Challenge??

Hi Mistea here -

I decided to join the Pin Cushion challenge hosted by the lovely APP here -

Only using what we have to hand she said -

Lets see the choices for the filling include but are not limited to this little lot -

plastic beads, glass beads, squishy beads, polyfil or cotton stuffing

Fabric scraps should be enough to make a pincushion surely -

I have all these - there is a basket under there somewhere.

As I have so many choices my challenge may be deciding what colours to use and the combination of fillings to make it perfect for my sewing space.

I'll come back when I've made some progress.

Hope your week is filled with creative opportunities.

ARE YOU A SAVER?

Hi, I'm Caroll. I blog for the Attic Window Quilt Shop and I have a question for you. Are you a saver? What a silly question. All quilters are savers. It’s in our blood. Some days I feel like my growing scrap pile is closing in on me and that if I don’t do something soon it will squeeze me right out of my sewing room. Can’t let that happen. I’m addicted. I gotta quilt! Consequently, I’m constantly looking for ways to use up those scraps. When I see the beautiful scrap quilts on other blogs, I think, “I’ll do that.” Then I realize how much piecing is involved and rationality sets in. I may start it, but I’ll never finish it. However, here is something I might do. The other day when I was at the Attic Window Quilt Shop, I came across this book. It called out to me for several reasons: 1. it has lots of ideas for small projects that you can make with your scraps. Notice the word SMALL. Now this is the kind of piecing I can do and FINISH! #2. this lovely book was just $9. That’s unheard of today! Most books I buy have to either be purchased with my 50% off coupon at that unnamed other store or found at a yard sale. #3. this lovely book is by a fellow Michigander, Carol Loessel of Macomb, Michigan. Now, I ask you, who could resist those three reasons to buy! You can visit Carol’s blog here.

Until next time,
