Scrap Work

I’ve been deep in the string piecing lately and thought I’d share this shot of my work area. My sewing machine is on the right, a small cutting mat in the center, and a small pressing mat and tiny iron on the left. Above you can see a block that’s ready to be trimmed. I work with a big pile of scraps, smallest pieces and triangle pieces are in a pile for easy use on the corners.

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
I was on a sewing retreat last week and among other things, I created five six inch blocks like this one from 1” cut squares. It’s a 144 patch block. They make me very happy. #tinypiecing #scraphappy #scrapquilysarethebest #everylastpiec
