Whats under my foot
This past week have been making boxes and covering them with fabric. Just like quilting, I cut boxes apart and taped/glued them together in the size I needed. These will fit perfectly in my cubes.
A few weeks ago I told you I was trying my hand at milk paint. Here is the board I painted with my first test batch. The board is rough cut and I didn’t worry about cleaning it before painting. I am very happy with the coverage of just one coat, 2 coats will cover the board completely.
Milk paint reminds me of the coverage from lead paint, if you are old enough to remember what that looks like. With today’s paint I would have needed to apply a base coat of some kind to keep the paint from soaking into the raw wood. Before I paint my knee walls I need to work on the shade of green a bit.
The first block in the Stitch & Bloom is ready, I just need to finish the cover and attach it to the file. You should see it before the end of the week.

Progress on the rainbow quilt from A Scrappy Quilter.
It will be in the 90’s today and 40 tomorrow, so I am loving this block from Gretchen’s Little Corner.

For more inspiration, I invite you to visit the last Put your foot down 326 to see what everyone shared. When you participate in the linky party I ask that somewhere in your post you share a link back to this post. Thank you for joining the linky party!
What a great idea for your boxes!
They are so much fun to make and you get to choose the fabric covering.
