The challenge in this month's blog hop was: "Life can send us spinning sometimes, so let's put those spins and whirls to good use in a quilt. Make something with pinwheel blocks, circle quilting, or whirly gigs. Try not to whirl out of control."</p><p>This is my day to post and I'm looking forward to sharing my project with you.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtIAqkmnuFbB_9U9DJ_Od9GpFYop-4-kWfWmfKwK80w-_ZPTBFN8fdv32wZkJ7yH2bSW0dxyys1DLK7H7L9_qSmmUsfoSUmV0gSMVv0S5dvYkxHehKKcSu-gZkxz1KHZzb9-TKElO_koWcwPYuyL4A9ScYBeNdaIVzaHYQc5CeclEKdmFWRiweS9KussJJ/s2000/Resized_20240213_113936.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtIAqkmnuFbB_9U9DJ_Od9GpFYop-4-kWfWmfKwK80w-_ZPTBFN8fdv32wZkJ7yH2bSW0dxyys1DLK7H7L9_qSmmUsfoSUmV0gSMVv0S5dvYkxHehKKcSu-gZkxz1KHZzb9-TKElO_koWcwPYuyL4A9ScYBeNdaIVzaHYQc5CeclEKdmFWRiweS9KussJJ/w300-h400/Resized_20240213_113936.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div>For a while I've been working with sewing up my littlest scraps (things like strings, oddball squares, triangles, etc.) by sewing them to adding machine paper for stability in dealing with lots of wonky sides. I started with dark blue first, and end up with over 1000 linear inches of dk blue pieced strips. <div><br /></div><div>I paired some of the made strips with some 6" unfinished HST's (the blue/cream), made the red HST's and cream tonal scraps to make this quilt top. </div><div><br />The outer round of the blocks with the blue and cream form 2 interlocking pinwheels. And overall, the blocks give the quilt a 3D look.</div><div><br /></div><div>At this point the quilt top still needs a border, but I have not been able to figure out what to do. Anyone have an idea?<br /><br />Don't forget to go check out what everyone else has posted about today.<br /><br /><br /><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";

I managed to get the reds, pinks, and greens sorted.

But this hop got me into gear on it. <p></p>I found this moose fabric last year and it seemed perfect for a niece who loves moose. Only difficulty was figuring out what to make with it because she really doesn't use tote bags much, and that would have been my first choice. Her mom suggested a lunch bag so I went looking for an easy pattern.<div><br /></div><div>Pattern I found was off of Etsy, and is easy and a good size.........but the download didn't have instructions when I printed it out. Oops, so I had to search on youtube for a tutorial on a similar one. Once I found that it was easy to put together.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJWyongTj-GdguXu74NKDpfHk_CuHMXUbyG9a7uIJBGzRORKesITwEf1G1d8TUdQhVQxXboBjytq6MNBPMPvRr-rk1Q4EvKITFMtp__yoee9ywA8JTQLxNc_tevjlGp4XKlc7sqfYVkgQWciwl7pUTX3uhXVRXGAyGPnd1vpvwjxYOeYPnFnJP-Fphc6mr/s2000/Resized_20240215_223754.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJWyongTj-GdguXu74NKDpfHk_CuHMXUbyG9a7uIJBGzRORKesITwEf1G1d8TUdQhVQxXboBjytq6MNBPMPvRr-rk1Q4EvKITFMtp__yoee9ywA8JTQLxNc_tevjlGp4XKlc7sqfYVkgQWciwl7pUTX3uhXVRXGAyGPnd1vpvwjxYOeYPnFnJP-Fphc6mr/w300-h400/Resized_20240215_223754.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div>Outside is the moose fabric, inside is a moda grunge polka dot.

