Time for sewing

 

Finally had some time to be at the sewing machine. 

Some extra day's off from work did wonders and felt great.

 

I needed two more gifts for Christmas, and made two small table mats.

Do to a mistake of sewing the pieces  wrong together I received a total different look.

But what can I say " a Happy accident " I liked what came out of it. 

 

 

 

Than I accumulated so much  leftover pieces from the fleece I used for the Quilt backings

And thought I could make some Dog toys for Lisa and her friends for Christmas.

 

 

They all enjoyed there new bones. Lisa's is still alive - what a surprise - the little

Terminator usually kills every toy in minutes.

Than I had a bag of scrap strips given to me for a donation quilt. 

 

When life gives you scraps make a quilt, right?

 

I remembered a Quilt from a older Magazine, America loves Scrap Quilts 2010

The Quilt is called Plenty of  Pomegranates. Just perfect for those strip scraps.

Plus I could try and use my new glue stick from Sew Line I got from my trip to Veldhoven.

The stick worked perfect, no more pinning. I had so much fun, the blocks went together quickly.

I have to remember to get refills for that stick. Its well worth every penny it cost.

That's how far I got. I will keep you posted on the process.

 

You all have a wonderful weekend.

It feels wonderful to be back sewing.

 

Lots of quilting hugs

Scrap Quilt for the Kellerquilter

Once again the Lady's from the Kellerquilter asked for help making Quilts.

Well so I looked into my scrap bins and pulled out some blocks I made in the very beginning of my patchwork day's and added a few more blocks to come up with this quilt you see here. I used some very soft backing almost like a minkee so the recipient will be able to snuggle up.

And here is another donation Quilt I made for my MIL's niece. She makes Quilts for a rehab place she works for in Santa Barbara. Every year at Christmas the patients get a Quilt. I think this is so awesome. So I made this one for her. My husband call's this one psychedelic. I think its a good name for it.

I should have used some  black for the blocks like I did in the border, oh well there is always next time.
