A journey to the loft

 because of some pink material left over from backing A Stitch for Grace made me think of the pink squares for sun bonnet Sue. And just how long it had been since I made any.

So the pattern, well that was downstairs in an envelope.

Finished Sues had been popped into the loft out of the way at some point and never been un-popped since.

But trips to the loft for one thing don't always result in that thing, or not perhaps in just that thing.

In this instance I did find the Sun Bonnet Sue's (and the pattern which I thought was downstairs and which at some point I must have moved!) and the bag of bits, and totally forgotten about  several pre-cut base squares, so the material I was intending to use is just not needed.

I brought them down.

They were in my bag from the pair of bags an earlier trip to the loft had inspired back in 2020! Funnily enough I had just been wondering what I had done with / used this bag for.

It also contained a previously started as DISTRACTION from sizing up the Sampler Quilt and had then been relegated to "a bag" (anyone else hearing that as the line from The Importance of being Ernest? No? Just me then.) for later action.

And having brought them down, did I immediately make a start on any of them? That would be a no!

They have become another project waiting in a bag and I will need to get skirt bits cut out ready for the next time I have the sewing machine out.

That may be some time as I appear to be in a cross stitch and painting mode at the moment.
