Practical Patchwork

Taking pieces of fabric...

ANY KIND of fabric....

and PATCHing them together

is what I like to do!

Making the patches practical

is in my DNA.

 

Using PATCHes in everyday life

suits my style!

Using PATCHes under every cup and dish....

is my GOAL!

 

Isn't yours too???

Coasters using orphan blocks

will be living under MY cups of coffee.

Little Black Bag

I've been shopping for a black bag.

Every time I see one I think about the black scraps I have at home.

I think...

I can MAKE a black bag.

Why BUY when I can MAKE???

I thought about it MANY times...

and FINALLY today I

DID SOMETHING about it!!!!

I did not use a pattern.

I measured the bag I've been using

and just made one similar in size

with the same sort of handles!

I almost CUT the handles OFF

my current bag so that I could use the rings...

then.....

I chickened OUT!!!!

What if I want to use my current bag again????

:/

It's kind of worn out...

but you never know.....

Instead I used some "D" rings I had in my stash.

Here's the back.

I'm almost OUT of heavy black and gray scraps!

Oh no! ;)

I added some hexagons I made WAY back here!

That silk hexagon quilt is

STILL A DREAM!!!

That's o.k.

I DO like having a little jar filled with silk hexagons.

I can Whip them OUT at times like this!

Lining and a pocket with velcro!!!

Here's what's left of the wool pants I used!

One leg had already been used for a prior project.

Now we've got some HOT pants!

LOL!!!
