Scraps Away

This was started on dark and stormy night about a year ago. An assortment of 2.5" squares.  I tried to keep it bright and cheerful,  not many browns, or greys. An assortment of freehand motifs in the light squares.  It measures 60 x 80 inches.



 There was fabric vomit on the back of one of the neutral squares. Something I discovered late...after the binding was on. Also, by then, the long arm had another quilt on it. I did a little domestic sewing maching finishing.

 Happy Quilting,
Gudrun

I made two.

Happy Monday,

It has been a great day so far.  I have been having technical difficulties with Volkswagen, to finalize the return of my diesel VW.  I feel so much better.  I have choosen a new car and the turn over takes place in a couple weeks with time and place booked.

Now to quilting,  I mde a very scrappy large quilt out of 4 inch squares ( I have a good size box of these.)  I got such rave reviews I made another one.

If your wondering....I have lots of 4 inch squares left.

A case for scraps.

The scraps and trimmings on the left, came from a  recent Guild work day. The small purple cushion cover arrived from I don't know where, the idea for this came from the chatter on the work day.

Sew, put the scraps in the cushion cover in such a fashion that they are flat enough to stitch a few
rows to hold it all down and there it is....a mat for the cat. This one has a zipper and
I put some cat nip in it. And to make it a big hit I put some cat nip on it as well :))

Lulu likes it.
Happy Tuesday,

Cat Quilt

Oh  my yes a rainy day,  two postings and another cat quilt!  This piece started out as
 a set of place mats using the bits & pieces of 'cat fabric'.
 I was scrap busting! Then along came a yard sale where several more pieces
of cat fabric jumped into my arms.

This is called 'Ode to Cats'.  I have yet to add some more to the cat silhouettes,

what more I have yet to decide.
 Recently, I was chatting about how quilts look when the sun is shining

 through them.  I love what happens. The quilting is not noticeable on most of the front,
 but on a plain portion of the back, the outline quilting shows up very nicely. This scrap
quilt took much longer then I thought it should but as I had no plan....just kept sewing, cuttingsewingcutting, and then I stopped. It needs a label. It's for sale.
Happy Wednesday,
