Saturdays Scraps

Hi everyone - sorry I haven't been  here for a while - Alan and I have just come home from a little holiday up at Coolum.

Coolum is a lovely little town with a dog friendly beach, so of course, we took Tommy and Priscilla with us!  Had a very lazy, relaxed time, and now we are home and raring to go! I'll post some pictures later, I keep forgetting to get the little camera out of the car!

So, here we are again, I didn't have any sewing time at all while I was away, but have done quite a bit since getting home!

Here is Dolly Medallion Quilt, she says she is finished now - just needs backing and binding - do you agree?

I've been making some improv trees this afternoon - they are such fun - I'm going to use them in the next medallion quilt!

Remember this little dolly? She will get the trees after a plain border.

Here are the three that I have made so far, with  her:

Don't ever, ever mention Moda fabric to me ever, ever again!!  I have had a Moda jelly roll in my cupboard for about a week or so, thinking I would use it in something special I am doing.

Well, was that a mistake? YES it was!! No two lengths were the same size, widthways, the lengths were cut crooked, which meant I couldn't use them in the project 'cos they looked stupid!

They pulled and it left marks on them when I cut them, and they lost so much cotton dust, my sewing room looks like it has snowed!!

I have never had to use such disgusting fabric, absolutely horrible, horrible, horrible!!

I even used a few lengths of it in the Dolly Medallion Quilt just to get rid of some of it - it will now go to the bottom of my scrap pile.Enough of my ranting, just had to get that one off my chest as I have spent hours and hours fighting the stuff!

Join in with us and show your scrappy masterpieces!
