Greetings from someone who has been away from the blogosphere for a little bit.

It’s the 15th of the month and I am part of the monthly ScrapHappy posting group hosted by Kate of Tall Tales From Chiconia.

This month I have little to report as I’ve been hosting out of town visitors; and traveling (3 trips in the past month) including a big emotional return to Bend, Oregon for my birthday in May. It was my for first time in 7 years since I moved to Denver after my husband suddenly died in 2019. I’ll blog about that return sometime in the future.

Following up on my May 2026 ScrapHappy post ScrapHappy May 2026 – Moving Along on the EPP Quilt , I did over the past month complete sewing together 6 more English Paper Piecing (EPP) rosettes.

Yes, that’s it for the past month since the May 15th post!

But I do have a couple random curious things to share to conclude this post.

Granny Square Shoes?

If you’ve followed my blog for a while you might note my obsession for crocheting granny square blankets like this one I completed in 2025:

During my recent travels I came across a pair of granny square shoes!!!! They weren’t in my shoe size and they actually did not look that well made but they were fun to look at!

Everybody Needs a Pair of Quilted Shorts…

I am a quilter and during my recent travels I came across a pair of quilted shorts that gave me a giggle too!

I think an old quilt was turned into clothing. I would suggest this a curious fashion choice, but no judgement if you need a pair of vintage quilt shorts to wear!

I bet the original quilt is “scrap happy” and was made from someone’s fabric scrap basket so these shorts might also count for ScrapHappy June 🙂

An Amazing Thought/Concept

I came across this sign in my travels and I think it is an amazing thought/concept to close this post.
