..... of fabric, of course
First was this for a friend's birthday ....a mug rug, pot holder.....however she wants to use it....made from the trimmings from the latest F2F blocks I made for Claire. It's around 7 inches square.
And this one wonky star for green month at So Scrappy. I cheated a bit....I had this lot cut out ready to sew last year when I was making rainbow stars. Putting my house on the market and getting ready to move meant it was packed away and forgotten but found this week while looking for something else!
Both were made from scraps, so I'm linking up with Kate and Gun For ScrapHappy May and with Angela for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Lots of bloggers doing amazing things with scraps.
* Edited to add linking up with Cynthia at Oh Scrap! as well......even more scrappy fun!
till next time....
You're right about the amazingness; I'm amazed that you can sew at all with everything going on at your place, but the lovely stuff keeps appearing. Also amazing is Gun's finished scrap quilt, absolutely, totally stunning. All those little tiny snippets and scraps...
ReplyDeleteI saw Gun's quilt, wonderful scrappiness. My sewing room is my haven from all the craziness of men with big boots tromping through :)
DeleteI love the pot holder / mug rug and the star.
ReplyDeleteThanks nanacathy, it's a good feeling to be able to use all those little bits that might otherwise get thrown away.
DeleteWhat a fortuitous find! Lovely little mug rug too. Claire's color choices made me feel warm just looking at them.
ReplyDeleteYes, amazing what you find when you get around to unpacking.....just have to find the rest of the blocks now, then I can put the quilt together. Claire chose lovely rich colours.
ReplyDeleteGreat Scrappyness. Happy stitching, Glad the men came even if you went down to the river.
ReplyDeleteOh true, always a good thing when the tradies turn up, even if they're noisy and intrusive. And a good reason to head outdoors.
ReplyDeleteI love the wonky star especially it's given me some ideas ;)
ReplyDeleteWonky stars are so quick and easy to make, good way to use scraps and you can do them any size. Look forward to seeing what you do with the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI love finding treasures in my sewing room that work in New projects. Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to find another place to play with scrap projects. Thanks for popping in Cynthia.
DeleteLove those blocks Nanette!
