From Quiltville....Bonnie Hunter shares her tips on selecting fabrics for her scrap blocks. I thought she gave a good set of guidelines on using multi-color prints in her post. Be sure to check it out.
Another way to recycle jeans.....make a sewing machine cover. I ran across this here. I thought this would be great to make a cover for the Featherweight machine. No instructions, but it appears that extra fabric was sewn to the waist band to make the top portion.....now to check the old jeans in the closet!
While I do not do paper piecing, this one was just too cute not to share. Sonja has an album with several free patterns available.....check it out here.
I was inspired to turn this into an applique for a mug rug.
Cassie sent me this pin.....she knows I love doodles and zentangles. The Zany Quilter has a good tutorial on creating this "art quilt" that looks like a zentangle. Thanks, Cassie!
Wow....that's enough for this week.
As always, be sure to visit each site thru the links....please pin from the original source, and not from here. Enjoy and happy stitching.
That jeans machine idea is such a cute idea for a traveling sewing machine, the pockets make it perfect. I like you're applique better than the paper piecing, it looks more like a mushroom.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea for the sewing machine cover. Too cute!
