Bag of Scraps....my 1st Mug Rug is born
Saturday, February 04, 2012
A bag full of fabric scraps can be what???
When I went to my Wed. sewing workshop; Gloria #1 (we have 3 Gloria's) had brought in a bag of scraps that she didn't want. Gloria #2 went through it 1st. No one else seem to want them, so #1 told me to take them. (I think she caught me going through the trash can before) LOL! Well so far, I think I've got enough of them sewn together so far that I have 3 pot holders, and 6 mug rugs. Also I have some 4 patch squares left over, and 3 quilted postcard tops. Those are just the ones that are color coordinated so far....and I put some fusible on some of the smaller green pieces, and cut out some stems and leaves with my Go Accuquilt dies. It was too cold/windy to go to my flea market booth today, so I had fun playing with scraps instead. WooHoo! Pictures coming when I finish these up. Thanks Gloria!!!

Piec-lique by Sharon Schamber
Product Description
Award-winning quiltmaker Sharon Schamber shares her quiltmaking secrets from her years of professional garment sewing. Her need to produce projects fast and accurately evolved into a new machine technique she calls 'Piec-lique' (pronounced like applique). This method provides the speed and control to make curved piecing fun. There are four different applications of the technique: layered for gently curved seams, inset for enclosed shapes, combined for seams interrupted by other elements, and free-form for spontaneous piecing without templates. Three dozen gorgeous block patterns have been designed or redesigned with simple curved elements. The author's original designs include beautiful flowers, like the simple daisy, charming blue bells, and sophisticated black-eyed Susan. Quiltmakers will also find excellent information on fabric selection and help for figuring yardages.

Editorial Reviews
Piec-Liqué: Curves the New Way by Sharon Schamber doesn t just come from a quilter; it comes from the originator of a new method of quilting: one which uses curved shapes from piecing which looks like appliqué. Thirty-six block pattern examples using this simple curved technique range from flowers to block quilt patterns. No pins are needed to use Piec-liqué, which helps make curved piecing without pins. -Library Bookwatch, September 2005, Midwest Book Review

Love Quilt Received
This quilt was made for ME by my internet friends from my postcard group, & Mis-Fit quilters. Isn't it just beautiful?
All the ladies made a block, sent it to Kim for assembly.She pieced & quilted it, & even hand dyed the border fabric in my favorite color...RED! Mama Duck designed the label, Mel stitched it out & attached it. We we finally met for the 1st time this week,& she presented it to me. I was just amazed @ their thoughtfulness towards a person they never met before...But that's quilters for ya! I will post more detailed shots when I get a chance.

Focus Fabrics
Today I pulled out some focus fabric blocks that I love, but didn't know what to do with. It just so happens that the fabric I've been "making" with my scraps go really well with these blocks.....
Here is a sample of the 1st 2 blocks I've cut & sewn back together today.

Strippin' Along
Here is another new book in my collection. It uses jelly rolls, but I think you could also use up alot of like-color scrappy strings as well for a more contemporary look. Anyone else out there using this book as a guide for their projects? Alot of nice ideas here for placemats, & hot-pads...even art!

Crooked Cabin Quilts
Well I went to my local fabric store yesterday looking for some new inspiration. It was great luck to find out that all of their books/leaflets were 30% off! I have way too many scraps, & not enough time to spend making perfect cuts, & matching seams, & squaring everything up....so this book is just perfect!!! I think I need to find more books by Pat Sloan
because this one just looks like too much fun. If you make crooked log cabin quilts, I would love to see some of your work, so please contact me.

August
Wow! Where did June & July go??? Summer is going by so fast. My kids will be going back to school soon, & it will be time for me to get back to work on my sewing machine.
Well, the re-cycled/up-cycled pooh postcard was a big hit!
I gave it my friend Gloria for her 49th Birthday....yes @ her age she is the "Biggest" Winnie the pooh fan! Last year she went to see the Musical/Show...live & on stage....with a million screaming kids wearing her pooh house shoes....Yes she was the oldest member in the audience...not counting her date of course.
On another note- On a previous entry, I posted a pic of my newest postcard, "The jungle sings at night". Well I'm so excited to tell you that it was my 1st sale at my etsy store.
I can't wait to get some new stuff made!!!
Well everyone enjoy what is left of your summer, and watch out for some great deals on school supplies in your newspaper ads, weekly....that's what I do!

Pooh Postcard
I've really started getting into re-cycling used clothing. I think the new term is called up-cycle???
Anyway I made this fabric postcard using the front pocket that was on the bib of a pair of over-alls. Denim makes a great base for my fabric postcards, so you will be seeing more of these denim creations in the future!
