It’s been HOT! Temperatures have been in the 100’s. To beat the heat I’ve been sewing. My sewing room is in the cool basement. It’s a great place to beat the heat.
To increase the cool I pulled out my blue scrap bins. I have two, one for dark blues the other for light blues. When I had only one blue bin. It was always overflowing. I’m better at managing and keeping things under control now that I have two. I also pulled out my low volume bin.
I did a rough sketch to place my falling snow. Then got busy sewing it up. Once the blocks were sewn together I loaded it on the long arm. Quilting a simple swirling pattern around the snow globe. While quilting falling snowflakes inside the globe. To finish it off I did a woodgrain motif along the base.
Finally I found a light blue denim look fabric in my stash for the binding.
