Ohhhh Scraps!

 As a scrappy quilter , people frequently ask

 " Where are the quilts those scraps come from?"

and " Do you cut up yardage for pieces?"

Wellllll.... the scraps come like 

a radar speeding ticket, 

out of the blue, but much less expensive!?!

A phone call and a drive by and I end up with 

Christmas in the spring!

A friend of a friend directed this beautiful bunch of 

scraps to my door. 




Each organized bundle is secured with some large strips 

and is like a packet of inspiration!!!

The biggest detriment to scrap usage is wrinkles 

( someone said, but I think it is motivation)

so these came all nice and flat!



Sew much fun to be had!!


I finished a trip around the sun not too long ago and 

a squishy bag showed up in the mail.

 What did I find inside? 



A lovely card and assortment of scraps!!

Some beautiful oranges and colorful pinks, a great way to start a birth day!

Another cotton surprise came around that time too! 

Gave a buddy a ride and she came with a package of scraps!!

Leftover greens from St Patrick's day wall hangings!

Again, sew much fun!!




I wont be running out of supplies any time soon!  

It is a good thing I am at a retreat this weekend,

 I can make a tiny nibble into

 my scrap mountain of goodness!

Stay safe and Scrap on!

Pieces of the Season!




It's getting to be the holiday season and
tonight it turned out to be like Christmas.
I was at a holiday wind up when guess what appeared? …
two big bags of scraps!





Some of them appear to be UFOs or  partially completed projects .
There are even some fat quarters but definitely
Lots of potential. Who knows!
This batch on the table could end up just like this one on the wall.




This scrap quilt in progress was made
by taking leftover bits that were
residing on my sewing table and
sewing them randomly together.

Then I took one of my favorite size rulers,
8 1/2 in and trim them all to size.
I have a spot where I store
in progress scrappy type units.






After I had accumulated enough squares
I started putting them together.
Joining them in a 4 patch first
gives a little structure to the quilt and
the narrow sashing
gives a nice design resting spot.

Definitely love having genrous Scrappy friends!
