Fun Time in the Studio

scraps and strings.jpg

After days and days of making masks for friends and family, I have made a large pile of new scraps. String piecing is my favorite way to tame the scrap pile. This rectangular ruler happened to be handy so it’s the one I’m using. I have no idea what these rectangle pieces will become but I’m having fun making them.

I hade a fun day sewing with a friend at the studio today. The featherweights were humming along together. Sew days with friends are the best! #whatsonyourdesignwall #sewsmall #scrapquiltsarethebest #vintagesewingmachine #singerfeatherweight #fabri
More blocks for the scrappy quilt. I’m thinking of using those fabrics in the back for (bottom to top) dashing, cornerstones, and binding. See previous post. #sewtiny #tinypiecing #slowsewing #fabricisfun #scrapsquiltsarethebest
six inch finished blocks made from four different size fabric squares. Serendipity. All the pieces I had precut years ago can be sewn together to creat 6” squares. (1”, 1.25”, 1.5”, 2”) #sewtiny #tinysewing #scrapquil
