what the squirrel got me to do:

5 scrappy blocks using pink (January RSC color) in the center.

...and three blue.

Do you see the pink and blue cats?

RSC 2025 Week 4 - January is PINK from Grandma's Red Needle

A new year is here (already end of January!) and so is RSC (Rainbow Scrap Challenge) hosted by Angela at Superscrappy.

I've been participating in RSC since 2023 and now I'm running out of some colors. PINK is one of them. In 2023, I had approximately 13 yards, + already cut squares in different sizes. Arreli's quilt was made the same year, using pink front and back, all from my stash. Pink blocks were made as well as some items for my Etsy Shop. You can see them all here.

I've been looking for more pink in ...
