Welcome to Needle and Thread Thursday, y'all! I cannot tell you how excited I am to share this finished quilt top with you today. After all these weeks of scrappy improv sewing, it feels so good to finally see my vision turned into a reality.

Time to Cut Them Up! and NTT
Hey y'all! Welcome to Needle and Thread Thursday. This week, I sewed, and sewed, and sewed some more, and finally finished up all of my neutral scraps. With the full rainbow and neutrals finished, it's time to cut up these panels and work on making my vision for them come to life.

A Screeching Halt and NTT
Welcome to Needle and Thread Thursday, y'all. I'm so sorry I missed last week without so much as a quick post letting you know why the party wasn't up. The reason can be summed up in a single word- Covid. Despite vaccinations, boosters, and our family's ability to evade the virus for more than two years, last Tuesday evening it hit all three of us- me the hardest, and our lives came to a screeching halt. I'm grateful for my "mild" case, though it still came with a high fever, chills, body aches, overwhelming fatigue, loss of taste, and of course, cough and congestion. It took several days for the worst of the symptoms to start getting better, and a full week to feel almost back to normal. Thankfully, we're all pretty good now. My husband and son went back to work today, and I finally got back into my studio yesterday.
These neutral scraps have been sitting on my table waiting to be pieced for so long, and though these three panels have made a good dent in the pile, I'm nowhere near finished with them. So, I'll just keep sewing a little bit here and there until they're all done.
In the meantime, let's take a look at a few of the amazing projects linked up at our last party. This happy quilt is by Something Rosemade-

A Full Rainbow and NTT
Happy Needle and Thread Thursday, y'all! I hope all of you in the US had a great 4th of July holiday, and thank you to everyone who sent their well wishes while I was under the weather. Thankfully, I'm almost back to normal. If I could just get rid of the stopped up feeling in my ears, I'd be in business.
This week, I finished up my purples and got a full rainbow laid out on my wall. This isn't how the quilt will look at all, but a complete color wheel never fails to put a smile on my face!

NTT- Purples in Progress

NTT- No Purples Yet
Hey there, y'all! Welcome to Needle and Thread Thursday. I have made zero sewing progress on my scrap project this week. Between birthday activities that spilled over into the weekend and vacation prep, my dance card has been full. NTT will be taking a break next week while I'm gone, and I'll tackle those purple scraps when I get back!
At last week's party, there were lots of great quilts linked up. These two are by Quilting Gail-
You know I'm going to be browsing through your links while I'm on vacation, and I can't wait to see them. So, let's get this party started!

NTT- Another Week, Another Color On the Wall
Happy Needle and Thread Thursday, y'all! It's birthday week around here, so there have been lots of fun things going on. I turned 45 yesterday, and today is our son's 18th birthday! It really is shocking how quickly the years go by. It was a low-key day with plenty of time spent with my very favorite people, and I couldn't have asked for anything more.
I've also made some progress with my scrap project this week. I finished out my aquas/teals, and as I suspected, it is by far my most plentiful color. Then I moved onto the true blues. I didn't have a ton of those, so I knocked them out pretty quickly. Purples are next on the agenda, once all of the birthday activities are all finished of course!
