Monday making - just one block

One simple block with 

SO MANY color options!

I made this block this week and found out 

It’s a disappearing hourglass.

(I had used an OLD quilt block as my inspiration)

But...

I didn’t make an hourglass...

And I didn’t make it disappear!

If I had used that method I would not have been able to make it quite so 

SCRAPPY!!

I used squares and strips to make this pretty block.

I DO love scrappy quilts.

(MY youtube video on this block are here and HERE)

But... I love the simple 2 color quilts as well!

and...

Who can resist plaid??

The same little curved block can do SO MANY things!

monday making - quirky fabric

I made a new quilt this week.

SO FUN. And fast!

I used some homemade templates and lots of quirky fabric.

My templates were made from a plastic wall board we had in the garage.

It comes in BIG sheets...so I don’t think I’d recommend purchasing

Just for quilting.

Since my circles did not need to be perfect...

I think using cardboard would work as well.

I didn’t worry about getting the circle edges to meet when the 

Four pieces were joined.

This is a NO WORRY.....NO STRESS kind of quilt!

It’s been washed and dried.

All of the frayed edges are 

Perfectly soft and cuddly!

Monday Making - buckeye beauty

Moved it around a bit.....

Used scraps!

Viola!

Here’s the old quilt that inspired my whole sewing week!!

The garden is producing it’s winter goodness.

🙂

And here is a favorite quick little quilt from my sewing work this week.

Love all those calicos!!!

monday making

This week I was finally able to complete a quilt

that has been on my TO DO list for quite a while.

My son requested a HEAVY quilt to replace an older one.

(I have made quite a few quilts for this boy!)  😉 

I made this quilt using a blanket for batting

and I "tied" it using my machine.

All the details are HERE on my youtube channel.

Now.....All I need to do it mail it off!!

I also made a simple phone bag for my mom.

It was FAMILY WEEK in my sewing room.

😍

Monday making

I think this little box is one of favorite makes this week.

I took some scraps and some modge podge

And covered a simple cardboard tray.

Basically a throw away item from the grocery or plant nursery.

I also learned from comments on Youtube

That you can thin the modge podge and you can also use elmers glue.

🙂

I have been using it to travel around the house with my knitting.

This little beanie was also a favorite “make”!

My grandson NEEDED a beanie for his stuffed animal.

It was a trick to get it to the right size....but I finally found the

Magic number of stitches to cast on

And VOILA!

I used up two little balls of leftover yarn.

I am so pleased with this little project.

I added 2 simple borders to a quilt.

Using up the leftovers makes me very satisfied!

I definitely have the THRIFTY gene from somewhere.
