Monday Randomness

The randomness is piling up, so I figured I might as well share it while I've got it. First off, I noticed someone mentioned 'Explore' on one of my flickr photos over the weekend, and it was only then that I thought to look at my current 'explored' status. Lo and behold, I found several I hadn't known about. Here's my current Scout poster:

1. finished Mod Pop top, 2. Weekenders waiting for the flight home, 3. Stargazing block - August, 4. Triple-Zip Pouch, 5. Just Passing Through, 6. The Stars of Summer, 7. Orchard Path Tweed Pouch, 8. Logo Card Holder, 9. FTLOS2 large project done!, 10. Quilting Indeed, 11. A Sneaky Peek, 12. 5 little x and + blocks now . . ., 13. Another Solstice Star, 14. Japanese x and + block, 15. Scrappy Modern Halves quilt complete, 16. Modern Halves top complete, 17. "Tangerisk" for Tangerine Tango Challenge, 18. sneak peek, 19. Scrappy Super Swoon, 20. Completed Swoon Quilt!, 21. Dead Simple Quilt, 22. Kaleidoscope complete!, 23. Kaleidoscope complete!, 24. Mini-Swoon II, 25. Mini Swoon, 26. Supernova!, 27. Supernova top complete!

To make your own, go to Big Huge Labs, and scroll down till you see 'Scout' on the right-hand side. Click there and all you have to do is enter your Flickr ID. You can also go to flicker-explorer.com and enter your ID, though the two don't always give the same info. I find Scout more all-encompassing. Anyway . . . interesting.

I also saw that Giveaway Day has been announced! More info will be coming, but it's a great day to interact with other bloggers by giving away something handmade or sewing/craft supplies on your blog. If you can join in at all, do!

Jennifer has finished a few of the Hurricane Sandy Help! quilts! So far this is my fav!

 

And lastly, though I had intended to have some Mod Pop quilting to show off today, unfortunately I can only show you the backing I've chosen (V and Co. Simply Color Ikat Diamonds in Eggplant) . . .

because I spent most of my free-sewing time this weekend organizing my stash closet.

But since it now looks like this, I'm ok with the slow-go on the quilting.

Though I really need to get over the dreaded piecing-the-backing and basting steps . . . then I'll be on my way again!
