Today is the fourth Saturday of July of the color purple!
I did get a little discombobulated this month will all the happenings around Bell Creek Quilts. Everything seems mixed up and topsy-turvy.
Today I am sharing the rest of my purple sewing for the month. My first share is the 2025 Stash Buster Challenge block.
I now have eight blocks. To make a bigger quilt, I will need more blocks (thank you, Einstein!) or possible separate the blocks into two groups to make two baby quilts. I'm not sure what I will do but I am leaning towards two baby quilts.

My second share is for the Table Scraps challenge. July's prompt was English Country Garden/ full bloom.
I was on Mackinac Island on July 1st and did find one lilac that still has a few blooms! I didn't take of picture of that bush but here is one from the Island archives. That's the Grand Hotel in the fuzzy background!
I had this big bag I made many years ago and never used.
So...I cut it up and made two placemats for Meals on Wheels this month. Looking back...if I would have cut in the other direction, I think I might have gotten four place mats. In any event, I saved the extras and maybe I'll make a zippered pouch. :)

I love your star block, Pat! So fun to see all of them together. And what a great way to reuse the fabric from the bag into placemats, too. Perfect lilac colors!
The star blocks are so pretty! Love that purple one especially. Those placemats worked out very nicely. What size do you make your placemats?
Nice work to get in the purple blocks and projects!
You are so clever to repurpose that unused quilted bag into placemats. They turned out so cute! That is quite a striking star block, too. Great eye candy!
grand idea to make placemats from an unused bag. I cut up a quilt I didn't like into sections I did like, to make the mug rug I have by the computer now! So much better than the old project.
Ooooo I always wanted to visit Macanac Island and your photo is be-utiful. LeeAnna
I'm in love with the Stash Buster blocks (still). They look so lovely. And you are genius to re-purpose that bag. Scrap Queen!
I'm sad you didn't get a chance to use your pretty purse but I'm happy you were able to turn it into something someone can use. Bravo!
