Late post for Scrap Happy Day - sorry!
Lots of travel this year has meant that I've spent little time in the sewing room for a few months. I did spend the equivalent of one day doing some scrap sewing during July. It was just to get some mindless sewing time in without having to think about what I was doing.
So a few blocks made using either 1 1/2" squares in a 16 patch block or 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" rectangles for a potato chip block. I already have lots of these blocks in a box and have now added heaps more to the collection. Although I've had a few ideas for quilts using them, I will have to do some more planning so I can work out what size quilt/s I want and how many blocks I will need.
ScrapHappy is open to anyone using up scraps of anything – no new materials. It can be a quilt block, pincushion, bag or hat, socks or a sculpture. Anything made of genuine scraps is eligible (including food). If your scrap collection is out of control and you’d like to turn them into something beautiful or useful instead of leaving them to collect dust in the cupboard, why not join us on the 15th of each month? Contact Kate on katechiconi@gmail.com and she'll add you to the list. We welcome new members. You don’t have to worry about making a long term commitment or even join in every month. Regular contributors will receive an email reminder three days before the event.
Here are the links for everyone who joins ScrapHappy from time to time (they may not post every time, but their blogs are still worth looking at).
