If I do a sampler quilt for DGD, as my thought is now, it's possible to make a block as inspiration strikes rather than it being a full-time endeavor. And, as a bonus, I could use multi purples rather than being limited to a few; and the off-white background fabric could also have variety.

Because I'd like to draft that simple block before cutting -- to check proportions -- I intended to pick up a newsprint pad at Michaels today. It's been years since I last bought one -- talk about sticker shock!! Somewhere among all my "stuff" there has to be some newsprint I can use. Ages ago one could call the local newspaper & pick up an "end roll" (like the end of a bolt of fabric) for $3.00.
Have been working on scrapbook pages. There are quite a few that need only the journaling and/or titles so those are the ones I'm finishing up. Want to have a number of "page kits" made up for an October Crop.
Reading "Miss Zukas and the Island Murders" by Jo Dereske. I like Helma and her sidekick Ruth; it's an enjoyable cozy mystery series.
