waste not, want not- the story of crumbs...

my favorite blogs to follow and check in on every day are the ones that write every day. obviously, i'm not one of those. i do lots of sewing for RSC and other stuff in the background, but it seems that blogging has become a dreaded chore...


anyway- i'm here today to share lots of pictures and projects!


i've been making crumb blocks for pretty much each RSC year- beginning in 2015 i think..


i usually need some mindless sewing to do in the evenings... and i've built up quite a collection of crumb blocks over the last few years...


while down in Baltimore this Christmas time visitng my son and his family, i picked up a few pillow forms at IKEA, planning on making some covers for pillows on the living room sofa. 


it took a pandemic to finally make that happen! yikes!


and in no other particular order, some more crumb blocks.


many more are sewn that are not pictured...


i did get a little out of whack with the colors, but i'm roughly sticking to the RSC color of the month...


thanks for stopping by!


lots more blocks and bloggers to visit- click here. 


more posts and pictures coming !

I just love crumb blocks. They are so versatile. Your pillows look great. About four years ago I bought a bunch of muslin and was going to make my own pillow forms and stuff with leftover small batting pieces. Not even the pandemic has gotten me to make those pillow forms.

Sorry to read that blogging has become a dreaded chore for you, as you say. You have been so busy sewing and stitching that I guess blogging gets put on the back burner. Stay well, and keep stitching!

Why not challenge yourself to post just once a week? That way you don't fall totally out of the habit but you are not committed to daily entries. And if that's too much, then go with twice a month - blogging is still the best way to share our stories with long distance kindred spirits.

Thanks for showing your crumb blocks! I really love how they look, and I love making them, too. Your pillows are terrific!

Three blog posts in one day! When it rains, it pours.... or is that when it snows? Anyway, great crumb blocks and pillows! You always have some of the coolest ideas! Xo
