See yesterday’s post Scrap Happy Retreat Day 1 for background and scenes from Day 1.
By Day 2 of the Scrap Happy Quilt Retreat at my house, Mike the Miniature Schnauzer was getting plenty of pets from visiting quilters (who are lounging about in their pajamas before breakfast):
John made us his famous (and amazing) biscuits & gravy breakfast to start our day:
The breakfast includes his sausage patties with caramelized brown sugar (not vegan, ha!) and flaky scratch made biscuits.
After breakfast it was back to work in the studio. I worked on my log cabin blocks – I decided to use brown, brownish-orange, copper and gold fabrics for my blocks:
K and D worked on their blocks and began trying out solid fabric settings for their sample blocks:
K decided to set her blocks in the blue Peppered Cotton and D (after trying out 4 different options) went with the gray Peppered Cotton.
My whole studio looked like there had been a fabric scrap explosion – scraps everywhere!
Before you knew it, it was afternoon cocktail time again and John stopped by the studio with Mojitos and Moscow Mules.
I enjoyed putting my trimming scraps in the amazing handmade custom scrap basket that D made me (her own design, no pattern used!) with Marcia Derse fabric (my favorite):
The tierneycreates Beastie helped me piece some blocks using her Beastnina:
After a long day of piecing, we enjoyed a “Make Your Own Pizza Night” provided by John who had pre-baked small pizza crusts for us.
We took our baked pizzas to the basement for another movie night to end Day 2 of the retreat!

We were all torn on what color of the Peppered Cottons she should use but then when she decided on the grey we knew she had made the right choice!

Oh my. It all looks absolutely fabulous. An explosion of scraps, good home-made food, and cocktails — what more could a girl want?!
I love the container your friend made for you. I think you need to officially adopt the title “Queen of Scraps”. Perhaps you should make yourself a crown with scraps?!! (ha ha)

It was quite fun! I was blown away with the sweet container and it was hard using it for little scraps and threads – it seemed too nice!
A crown of scraps – ha! 🙂