I continued working with the blue string strips to make the blocks that I needed for the main part of this quilt. <br /><br />The blocks were easy to make, but several of the last few ended up with corners that were a little wonky in spite of my best efforts. Oh well....it is what it is. =) <p></p><p>Still to come is the border. That will start with using the last 4 of the red/cream HST's that I have. Still thinking about what else to do.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWm_1NNiiiuBK9CsQT1zy_Qt5Vztl_K0E8QdSKALDPovZkFMzBkUqpXQ_D99XSn-K0Rb0Ci5fmHWGfU-WZodHNLqYxJ4Yr8eZvaARWU8Vj6mMGXmFgS_km6FzB_S_OeoRL9UNDupx3yUK2oA0A_aNLyPP1JyMjlFRmfwktrKekFBuGLP_9sf7jaPXzFU-8/s2000/Resized_20240213_194120.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWm_1NNiiiuBK9CsQT1zy_Qt5Vztl_K0E8QdSKALDPovZkFMzBkUqpXQ_D99XSn-K0Rb0Ci5fmHWGfU-WZodHNLqYxJ4Yr8eZvaARWU8Vj6mMGXmFgS_km6FzB_S_OeoRL9UNDupx3yUK2oA0A_aNLyPP1JyMjlFRmfwktrKekFBuGLP_9sf7jaPXzFU-8/w300-h400/Resized_20240213_194120.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div>After getting the blocks finished, I then dealt with the bits and pieces that were cut off when trimming off the corners after doing the final seams.

Made w/o a pattern, but based on approximate measurements that she gave me and how I normally make my bags. This finished at approximately 12" square and 2 inches wide. It has batting in it. All fabrics were out of my scrap stash, lining was a remnant. Straps for hanging were the cuffs I'd cut off of a shirt that I repurposed.<div><br /></div><div>Front shown here, with the two outer pockets.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK5rdK-yXGpNnmUVWTJQEM7yBW3saX6J7pg0f4UjTTMNLWmf3t_gJdlb_4T5MpgMGrzfHvB4pn7d8BACxce2xsWUBp2I-UTB7sEH_M_uV27j2BRPhk_3zSRdB6ENH-zBNZyX3bj_vHh63oDryISWS5_mtD1zCUW7aEMYHY7c03aR2XYcPF5j5ge-xmRPj3/s2000/Resized_20231224_155141.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK5rdK-yXGpNnmUVWTJQEM7yBW3saX6J7pg0f4UjTTMNLWmf3t_gJdlb_4T5MpgMGrzfHvB4pn7d8BACxce2xsWUBp2I-UTB7sEH_M_uV27j2BRPhk_3zSRdB6ENH-zBNZyX3bj_vHh63oDryISWS5_mtD1zCUW7aEMYHY7c03aR2XYcPF5j5ge-xmRPj3/s320/Resized_20231224_155141.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div>Back view of the bag.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8sFN00QX6ebFxJD_ofiIUfBL_wQZuRZc7zwbAaCiTSeFGZ9pUgbQPuZdmyrGScpeTrQ5Tyt_gzaFfsJ6yjtsOEoukjgsO546bDdIom-gt5ooRvdHmtprdgPGr6_gjaCeAwm3pU9B8rKVfe2OoNT3x2b_tfvtigonzcZPC46FQxD_tMdX_qJE91APoSFNm/s2000/Resized_20231224_155621.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8sFN00QX6ebFxJD_ofiIUfBL_wQZuRZc7zwbAaCiTSeFGZ9pUgbQPuZdmyrGScpeTrQ5Tyt_gzaFfsJ6yjtsOEoukjgsO546bDdIom-gt5ooRvdHmtprdgPGr6_gjaCeAwm3pU9B8rKVfe2OoNT3x2b_tfvtigonzcZPC46FQxD_tMdX_qJE91APoSFNm/s320/Resized_20231224_155621.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div>While pulling the scraps for the walker bag I went through and pulled all of the short pieces, and those that were narrow or weren't prints that I hadn't used in forever to do string piecing on adding machine tape.

