Really teeny scraps and really big lengths

See???
Never throw any tiny bits away,because you can always use them ,this is my down fall,clearly,I have the teeniest scraps,but so ,so many,this pin cushion and more like it will be going into my Folksy shop this weekend,it is rude not to pass on the mini log cabin love

Then some super,super,fabric arrived by post this morning,yum,the "Ginger Tile" is many times more stunning than I thought it would be ,I plan a skirt from some of it,and hope the scraps will be big enough to log cabin.........

Log cabin-ish fever

I have a love for log cabin blocks
I tried making some log cabin inspired ones,I am way to lazy and undisciplined to find out how to do it "properly",so I made this way up ,with a vast amount of 6cm wide strips a rotary cutter and my machine!




What I love is the way I can really use up lots of strange ,oddly shaped,scrappy bits of fabric left from projects.

They are going to be scatter cushion covers ,some destined for the sofa,some for gifts and some for Solly's bed

Is it strange to have a favorite corner?

Well call me strange,as this is mine!

Then this one is only pieced so far,not quilted yet,I went for a more traditional use of the blocks here to create an orange half and a green half...I liked the effect more than the random ones I think

This one is for Solly's bed, he enjoyed greatly ,spotting the bits of fabric which his clothes are made from...sweet little observant boy!




(I have actually made 12 blocks the same size too,for a single bed quilt for Sol,but I am taking my time on that one................. )

Long time

no blog,I know I need to do this more,I find the technology hurty head ish

I do not however find Echino overalls hurty head ish at all,I mean who could?



I found them a delight to make,I have this terrible habit of storing fabric I love and nver cutting into it,so I really enjoyed the actual cutting the fabric today,that sounds weird,the end results are cute too,bonus!!!



He is pretty happy about the panthers too,he growled lots!

I am in a real ideas and loving sewing phase,so tro record it for those floppy ,sofa lolling days like this can only be a good idea

The rest of the weeks sewing in pictures then.........................
