Scrappy Wednesday

Because I finished up my plaid projects, I think today will be a good day to play in this newly gifted tote of fabric.  I have several new totes and bags that I picked up last week and yet to look  thru.  This one intriqued me because I spotted MARCUS!  Judy Rothermel and  Howard Marcus - favs.  Some Shelborn Museum collection pieces.  Debbie Beaves and Jinny Beyer for RJR fabrics.  Oh I'm giddy!

I see some Sawtooth Stars and once worked down into smaller pieces, some floating stars.

I forgot to show some pictures from the Button Boats class I taught.

The Cairo Piecemakers guild have a lovely room to use at their local library in Cairo, NY.

I loved Deb's little lamp.  There is very little machine stitching to these cute boats.

Because the Bosal product now comes with two-sided fuseable, you can elliminate two steps (and products needed) in this project, making them much easier and faster to make.

You only need two 10" squares of coordinating fabrics - a scrap project.  You could easily make these in 15 minutes, but we spent a little over an hour.  You can only work as fast as the slowest person in the class.  We also had a couple of machine problems to resolve along the way (see the machine manual out).  And some discussion time was spent over the pressing station as a number of the ladies had never used a fuseable product before.

Some completed the entire project and others decided to do the end finishes at home after we discussed several options for that step.   A nice little project with a super sweet quild.  I enjoyed the evening very much - and I got gifted a bag of scraps by one lovely participant.
