Scrappy Wednesday
In trying to clear things out and reorganize as I work thru things, I found a bag with these different components. I thought I had finished all these up! These are step outs that I used for teaching a quilter's project bag a couple of years ago. There are two bags here in different steps and pieces. So I hope to get these quickly finished up and moved on out.
Then I'll move on to completing step three of the Temecula Quilt Co mystery. There were questions on the accurate size/cuttings, but that has been cleared up - so on to work.

Pick A Pumpkin Hop
I would like to thank CARLA for organizing this fun Hop and I hope you are enjoying some wonderful inspiration from these very talented people. Today's hosts are:
I don't do a lot of seasonal projects, but I backtracked thru some of my prior years' posts to find a few items.
I used my TUTORIAL FOUND HERE to make a wicked tissue cover.
"Barbed Wire" was one of my Let's Book It projects years ago.
I haven't done much cross stitching this year, but this project made for a lovely seasonal gift a few years ago.
Another Let's Book It project where I changed up a table runner pattern into a wallhanging. Let's Book It was a program I hosted 2014-16 to challenge quilters to pull out those many books, patterns, and magazines we collect - AND use them.
For this hop I relied on my usual - use up the scraps - mode to challenge myself. This left over bit of what appeared to be a cut off from someone else's project was my inspiration. I got the seam ripper out and took those scraps apart.
I used the Raven pattern from Regina Grewe's free pattern listing. I've made this before many years ago, so it was fun to revisit him. I used every bit of that lite background - even having to piece in a section so I had enough.
The other bits that were used came from my tote of strings and left over binding was just enough. That pumpkin/raven print was perfect for a border on this little piece that finished at 9.5" square - I got my miniature on!
Please be sure to visit the other hosts today and share some love with Carla as well. Thank you for stopping by,
Sewingly Yours,

Monday Making
I made two more one-hour baskets. My daughter saw the others and asked if I had a blue or gray - no. So I had to make them and she can pick the one she likes. She wants to use it to tuck a lot of baby items in for a shower gift.
While I am waiting for a follow-up visit with a commission customer, I am going to start my Kaffe quilt. Love this collection and using a white-on-white Sketch for the background - more texture fun.
