With Christmas this week and also Hanukkah as well, life is pretty crazy around here. Between baking, getting shopping done and a meal plan together and the tree up we have been super busy. When life is this hectic I still try to get into the sewing room a bit in the afternoons just to escape the mayhem of the season.
I finished the William Morris wonky block quilt top. This piece was so much fun. I was successful in doing a good deal of clean out of my fabric stash. These blocks do seem to produce a good deal of waste, but the idea was to eliminate some of that stash of fabric and it did do that and I am very happy with the results. So off to the quilter next month. I finished up all the table runners I plan to do for my guild's quilt show boutique, which left me with a good deal of leftover fabric. I decided to take those and make these little 11" by 11" zipper pouches. I had a drawer full of zippers from a project years ago, and this was a great way to use them and the scraps left over from the table runners. Not sure how many of them I will end up with in the end, I just keep making them as long as I have fabric scraps and a zipper to match.

There is something about my mathematical/geometric mind that does not allow me to sew anything that is "wonky". Your quilt is very pretty. I like the fabrics all together. Enjoy the holidays!

ReplyDeleteStitching time is a great way to recharge from all the holiday madness. You've made good use of that sewing room time. Wish you a very happy holiday!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you made quite a dent in the stash of leftover fabrics. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThe Wonky blocks quilt turned out very pretty! Those little zippered bags are great scrap busters. I made a bunch as gifts this year. And I do plan to keep making more of them.
ReplyDeleteI used up much of my zipper stash in the same way - it was fun matching zippers up to fabric. Your bags are really cute!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Such talent.

DonnaLee your wonky quilt is so sweet and I love your zipper pouches. I like making them large enough to hold fabric and pattern for my One Day/Must Make/To Do Projects. Thank you for linking with To Do Tuesday. I hope you’ve had a wonderful Christmas and are enjoying your Hanukkah as much. 🤗 Carol
