Red is the colour selected for March for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I had a few simple blocks to make - the same block in two sizes, so that didn't take too long at all. The baby blocks were first, and I wanted to keep it soft, no bright, glaring red, I decided. So I chose a pink and red print to keep the look I was after.

The dinosaurs were next, and I used a bright red solid for these ones. Another donation quilt, I'm sure some young boy will love snuggling up with the dinosaurs.

I have a couple of red draw string children's bags to stitch for RSC, hopefully I'll do them next week. Then I want to get on with my own stitching, as well as the monthly Chook Shed Challenge - there is always plenty to keep me busy.
There was an E-Waste collection today, I discovered early in the week so I have been gathering up items to dispose of. Such as a lap top computer, a tablet, and three old cell phones. Plus a whole lot of computer cords and things which have been lying around in cabinets and drawers. The local Lions Club organised the day, and for a small fee took these things off my hands. They go to be recycled safely, and the Lions get some funds for their continuing good deeds.

Gemma often likes to hide out in the cubby hole on her tower, but yesterday hopped right up on top, surveying her kingdom. She is very sure that she rules the house!

Of course, Gemma is the queen in her kingdom, or should I say queendom?
Glad to hear you had a good trip. It’s always good to get home and back to regular routines. Great RSC blocks.
Great to get your RSC blocks all done.
What a good idea for the Lions to collect the old e waste.
Hi Gemma!
Great choices for those donation quilt blocks, Jenny. Always nice to support
the Lions group...hugs, Julierose
we have the Lions Club here too - I don't know what they do though, I haven't heard of collecting for recycle with their group. I'm sure they all do different things.
Those are sweet blocks, Jenny! I like the pink with red mixed in for the baby quilt. The e-waste collection sounds like a great idea - I wish someone would do that where we live!
The lions do great helpful things. Wish we had a collection.
I love the idea of the E-Waste drive, I've not heard of one in our area, but would certainly use it if they had one. I'll be looking forward to seeing your finished quilts for donation. Have a sweet day, my friend 🤗
Lovely blocks using red, Jenny. I wish we had the e-waste collection here.
God bless.
The dinosaurs are such fun. As far as I know, there is no e-waste collection here. We have way too much to get rid of. Cute Gemma! Our cat believes he's the KING in the house!
The reds are always fun.
Great idea with the recycling.
That is a gorgeous photo of Gemma.
Great recycling. The red goes perfectly with the black and white dinosaurs blocks xx
Your blocks are so lovely, Jenny. I had to smile when I saw the dinosaur fabrics. My nephew loves dinosaurs. LOL. How wonderful to have a recycling collection to take part in. Give Gemma a pat on the head for me. She is a doll. Have a great week. Hugs.
Great RSC blocks which will result in two very different quilts. The e waste collection is a great initiative for something that is so hard to dispose of responsibly.
Cute little RSC blocks Jenny, I can see that they will become part of some lovely quilts. E-waste recycling is something I need to look into here- we also have a growing collection of discarded cords and e-things.
