Yellow Stitching for RSC

Another month has rolled by, which  means another colour to use for my Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) blocks.  My Little Bricks were done first.  I’m making two versions of this.  Zig Zag blocks stitched in a row, then the original Little Bricks pattern, both versions very simple to make.  Not many big pieces of yellows in my stash, but I found enough small pieces of different yellows to make my blocks

Happy Blocks were next, and they do certainly look bright and happy sporting their sunny yellow hues.  I found three boy themed squares to use, some more of those circus type animals, a caravan camping in the great outdoors, (bordered with cream, but that’s close enough for me) and a red and yellow airplane.

Happy Blocks for a little boy

It’s always easier to find many more charm squares suitable for a girl, than for a boy.  There are always plenty of flowers, and I also found irons for those laundry days, and some rather orange lady bugs on a yellow background.

So that’s my RSC sewing so far, although I do have blocks to make for another RSC project.  I plan to do these later in the week.

Have you ever received one of those mystery parcels which you just keep unwrapping to find yet another parcel, and another, and many more inside?  That happened to us last week when we were away at a caravan rally.  Our friends Helen and Owen handed us a rather large parcel wrapped in gift paper, to open at our leisure.  We put it aside for a while as we were off to Happy Hour with the group.  Back in the van we removed the gift paper and opened the large carton.  Inside was another carton, and about eight more, all sealed up tight and getting progressively smaller.  Finally, inside a black plastic box, we reached the end.  It was a name badge for each of us, stating that we had reached the total of 400 rallies!

All these boxes for the tiny name badges

Helen and Owen had recently achieved 100 rallies with our club and purchased new badges for themselves showing that they had reached this milestone.  Then they decided that our 400 rallies needed recognition too so kindly gifted us these badges.  So kind of them.
