Brilliant use of scraps ... Log Cabin Patchwork by Red Pepper Quilts

"Scraps" appear on the top of my mind today - not work, mind you - and this is a great way to use scraps from one colourway. I think I should be making one of these with all my pink scraps ...

Great idea, AmandaJean: Using batting scraps

I have always derived a strange form of satisfaction in using all my batting ... and AmandaJean is showing how to turn those left-overs into a rag quilt ... go check it out!

Edited to add a link to the finished product: Rags to Riches.

Repurposing: Shirt into Skirt with Yoga Style Waist

Make It and Love It: Repurposing: Shirt into Skirt with Yoga Style Waist: I will definitely give that a try this summer!

Must make one of those heart mini quilts

Look what I found in VickiVictoria's photo stream .... it's based on instructions from Freda's Hive

Must (eventually) make one of those ...

... am however scared of all the pointy bits in the middle!

Edited to add: the photo was taken by Red Pepper Quilts at Purl Soho.

Mug Rugs ...

As you may be able to tell ... I am bored at work, not because I don't have a lot on ... but because it leaves me a bit uninspired at the moment ... I'd rather be making mug rugs ...

Such a simple, yet cool way to use HST

As some already know, I hate corners, I hate triangles even more. But I love HSTs ... they are so easy to make. But they can be a bit repetitive, so this is a great way to use them.

Thank you, Red Pepper Quilts, for sharing!

Fat Quarterly Quilt Along - Dandelion Girl quilt

For years, I have been looking for a suitable pattern for all my Dandelion Girl fabric and I think I may have found it ... Regardless of that, I like this idea of keeping the core of this block all in the same colour.

First Gift Idea for Christmas: Candle Mat

Via the Quilting Gallery, I stumbled across this adorable Candle Mat by Sandi Andersen, which comes in a two-part tutorial: part 1 and part 2.


I volunteered to make a goodie for the charity auction at my club's International Brunch in December and I think this might just fit the bill!

The Pink Quilt - by Pigeon Pair

I love this quilt and I imagine that after some planning, it's fairly easy and quick to execute.

polka dot tongue top

The tongues are flaps ... what a cool baby quilt idea and probably ideal for using up scraps!

Block Party: Modern Stripey Circle Block

I wanna play ... but I'm sure I will soon implode with the number of UFOs beginning to float around my sewing room:

Stripey Circles Tutorial.

Pillowcases

In case I ever get around to sewing something practical for myself, I will make these: Pretty Quick Pillowcases

AmandaJean's Figgy Pudding Quilt

In case I get bored over Christmas - and find some lovely light green fabric - I might make this Figgy Pudding Quilt.

Quilt-a-long: Value Quilt

Original work by Jarobichaux

Because I don't have much to show right now ... I'm in that dreadful phase with no terribly looming deadlines and between projects ... I am wasting my time surfing the web and came across this wonderful quilt-a-long on Metrosupial Designs aka Katie's Willy Nilly blog that also has a full tutorial as well. Posted is a photo from the Flickr Group.

Eventually, I might do this too ... (yeah, right!)

Instead of cleaning up my craft room ....

... I am surfing and finding excellent tutorials such as the "Friendship Bag Tutorial" on Rachel's blog.
