I discovered Kate and Gun’s Scrap Happy Days post through an online friend and decided that it fits in my wheelhouse perfectly! I love playing with my scraps and creating something fun with them. Once a month these bloggers post their scrappy projects so I decided to join in. I had jumped in to doingContinueContinue reading “Scrap Happy Day”

My Day on Show Your Stripes Blog Hop
I had the greatest time deciding on a project for this hop. There were just so many choices. Practicality set in and I chose to make a new bag for my knitting or crocheting. I get frustrated because I’m always having to put everything down if the phone rings or (heaven forbid) laundry needed toContinueContinue reading “My Day on Show Your Stripes Blog Hop”
Wonderful Wednesday
Had some fun today playing with scraps. 😄 I’ve been busy doing some organizing and redrafting patterns. I even drew out a quilting design on a quilt top. It was one of those days I just couldn’t settle to any one project. I think that it must be the start of spring fever. The weatherContinueContinue reading “Wonderful Wednesday”
Scrappy Saturday
We are still suffering from nasty, cold weather here but you wouldn’t know it by the state of my sewing table! This month’s RSC is yellow. It’s not a colour I have a lot of so I pulled my gold and yellow scraps together to see what I could play with. Isn’t that a sunnyContinueContinue reading “Scrappy Saturday”
RSC 2021
So Scrappy This month’s colour is yellow so it was time to pull out some scraps and start having fun. This is as far as I got after finishing a pattern test quilt (secret sewing; can’t share a sneak peek) 😁 and before doing some work on a quilt for my friend in hospital withContinueContinue reading “RSC 2021”
My day on Hearts on Fire Blog Hop
Carol from Just Let Me Quilt is hosting another blog hop with an intriguing theme; hearts but no pink. Right away my mind wandered to a fun fact. Did you know that Hearts on Fire is the brand name for a jewelry company? There diamonds are very pretty and the jewelry settings are pretty unique!ContinueContinue reading “My day on Hearts on Fire Blog Hop”

Weekend Sewing Fun
I’ve been continuing on with cutting the scraps from my bin into the appropriate sizes of squares, strings and HST’s but got a bit sidetracked playing with the scraps so I’m still working on the last 3 baggies. I did get 18 – 32 patch panels done with a few 😉 of my 2 1/2”ContinueContinue reading “Weekend Sewing Fun”
Playing With Scraps
In keeping with my goal to clean out my scrap bins, I cut several stacks of 2 1/2” and 4 1/2” squares with my Accuquilt cutter and dies. I’ve been having issues with the Covid brain fog (or perhaps too much American news on tv?) so haven’t been able to muster the concentration I needContinueContinue reading “Playing With Scraps”
Fabric Fun Times
I decided that since I am trying to clean out my scrap bin I would play a little and use up the orphan blocks I found in the bin as well as some scraps for the RSC. First up was to make an iPad holder using some leftover blocks; No sooner did I have itContinueContinue reading “Fabric Fun Times”

Best of 2020
Cheryl Brickey of Meadow Mist Designs is hosting a linkup for favourite posts of this crazy, year we have experienced. For most of us our time in sewing spaces was increased by the Pandemic we are still experiencing. Along with more time, some of us experienced lack of inspiration and less motivation at times. someContinueContinue reading “Best of 2020”
Finally A Finish 😄
This finish is a real joy to have done. It not only completes a commission, but gets a flimsy off my To Be Quilted/UFO List. I had gone over several patterns and photos of quilts with my customer and his choice was this quilt. This top was a test pattern I did for The QuiltContinueContinue reading “Finally A Finish 😄”

A Finish – Snappy Bags with French Seams
I’ve had a few requests to do a tutorial on how I do French Seams on my scrappy snappy bags. I start by making my panel for the bag. Usually I do a QAYG panel with a normal backing/batting sandwich but recently I was inspired by Gail’s post on her Charm Bag project to useContinueContinue reading “A Finish – Snappy Bags with French Seams”