I think I might have enough for a couple of quilts....lol.<br /><br />Still to be done is to trim these strips down to a consistent 3" or 3.5" width and figure out what I want to do with them. I do have an idea for these, but need to do some sketching to see how things would look before sewing.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNhZGxK1dSaT3pJbuykGti7a0fmtvB99cqEbtMU-dZ44pwCecQ07FaBO-AWQ5HTs9ROhLAglnYhpIhOvZ_YsGynT-vFZ1N8UDf-RxBQAPElz9fFis3iuRPQY07anyvpObnOQ79RoTaD3Ev4qzUKerghlC7iaDdIfrsQUktIog65-ctnc6BANnRRLZ0WIbv/s2000/Resized_20240110_212348.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNhZGxK1dSaT3pJbuykGti7a0fmtvB99cqEbtMU-dZ44pwCecQ07FaBO-AWQ5HTs9ROhLAglnYhpIhOvZ_YsGynT-vFZ1N8UDf-RxBQAPElz9fFis3iuRPQY07anyvpObnOQ79RoTaD3Ev4qzUKerghlC7iaDdIfrsQUktIog65-ctnc6BANnRRLZ0WIbv/w300-h400/Resized_20240110_212348.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div>I've also gone through the light blue and teal/turquoise blue scraps and pulled out the small scraps and strips.

And trying to think ahead for that move, I decided I really needed to get rid of some of the accumulated boxes and fabric I'd kept from the last several t-shirt quilts I'd made. I'd kept sleeves and backs with the intention of turning the extra fabric into donation quilts..........never happened. <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1pD-Q7WtEGdnOU2_cqforaehUUEJmcFEXlkZeI1i9eUcoundD2e0U5lYe_apK-mbE2daumeHGGOtjHOQHptgGRi43_srZgchN9OyC0neKh_SM2q1ymjU6wCcu2jqg79T4BuSI4MSOR8mnfR9Bn1PUHc7SeUBBVs2WjfXWlwsXGTjPxn1IbO0r6nLpY2uq/s2000/Resized_20231202_082046.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1pD-Q7WtEGdnOU2_cqforaehUUEJmcFEXlkZeI1i9eUcoundD2e0U5lYe_apK-mbE2daumeHGGOtjHOQHptgGRi43_srZgchN9OyC0neKh_SM2q1ymjU6wCcu2jqg79T4BuSI4MSOR8mnfR9Bn1PUHc7SeUBBVs2WjfXWlwsXGTjPxn1IbO0r6nLpY2uq/w300-h400/Resized_20231202_082046.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div>In the cleaning out of the t-shirt leftovers, I also found the sleeves of several denim shirts that were leftover from a commission done early in the year. All were long sleeves so I had lots of fabric to work with. I cut them up into 5" squares and then paired them with 2 sets of novelty print 5" charms that I'd cut from scraps in my stash years ago. Haven't decided what I'm going to do with these yet, and they will get quilted at some point.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAdzr5HLw-pYtEtjbSMmHm3g98sQ7MJzF2uUFemUnLCeKRIeNtgY4yBOZ_xDfD5cXzYw79Qc4ZFheCE2gpa3fW_kgb5XSj4pqPjCm0yTw1QLPtxBQwWek1ZgdnwX0kkLUwKrV5P2uBYvK20_u-714i8M-8R1NVlE1_ED0zCJ9McTKJ6YsXIVuYKToy_rio/s2000/Resized_20231206_211854.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right;

