Yellow rays of sunshine

Paintbox blocks

Yesterday I did a bunch of shopping and arrived home exhausted, so didn’t get as much sewing done as usual for a Friday night.  I did manage to sew these four Paintbox blocks so that I would have something for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  I wanted to do a couple more but sleep overcame me.  So they will be posted next Saturday, the last day for Yellow in the challenge.  Have a look at soscrappy to see what others are doing; be careful you might be inspired.

The existence of nearly all life on Earth is fueled by light from the sun. Most plants, use the energy of sunlight, combined with carbon dioxide and water, to produce simple sugars - a process known as photosynthesis.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you. Walt Whitman

  1. Love your paintbox blocks and your dad's tie quilt. The tie prairie points are perfect around the edge.

  7. So bright and cheery - yellow is such a fun color to work with. You're doing a great job and it looks like you're having a hoot. Awesome quilt you made for your Dad - he must be so proud of you. Hugs, Nancy
