Welcome to Thankful Thursday 

Today I am Thankful for some "down time". I know your thinking What? I have been very busy this spring and summer with birds, garden, grass ect. ect....

Well at the beginning of the week it started out o.k. but then the weather turned really hot. So...... I have taken a break from being outside this week. But in my "down time" I did get to sew! Yeah for sewing!

Which brings us to.

I have finished the second scrap quilt to give to the youngest little boy of the foster children my sister in law and brother in law have.

He asked me when I gave his big brother his quilt if he would get one. I told him of course! Then he wanted to know if it would be just like his brothers. I said well not exactly but very close.

I still did this quilt with the scraps and in the jelly roll race style.

Please forgive the strings and lint I was finishing it this afternoon and it took me a little longer than I thought and I wanted to get this post written.

I had to piece the back. I really don't know why. I had the same amount of fabric that I did for the other quilt .(3 yards) The only thing different is the fabric was in two different cuts a one yard cut and a 2 yard cut. I kind of like it pieced.

Here is the pillowcase that goes with this one. 

So now I guess you really want to know if I really am giving away another set of scraps, thread and needles?! Well yeah I am!! Here they are:

This time the thread is blue but hey I like it.

See how cool this is!!! I am kinda jealous I don't get to keep the blue one. 

Don't forget if you don't win you can get a deal on a spool of this NiteLite at Superior Threads right HERE

Don't forget if you buy the NiteLite thread you need to use the Needles 90-14

Before I leave I just wanted to let you see a little of what I plan to work on.

First I am going to "try" to make myself a dress. Um.....most of you know I don't garment sew! Ever! But Laura over at Sewing Mom Podcast talks about all the clothes she makes for herself and her kids and now even her grandchild. So my mom (who started out garment sewing) before she started quilting (then got me into quilting) helped me pick all this out! She says you can do it. We shall see!

But before I do that I need to do this:

This is a panel that I plan on cutting up and make a quilt for my niece who is due to have her second child (not sure gender) in October.

Also something Laura talked about on her podcast...um I can't remember what episode (Sorry Laura) Organizing my patterns and storing them. I have started buying a lot of PDF downloads. I'm a "I can't wait" kinda gal! So I needed to take them out of the drawer I was putting them in and get them put together so I could not only find them but use them!   

They even fit perfect in the box I already had some of my patterns in.

Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog.