The center of the quilt is paper-pieced in a long curving strip, and then sewn together. The giant rickrack then was sewn down over the seam to hide all the rough edges. It reminds me of Phoenix in the fall because there is still so much green around here, but here and there you see touches of fall color coming in.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDJ8CpwY9YnyZNMX7fagjXAMoGSp0RZNcfqs26KxFNsC6YB1C67ujCVCIWy4sjZBsbeUUpy-S2wrNqx1N8UXmEK0fZXDhEK41mn32DMToVBQfDO9YfZy1gl14lC3PQ6vetedyk7oLrns61FKzqg0ASgd-15Vhw6k4xlv6PavfJDGOP70XHgI0qQT3V8f3U/s696/Resized_20230924_111749%20(1).jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="696" data-original-width="522" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDJ8CpwY9YnyZNMX7fagjXAMoGSp0RZNcfqs26KxFNsC6YB1C67ujCVCIWy4sjZBsbeUUpy-S2wrNqx1N8UXmEK0fZXDhEK41mn32DMToVBQfDO9YfZy1gl14lC3PQ6vetedyk7oLrns61FKzqg0ASgd-15Vhw6k4xlv6PavfJDGOP70XHgI0qQT3V8f3U/w300-h400/Resized_20230924_111749%20(1).jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><p>This little table-topper or wall-hanging started with some little orphan pineapple blocks that a quilting friend gave me. They sat for years while I pondered what to do with them. I ended up bordering each block in the brown so that I could square them up to the same size, and then put them together in this little quilt.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gratitudes:</p><p>1. </p>Moirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16417830478125448599noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171916074484968694.post-61551267784157731302023-11-15T08:31:00.002-06:002023-11-15T08:31:27.386-06:00ScrapHappy - November 2023<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5FjnCW38A0pK1X4gBXJFePP1wmg_zVayVsMMbgBMn8nXs5VRLb4mEb3kx-gujML11Ty49dOx4o_Q7LKgsAXFhGBYM3Y8PtQ2Ij5v7J_jwB7QRq7c2gdnlASnT3edr7237ThwQ5_p4FR6VRLSTJO2kfZujJugX8bQzmND0z4Nkpxj8JWGMFYK0o3yyK3_f/s2000/Resized_20231114_202941.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5FjnCW38A0pK1X4gBXJFePP1wmg_zVayVsMMbgBMn8nXs5VRLb4mEb3kx-gujML11Ty49dOx4o_Q7LKgsAXFhGBYM3Y8PtQ2Ij5v7J_jwB7QRq7c2gdnlASnT3edr7237ThwQ5_p4FR6VRLSTJO2kfZujJugX8bQzmND0z4Nkpxj8JWGMFYK0o3yyK3_f/w300-h400/Resized_20231114_202941.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div> Progress on one scrappy project was made this month. All blocks were finished for this memory quilt. Colored fabrics were from the inherited scrap stash from a friend. The WOW squares were precut scraps. Sashing strips were also from scraps. Yet to go is a WOW border, then will be finished with a print binding.<p></p>This makes quilt top #8 from the inherited stash, and it will eventually go to my friends when quilted.<div><br /></div><div>Don't forget to check out what everyone else has posted about today.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://talltalesfromchiconia.wordpress.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: white;

And what could be more iconic for Halloween than candy corn. Well we all know what happens to the best laid plans of mice and men...........sigh......that silly quilt top is still hiding from me, so it isn't finished.<br /><br />Which then left me scrambling this weekend to figure out what I was going to do for the hop. Serendipity though was at play as I was working on cleaning out more at what had been my parents house when I found an applique kit originally meant to be used on a sweatshirt. My mom loved cats and collected all things cats, and she had found this at one of the local second hand stores . <br /><br />I dug through scrap bins for the background fabric (a civil war repro shirting), the backing (scrap from a commissioned quilt), and the binding which was an odd sized piece of University of Texas licensed print that was the perfect colors to match the applique. The little wall-hanging is now hanging in my cube at work in honor of my first work anniversary at Arizona State University which is Halloween.<p></p><p>Don't forget to check out the others who are posting today!</p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: red; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Monday October 23</span></strong></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.moosestashquilting.com/" style="color: #004182; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0070c0; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">MooseStashQuilting</span></a></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://selinaquilts.blogspot.com/" style="color: #004182; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0070c0; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">SelinaQuilts</span></a></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://livelylatte.blogspot.com/" style="color: #004182; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span face=""Calibri Light", sans-serif" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The Morning Latte</span></a></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://quiltedsnail.blogspot.com/" style="color: red; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank"><span face=""Calibri Light", sans-serif" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Quilted Snail</span></a></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://justsewquilter.blogspot.com/" style="color: #004182; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Just Sew Quilter</a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">Gratitudes:<br />1.

