I’m not really sure where I’m going with this. I’ve been saving solid neutral pieces for a while and wanted to use them in some way with various bigger scraps. I like how it’s looking though! My daughter thinks it looks like the movie Inside...

Teeny tiny scraps

Sometimes I just get a hankering to pull out my itsy bitsy scrap pieces and see what I can do with them.  This is what got started from my yellow bin. I then went on to pull out more.  Each colored piece is about 4 1/2 inches across and the strips prior to sewing are...
Long weekends….

Long weekends….

How I love a long weekend! I had a wonderful, restful and reflective time with my family and alone as well. And part of that time involved  finishing two quilt tops I’ve been planning for a  long time. This one uses 36 different “made fabric” blocks...

Quilted Gift Bags

Quilted Gift Bags

I spent the weekend whipping up these fun little bags and really got the factory assembly rolling! Almost all of these were quilt-as-you-go test blocks or pieces that I’ve had hanging around (in some cases for years!) and had stored away. I have a team of very...
