Palette and Scrap Bag Leftovers

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you. 

This is the principle difference between a dog and a man.

~Mark Twain

Quilting

This quilt began with leftovers from the Palette prompt. I added more of the brighter strips from my scrap bag. I am determined to empty that bag... again. How does it refill so quickly?

Now to sew the blocks together and quilt it.

The last few weeks have been focused on sorting the kitchen drawers. Many gadgets were tossed... after putting them in time out for a few months to decide if they'd be missed. I measured and photographed drawers, dumped all the gadgets in a bag, and headed out.

The first drawer was easy since the utensils were already separated. They just need dividers. 

The next two drawers were a bit more difficult. These are they after much culling. So many medium-sized tools.

Drawers before

The store has planning shelves like rotary mats where measurements are marked. Arranging the boxes and checking that the tools would fit inside was easy then. 

Drawers after

More drawers remain but I want to see how this works first. And, yes, I discarded one of those scissors. 

Reading

Nann beat me to this book which I've had on hold several months. Elizabeth Zott's chemistry career detours when she starts hosting a TV cooking show. Despite advice/orders from the producers, she does it her way. 

This is Bonnie Garmus' debut novel but I can't wait to read more from her.

Enjoy the day, Ann
