Monday Making

First I wanted to show the finished Broken Dishes mini.  Always amazes me how scraps most would throw out make for such charming little pieces.

I grabbed a shot of the Shoe Fly on the sale rack so it isn't laying flat, but another fun piece from throw aways.

After an exhausting weekend, I need a day to play with more small scraps.  The plan is to work the lozenges section of this Temecula Quilt Co. pattern called 'Summer Scraps'.

The tote of CW skinnies and the larger tote of the bigger scraps of lites to start off with.  Cutting is simple and the piecing can just chain thru the machine without too much thought.  My kind of day!

Feline Friday & Winner

My snoopervisor says my table is too crowded for a good place to nap - "need to make more progess on those projects, Mom".  Also, he reminded me that it is time to announce the winner of the 12 Day of Christmas in July give away.

Such a cool effect of the organza! it really does look like shimmering snow! Love those fabrics and panel...I'm thinking they'd make a great set of holiday placemats.

I will send a private notice for mailing information, but mail out will be on Monday as I am busy.....

 

Scrappy Wednesday

This is the back of the Wild & Goosey miniature.  I'm very set in making those seams press nice and flat - pressing the back first and then flipping to finish with the front.

Scrap bits of black for sashing and cut down a 5" square for the tiny corner stones.  A FQ pulled from a tote for backing and the binding  is from the leftover drawer.  These little blocks that lanquished who knows how long in a little container our now in a happier place.

Then it was the hour-glass blocks turn.  Something simple, yet classy.

There's that pretty back!

The binding needs stitching down and label added, but well on it's way to a quick finish.  I'll add a few old shirt buttons down that light panel for a little fun.

I started on the Shoe Fly blocks, but didn't like where I was going, so that will be de-stitched with a new play date.

So I pulled this old salad container that is holding a few different blocks - only 4 Snow Balls, 40 Bow Ties, and 40 red 9-patches.  I'll just cut the Snow Balls down to squares for the barrel system and then play with the Bow-Ties.

Today is the last day for the 12 Days of Christmas in July and don't forget to visit CAROL'S Christmas Hop.

We are on flash flood watch with the Valley Dam full to capacity and many of the streams and creeks to the banks.  Predicting three more days of heavy rains, so there is sure to be some evacuations and I hope nothing too severe in damages.  I was suppose to vend locally this weekend, but that could change under the circumstances.

Stay safe and stitch on,

Monday Making

It feels good to get back in the groove and I pulled a small container to play along with BETH.

 

I will use these to make three miniatures.  I need one more Shoe Fly block with that set.  Something to add to the broken dishes.  And there are enough Wild & Goosey blocks (some needing wings) for a cute mini.

Since the W &G's needed the most work to complete, I started on those first.  Now to sash, border and onto a finish.

The best thing - an empty container!

Sewingly Yours,
