First day of the year and I am busily
trying to organize myself so I can make
the best use of my sewing time. I do find
I stall a bit when I'd love to be sewing but
can't decide what to work on!!
I save patterns as I see them throughout the
year and that is where I am going to find
some new ideas for 2023.
First up, I found some fiddlesticks over at Kat & Cat quilts.
They focus on charity quilts for their state but they freely
share great ideas and patterns. The wind up page has a multitude of
variations on this scrap burning pattern so
they are definitely on my list.
Then I zipped over to Making a Lather and found some
end of the rainbow blocks that will suit my scrap addiction
and the RSC perfectly. This pattern
will also make use of my neutral and
low volume bin so it is a win win!
Everyone loves an Irish Chain don't they?!
I am probably going to use some of my favorites this coming year.
The wonky star blocks numbers increased dramatically one cold
weekend. Experimenting with different layouts and color
placement could start a whole new adventure!
There is still a hunt for a coin or quickie strip
variation to use each RSC month to clear off the sewing table.
I will fall back to my weave ( my name for it) block , even
tho my mother always said," White gets dirty so easily. "
It can be found at Grace and Peace quilting as well
as where I found it years ago, in a Leisure Arts book.
Low volume and whites/beige can be used for
backgrounds on this one too, so I can
work with that bin too! I could do the scalloped edge again too!
Another quilt added to the list is by
Marjorie Rhine featured in American Quilter July 2020.
It is made of scrap strips also so I can prepare
scrap string sets for two quilts at once!
and there are some new layouts and sashing ideas
over at Quilts in the Hood. An occasional poster
but definitely a winner with this setting idea!
I found the garlic knot that was discovered over on
Sew Preeti Quilts. Using solids I was gifted and
my low volume bin makes that definitely
good for both scrap busting and RSC.
+That looks like almost a list,
but there are so many patterns and so little time!
Just looking thru some old emails and
found a trip around the world that would be fun for
RSC too. Stop me now!
Here's hoping your planning has you thready for
a great New Year (see what I did there!)
I still need to organize my UFOs too!
Stay safe and keep on sewing!
