It was a gray day here. Or grey. How do YOU spell that color? Does it matter?
Gray days aren't necessarily bad days. They are good days to stay inside and sew. So that's just what I did when I finally got home from work today. I made my October Bee Blocks.
 |
| The blocks are Whirligig Blocks from a Quilt In A Day pattern |
Yeah, I know it is still September, but the materials arrived and I LOVE making Bee blocks, so I always make them right away. It is a chance to do something new and different without committing to a whole quilt.
I also made this little Gift Card Key Ring.
 |
| I used a ribbon instead of fabric to hold the ring in place. Much easier, but I like the look of fabric better. Live and learn. |
Can you guess what is inside?
 |
| $5 Starbucks Gift Card |
OK, that was easy. But on a gray day, a steaming mug of coffee makes me smile! You know what also makes me smile? Comments from readers! So, leave a comment, and this $5 Starbucks gift card and Gift Card holder could be yours.
To further brighten your day, I'm adding these 4 balls of bright #8 perle cotton to the mix.
 |
| The colors are off - after all, it is a gray day, and hard to photograph accurately indoors - pink, red, orange and purple |
And, if your stash is anything like mine, you probably have little to no gray fabric. When I made that discovery earlier this week, I set off to rectify that with some gray fabric purchases. Little did I know that gray fabric isn't all that common. I have only found two so far that I liked. I bought a yard and a half of each - a yard for me, and half a yard for a reader.
 |
| half yard cuts of a DS gray dot and I don't know much about the other fabric except I thought it was pretty. |
I head out on another work trip tomorrow morning - Little Rock, Arkansas this time - and I'll be back on Tuesday. Leave a comment before I wake up on Tuesday morning, and we'll see who Mr. Random Number Generator chooses to win the coffee card and holder, the 4 balls of perle cotton and the 2 half yard cuts of gray fabric.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
