One of the perks of having
a shop on Main Street is that every time there is a parade in town, I have a front row seat. This morning, the students at Washington & Lee put on a parade as part of their
Mock Convention. I arrived early, moved some merchandise out of the window, and pulled a seat up to my treadle machine to sew while I watched.

The parade was fun, but entirely too short. When it was over, I didn't feel like doing shopkeeper things like pricing new yarn and placing orders, so I declared it a "sew day" and continued working on my
Fading Charms quilt that I am making completely on my treadle from 2" squares.

Tomorrow, I should really work while at work, but we'll see - I may be in the window treadling away the day again.

What a terrific spot for sewing!
Maybe my two-inch squares should have gone into a project like yours. The nine-patch is not using them fast enough. Watching a parade is as good an excuse as any.
Great way to 'show off' the store, while also making something pretty. Keep on treadling!
What a fun way to work and the quilt is coming along great! I'm really feeling inspired by you to cut up my scraps and actually make scrap quilts. I've finished 3 so far this year and cut up even more scraps.
What a great way to spend the day! I love how you are using your scraps. Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!
