Who doesnt love a child like this? Happily laying out all of mommys scraps and squealing “fabric, fabric” the whole time. Enya was just the cutest. She really loves to play with my fabric.
Finished:
I totally love to make these cute key fobs out of my scraps. They are wonderful gifts. These above will be gifts for my sister and my mom. There will be a tutorial for them in the near future – I promise.
Started:
Secret Project - Finally my solids for a secret project arrived. First time using Bella Solids and Im already excited, they are so soft.
But I already run into the first problem, typical me, its right now 4 1/4” (1/4” too short) x 10” (perfect lenght). And I really dont know why. I measured everything in EQ7. So no work for me, and I thought no math problems, but here I sit now and dont know how to fix this. Maybe anyone of you knows a tutorial for this, or has any tips for me pls.
Home Sweet Home – Designed some cute houses in a street, and already started it. Already a bit further, but havent taken another picture yet.
Caravan Pillow–- just finished the paper piecing on my caravan, but now it has to wait till I get my machine back and then I will turn it into a cute pillow for my dad.
Double Bed Quilt ––- waiting for fabric to arrive
Every Which Way Pillow #2 - finished, just need to take some pictures
Friendshipstar Quilt - is finished (just need to photograph it)
Starsurround QAL - cushion top finished, need to sew it together
Once Upon A Time Sampler -– started Mai block
Plus Quilt -– did a few more blocks, but still a lot to do
Kira –- still missing 1 arm and the baby

She's adorable! Love the key fobs. Half rectangle triangles drove me crazy last year. I added an inch and trimmed them later in the end. Have you tried paper piecing? I found that the easiest way to make them!
AntwortenLöschenthank you Ruth, I think I figured them out now, was such a pain, and its for a magazine, so I shouldnt use paper piecing, of course I would have done it this way
Löschenshe is so cute Cornelia! I can't wait to see if she is going to be a sewer some day. <3 I was at the craft store and saw some Halloween themed sock monkeys and thought of her. Everytime I see some I want to buy them for her lol.
AntwortenLöschenI like your key fobs.
AntwortenLöschenLove the key fobs. Just my kind of project!
AntwortenLöschenThose key fobs are a great way to use up some scraps and make beautiful gifts, Cornelia. Your daughter is so cute! Sorry to hear your solids piece is not turning out quite right. I always try to do a test piece using fabric I don't like. Are you using rectangles or triangles to do the piecing? Maybe add 1/4 inch to the width of those pieces? Hope you find a solution.
AntwortenLöschenthank you Lorna, the key fobs took me a bit to figure out the perfect size, but now they are fast and easy. My solids piece is nearly a full quilt top, if I had enough Kona Snow at home lol, so it has to wait a bit now. I figured it out, but I dont have ugly fabrics to try it on, thats my problem, so Im okay with trying on solids, better than on patterned fabric, more comfortable with this solution lol.
