Another busy week, but I feel like I had more direction in my sewing than recently, so I am pleased. I got my regular machine back from the shop the week before last, but didn't get it set up until today. I had gotten used to the back up machine, but I was glad to pack it up. The table top has also been cleared more.

I finished the orange crayon for the RSC and will make a pink one in May to account for my color error. I am really liking the crayons and am so glad I decided to do this as my first foray into the RSC world.

I finished the last Scrappy Spool blocks that were prepped and got more ready to go. I thought this was going to be a project that I just kept working on over the years, but I think there is a good chance that it will be a finished top by the end of the year.

One of my students received a sewing machine for Christmas. Her mother asked if I would be willing to teach her how to use it. Yes!!! We have been working through the projects that I used when I taught sewing at the library years ago. She is so motivated she goes home and keeps making things. I cannot charge for something I enjoy so much, so they bring me fresh eggs from their chickens or fresh bread made with hand ground wheat. That is a win for me for sure!!!

Not sure what this week will bring. State testing at school and my niece's wedding next weekend. I am taking 1.5 days off immediately after testing to do wedding things. We'll have house guests and family in town, so that is the priority. But I have left myself ready to sew when I get back to it!!
2026 15 Minutes to Stitch
I like the idea of colourful crayons for the RSC. How nice to teach this little student how to sew, and a great trade for eggs and bread. I like the at minutes a day challenge, I gave myself 15 minutes a day a few years ago while going through a very demanding family time, those minutes were my life line.
