I am getting some of my pillowcases made for Xmas presents I make all our kids, grand kids, nieces and nephews one with their names on them. They told me it was traditions to get one every year. So that is about 15 a year, I try to find fabric that goes with something they have done during the year or a sport they do in school.
When I just want to sew but not think, I have been using scraps to make wonky court house step blocks form Bonnie Hunter's pattern. I have made 32 and have 8 more started. Scraps not disappearing very fast I think I am just fluffy them up. They are fun and easy to make. I need to find some more neutrals for the project I have plenty of other fabrics to last a life time. I know I have some just finding them is the trick.
I sure love my little iron and wool mat for pressing.
Our small quilt group is doing a BOM project which really is 2 seasonal blocks a month. They are so cute most of us are going to finish them to put on a stand.
These are September and October. Paper pieced blocks from scraps from stash and sharing with friends. Ready for the next 2 blocks next Monday night.
off to sew binding.
Happy sitching
