The Loot and The Plans....

this is the box of scraps that I brought home on Friday. It's many, many more than the
appearance indicates. They are fairly small pieces,
stacked fairly dense. Needless to say,Finn is as happy as a cat in a sawdust pile *VBG*
Here are 3 specific blocks that I will be cutting for:


This block is called Depression block. It's from Quilter Cache(http://quilterscache.com/). I made a few last April and knew it would be ongoing project. The second one is the "Whatever" block from Linda J's blog (http://catsnqlts2.blotspot.com/) I began my set of blocks with kids prints.
The third block is one that I had seen at Quiltville(I think). A simple block, made with HST's and a couple of squares. It's almost a Hovering Hawk, but not quite. I really like it for whatever reason, and
be making a whole quilt of them...*VBS* What I will be cutting is 2.5" squares, 2.5" X ? rectangles(lights only) and some 3" squares to be split to make triangles. I also will cut 4" squares to make triangles for the Depression blocks. I'd like to handle each of these scraps just once, so it's good to know what I am cutting for. Beyond that, I'll cut what is left "size appropiate" for other quilts from Quiltville( in progress). Including the very scrappy "everything goes" broken dishes. Those need a 6" square. I didn't get all my chores done yesterday, nor all the errands run. Sooooo today will hold some of "those" things, and if I get at them I just may be able to sew this afternoon.
I went to friend Jean's house last evening. We had supper and then I wrapped meat as she cut up the 2 deer her son had shot. I've never been involved in "processing" a deer. Can't say I mind having missed out on that...LOL, but, in friendship we often do things we don't know much about, and are richer for the time and the experience. We worked from 6 p.m. until 11 p.m. The last packages were wrapped and in the freezer. The loose meat will go for processing into hamburger tomorrow, and as time allows, Jean will cut up the de-boned larger chunks into strips for jerky.
I do have to say, I really dreaded going and helping, but I had offered. So I went, knowing the blood wouldn't bother me, but the "smells" would. It was ok... she deliberately turned off the heat, so the kitchen was cool, and that helped at many levels, including smell.
And so, as of today, I can add "Deer Camp Experience" to my list of accomplishments.