Along the way I worked on multiple smaller, vintage projects as well that I've found in what was my mom's stash as I've been going through things in what was their house (now mine). I've found a lot of vintage embroidery projects my Mom had started many years ago and never finished. <div><br /></div><div>This first one was a half yard sized piece of muslin that my mom had used an iron-on transfer onto. There were two big motifs at each end, one of which was completed and two smaller motifs.

I have to say, the stitching my mom did on these is amazing. The teeniest of buttonhole stitches was used on the flower petals. and everything else was satin-stitched.

Only of the wells had been started, but not finished. These are stitched with 6 strands of floss. So far I've completed 5 out of the 8 panels. 3 full skeins of floss have been used, along with threads that have been leftover from kits that I completed sometime in the past. The current plan is to use them in postcards because the fabric used in the panel is a heavy weight muslin type fabric, ravels easily, and isn't really good for a quilt.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhent6G3LuwPDsLZT0zbWTxRAZ4sI0heQWU2SLPWgYeJwHk6ymcQoMIUmBfCXTrGbj8pkpozRCphXnt9nyGKE4bLQ0xK87sCELD6wfZf2qQcrHAx37-HsYFFMg10o1JTbzuNA85M-83pnEzsrJwKJHHeSJjWZILhhRsrD8XY-7-6roz7l0EClCIaKfeQUos/s2000/Resized_20230904_175122.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhent6G3LuwPDsLZT0zbWTxRAZ4sI0heQWU2SLPWgYeJwHk6ymcQoMIUmBfCXTrGbj8pkpozRCphXnt9nyGKE4bLQ0xK87sCELD6wfZf2qQcrHAx37-HsYFFMg10o1JTbzuNA85M-83pnEzsrJwKJHHeSJjWZILhhRsrD8XY-7-6roz7l0EClCIaKfeQUos/w300-h400/Resized_20230904_175122.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div>My big project that I used this blog hop to spur me into getting finished over the Labor day weekend was making repairs to this Sun Bonnet Sue quilt. Made in approximately 1937 by my Great-Grandmother on my mom's side, this was one of the antique quilts (out of 10 or so finished ones) that I found in working to clean out things in my mom's bedroom last year after her death in 2021. All of the quilts that were found had been used and I loved that. This one had sashing strips that had holes worn in them, dresses and bonnets in some of the blocks that had not held up, and cornerstones that had holes. </div><div>I ended up repairing 3 dresses and 4 bonnets by appliqueing new ones over the original ones. 7 sashing pieces and 3 cornerstones were also repaired in the same manner. I used as close of matching to what the colors in the quilt were. The cornerstones were interesting - original color I think was a green, but in today's colors a blue matched the ones that were left in ok condition. Sashing and cornerstones were hand quilted to match the quilt.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX_N-Kjq8AkI9ZXFWfWGSehMDWmLqifwjI9En2JWXwZZYOojkibE8C1wW3R3xLXDbioRxOquXFG8hZRrZeGnjXJPsMl7HqJO3IINH8cMi82997qEdTLNHXPNov86I7VvYqbwi4hCiq6eeI-eibJMdaT3XLPCpEFaf_7qvky4mMvT85CWx3-8xthw_u-Clt/s696/Resized_20230904_175438.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="696" data-original-width="522" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX_N-Kjq8AkI9ZXFWfWGSehMDWmLqifwjI9En2JWXwZZYOojkibE8C1wW3R3xLXDbioRxOquXFG8hZRrZeGnjXJPsMl7HqJO3IINH8cMi82997qEdTLNHXPNov86I7VvYqbwi4hCiq6eeI-eibJMdaT3XLPCpEFaf_7qvky4mMvT85CWx3-8xthw_u-Clt/w300-h400/Resized_20230904_175438.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div>This block just needed a new bonnet because the dress was still in good shape, although faded to an off-white.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHUTIUGyo3g4IlJYNaMhxtPXP2NV2Am50UBSO8DfM3mTd16M9rK2chQwqRdAyi1DT5WKObFl8yF7GvGUSqqeGefi8TOh0z8R2LnxQvRrPLn6OJ7o08GIMR9ttJa8FLaRDTYRcXiHrYeIEFwnZTHkUDF1rwP7HL3WRk48ob8P2hA69pjJXvRvjm2ZH9t7ex/s2000/Resized_20230904_175550.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHUTIUGyo3g4IlJYNaMhxtPXP2NV2Am50UBSO8DfM3mTd16M9rK2chQwqRdAyi1DT5WKObFl8yF7GvGUSqqeGefi8TOh0z8R2LnxQvRrPLn6OJ7o08GIMR9ttJa8FLaRDTYRcXiHrYeIEFwnZTHkUDF1rwP7HL3WRk48ob8P2hA69pjJXvRvjm2ZH9t7ex/w300-h400/Resized_20230904_175550.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div>Dress and bonnet replaced on this block.

