Scrap Happy Day - June 2026

Lots of scrap sewing done in this last month.  When I have the urge to sew but don't want to think too hard, I go to my scrap drawers and make up some blocks for one of the scrap quilts I have in mind to make.  

        

In one drawer were a number of solid colour squares, so some of these were turned into these blocks. Not sure what I will do with these yet.

   

There were quite a few plain white/cream squares cut so I turned a few into a couple of chequerboard blocks, with some of the squares that weren't a specific colour.  I might make these into teapot rugs, bigger than a mug rug, for my teapot to sit on.  

As I prepared this post early for posting while I’m away from home, I realise now that I haven’t recorded the sizes of the blocks/squares.  Let’s say they’re 1 1/2” or 2” squares!  

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).
