A Few Blocks
We only have a few more weeks here at the off-grid cabin in the Yukon. I finished the quilt top I was working on, so now I'm sewing some blocks from leftover pieces that i had cut. These ones will probably turn into a donation quilt at some point.

Quilt Top Is Finished
After much picking out and rearranging, this quilt top is done. I kept finding blocks that I didn't like, so I changed them.
I'll will give it a good press with a steam iron when I get back home. All I have at the cabin is a little travel iron.
Now I have nothing left to sew, maybe I'll make some blocks from odds and ends.

Garage Sale Find
I went to a garage sale recently and found this sewing supply box for five bucks. It comes in handy at the cabin because I don't have
any drawers, shelves or cupboards in my little sewing corner. I had to buy a Rubbermaid bin for the scrap fabric and stash it under the
cabin. Now the area looks a little tidier.