We all know that crazy and scary feeling of wondering what we were thinking when we started or were in the middle of sewing something out of our comfort zone."</span></p><p>Because I do a lot of commissioned work I often get asked to make many different projects. Some of these projects get to be "interesting" for lack of a better word. In 2022 I was asked to make 2 quilts for a girl who had just graduated from high school. She had been on one of the competition level cheerleader teams for 8+ years. </p><p>The first quilt was a t-shirt quilt. That one was fairly simple, altho it did have it's moments where it became interesting.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijmga-Q1ymkGUOcrRfiCxoV8ILrNnDYr5VVjO0x_lt0fzZrYbVeBbk8k5IDqB3seTS31-xI6Meujz2UsNaipVuU8EUN30hydwVOhAgpPIEhiLyCD-GkA76TycugOZiCfg8pb_YT5B_mipxBh9nKDs07tGwypBHTEmTCc9iPOjt22ODXU-4hHKRsbztK-5Q/s2000/Resized_20221129_191229.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijmga-Q1ymkGUOcrRfiCxoV8ILrNnDYr5VVjO0x_lt0fzZrYbVeBbk8k5IDqB3seTS31-xI6Meujz2UsNaipVuU8EUN30hydwVOhAgpPIEhiLyCD-GkA76TycugOZiCfg8pb_YT5B_mipxBh9nKDs07tGwypBHTEmTCc9iPOjt22ODXU-4hHKRsbztK-5Q/w300-h400/Resized_20221129_191229.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div>The 2nd quilt, however, was another story altogether. The second one the mom wanted made using her daughters competition outfits. You may not have seen any of these up close, but they are made from a heavy weight 2-way stretch material. Think of swimsuit fabric, but twice as heavy. And they typically are heavily 'stoned' with lots of glued on rhinestones,<p></p><p>Yup, enough of a nightmare to make most people run for the hills when someone asks them to work with it....LOL. Me, well I tend to have an attitude that says "I can figure it out". And then drive myself crazy doing it, lol.</p><p>There were two requests for layout - there were 3 complete outfits to be featured, and the tops were to be features. result was I used the front sections of the tops and outfits. to make it lay flat, I ironed interfacing onto the back of the background fabric. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-eVZWxr1eAdZ796eMlxMVlfUpOdu4op5aBrNRvAOcCjD_P1Oumsvz2WtaV5H_-jtfToXE2cHPtb9vbDUTgE_yIOI0gXcOJ8u2qPUfsxZgjd1oXSXommTHCKAsy84puK7cfC8FeouHhzYYRZmA2mcuuwwwEQ7ekcF0l2LA8emol8erhpAKYt5-uKPKqEud/s1080/327472189_1132773717406336_5580309825567573918_n.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-eVZWxr1eAdZ796eMlxMVlfUpOdu4op5aBrNRvAOcCjD_P1Oumsvz2WtaV5H_-jtfToXE2cHPtb9vbDUTgE_yIOI0gXcOJ8u2qPUfsxZgjd1oXSXommTHCKAsy84puK7cfC8FeouHhzYYRZmA2mcuuwwwEQ7ekcF0l2LA8emol8erhpAKYt5-uKPKqEud/w400-h400/327472189_1132773717406336_5580309825567573918_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Then just one outfit/top at a time started pinning pieces on and sewing them down.

