CLEANED THE PANTRY

 Since we moved into this house the upper part of the pantry has been a mess.  I had put all of the containers which held various flours I used for making bread up there and have ignored them since.

I don't make bread anymore since we both went gluten-free.  So most everything was expired and just taking up space.

I took it all out of the pantry and tossed the expired stuff, which had been stored in Tupperware.  I don't like the idea of storing things in plastic anymore, so it all has to go.  I washed all of it and will donate it to Goodwill or somewhere.

There was some things stored in glass jars, my preferred method of storage.  I emptied those and washed them out too.

STITCH BOOK PAGES

 I got the 24 100 Day Stitch Book pages sewn together in groups of four. They are ready to stitch together.




FINISHED WITH GRACE

 I got back to work on my block for the BP Sewcial Collab 2026 today and finished it.

First I made the next two letters and sewed them to the others and squared it to 18".


The cut 4-1/2" one way:


Then cut those strips into 4-1/2" blocks.


Then I moved them around, turning and trying different combos until I was happy with the design, and sewed them together.

The pages are now ready to sew together.
