What I have been up to?

3 days into the new year and I am playing with scraps.
In a major way. Want to see?

I have been bitten by the #srappytripalong bug
that has spread like a wildfire across Instagram and Flickr.
I made 4 blocks the first night

 

Then made 8 more on Wed (yesterday) so that takes me to 12

 

and I have dug all these out of my scrap containers.

 

I am looking forward to playing with them later today.

 

 

I have also sorted all the left over / scrap fabric from my

Merry Merry Snowman Quilt

 

 

and now that my Vignette Quilt does not live in my table in the

lounge room I have this set up for my night time sewing.

This is almost how I left it last night as I did remove the empty coffee cup

before taking this pic :o)

 

 

I am starting with round and pointed 2"  Dresden's.

Each one will be appliqued onto a square.

Not sure where it will go or what it will turn into.

All will depend on how far the scraps go.

I do plan of picking up bigger Dresden's next time I am at my LQS 

 

(Thank you for this sewing set Shez, it is perfect for keeping everything

for this project handy in the lounge)

 

 

Speaking of Shez :) do you remember that she gave me this book

in our Christmas Swap.

 

 

I have also started a project from it and am only using Scraps again.

Right down to batting scraps.

 

Here are my new Scrap containers :)

 

Much more inspiring that the boring plastic tubs hidden in the linen press!

It will mean that I will have to "claim" more shelves on the book case.

Looks like the boys books are destined for their room.

Just as well they are away. I might be able to do that without them

noticing too much :o)

 

I have made these bigger than in the book. Mine are 8" x 9" and then 9" tall.

Huge, you should see how much fits in them.

So that's 3 done and about 7 to go.  They might be on hold though until

I get my #srappytripalong top done :o)

 

So there you have it, three new projects, all using scraps.

If this does not bust my scrap collection nothing will!

 

Before I go.
Tomorrow night I am going to sit a sew with friends.

Do you want to come?

 

 

Pop on over to see Cheryll and sign up HERE

and whilst you are there how about signing up for her

 

 

It is a simple and thoughtful one to start the year off with.

I have also joined the "Stitch-along" again for 2013



This year it is a mix of smaller projects from those three books.
I have ordered the two I don't have so am patiently awaiting their arrival.


Talk again soon,
hugs Sharon