I'm finally starting to see some progress after many hundreds of books, lots of clothing, and lots of other things have been donated.

Now lest you think cozies are only good for hot stuff.....not so! Here in Phoenix, when it is pushing close to 120 degrees, this is the time of the year to use cozies to help keep your bowls of ice cream cold longer while you eat it....well, unless you really enjoy drinking melted ice cream. ;-)</p><p><br />First up was this set made with beer themed fabric. One side was pieced with scraps of 2 different fabrics from a scrap bag bought about a year ago. The second side was made from a remnant that was bought later. While I don't drink beer, I know lots of people do. <br /><br /></p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoHiVUO2KYguVPlg-nq1jZwEZ-X2Ap4XOkaaNA0e4HtjSMdtgrGAvTXPmImYGowfgJoqLkiOYPg63bJoRcVsFNPvU_q_k0COKYmGpyF4XY6d3hxAAFtA_V3LUCBY5lnvEE-lnUwN_GIqprk_K2T0nO9HIrUdtacEeedqIE0bJn0TltCayWtzpoR_QGnxQd/s1080/picnicThemedCozies2.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoHiVUO2KYguVPlg-nq1jZwEZ-X2Ap4XOkaaNA0e4HtjSMdtgrGAvTXPmImYGowfgJoqLkiOYPg63bJoRcVsFNPvU_q_k0COKYmGpyF4XY6d3hxAAFtA_V3LUCBY5lnvEE-lnUwN_GIqprk_K2T0nO9HIrUdtacEeedqIE0bJn0TltCayWtzpoR_QGnxQd/w400-h400/picnicThemedCozies2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>The second set of cozies were made from a panel that was bought as a remnant in the clearance section of my local quilt store. The panel was comprised of 8 10 inch squares, so is perfect for cozies. I bought the remnant which was 2 panels, so still have 12 more squares to use for something else. And I thought the picnic theme was perfect for this blog hop. The cozies were backed a red Kona that was bought as a remnant.<div><br /></div><div>I'm hoping to sell the cozies at some point.</div><div><br /></div><div>Don't forget to check out what everyone else during the hop.</div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;

The memorial service for my dad was this morning so once again I can think.<br /><br />Lots of scrappy piecing this month with scraps I'd received from a friends mom's stuff. First up were 30+ of these 6" by 10" finished string pieced blocks. I'm still debating about how to set them into a quilt.<p></p><p><br /></p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTFjtyX512pPy8eJtlGTCLBSx_3genm8TeEHNFbvHSRNRW2MYkCUh7JvoBdy6PayKUGZ2vwxL1IdRt9cxdkzZg2YC61muEgzOMMYQglFYRqnVmjqdldfkALlf7QVpnxv83Vmoc-QARWPmj58M91thXRDgEnmbb1aPERlBTUDtdE4hwGD5dSTns83Zq2PS0/s2000/Resized_20230713_054237.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTFjtyX512pPy8eJtlGTCLBSx_3genm8TeEHNFbvHSRNRW2MYkCUh7JvoBdy6PayKUGZ2vwxL1IdRt9cxdkzZg2YC61muEgzOMMYQglFYRqnVmjqdldfkALlf7QVpnxv83Vmoc-QARWPmj58M91thXRDgEnmbb1aPERlBTUDtdE4hwGD5dSTns83Zq2PS0/w300-h400/Resized_20230713_054237.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><p>Next up were these 15 patch blocks in the same size. I've got a vision in mind for these, but am trying to use remnants for setting blocks....and not set on fabrics yet. May need to make more of the pieced blocks, won't know till I decide on a layout.</p><p>Until next month, stay cool in the heat of summer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gratitudes:<br />1. For ac in the 118+ degree temps here in Phoenix.</p><p>2.
