I've been having great fun this week, continuing to grow this scrappy little number - i can't seem to stop. I also found a whole heap of more scrap fabric that I've added to my basket.
I allowed myself to digress from the above and thought I would have a go at some colourful spool blocks. I was inspired by Jacqui's quilt over at Tallgrass Prairie Studio linked here.Jacquie made hers with selvedges - which I don't have so hopefully I can get my stash of scraps down by using them in this way.
I've been itching to make a raw-edge quilt since I started quilting and I dived into these gorgeous flannel prints by Blue Hill Fabric called Zoo Friends. These prints are great for a youngster, either boy or girl. I made a little quilt measuring 36" x 42" in a day from start to finish. I love it.
I've also managed to design some cute little bags for a day workshop I'm teaching next month, there are a number of techniques thrown in for good measure, fusible applique, needle-turn applique, yo-yo's, 3d flowers as well as how to construct a simple tote bag.Phew, I'm exhausted now but my other day job is requiring my attention this weekend and there will be no rest for me.
Hope you have a great weekend.

My goodnes, you have been very busy while I've not been looking! Love your scrappy tops, but I have to let you know, that using up scraps doesn't seem to make any difference to how many there are! They just multiply themselves in the box!
