Scraps & Things

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I had so much fun stuffing the bag (see previous post) that I asked my SIL to make special trip back to the Quilter’s General Store to do it all again when we visited a couple of weekends back :)

This time there were so many good pieces, I bought 2 bags!!!  Again, many of them are Jo Morton fabrics and some with at least 1/4 yards.  Fun, fun, fun!

Many of these strips are salvage to salvage, woo hoo.

My SIL also gifted me with many scraps, lots and lots of scraps.  I was having so much fun sorting, folding and fondling all the scraps on the drive home that I might have gotten a scrap or two in this picture that was from the scraps bags but I think these are all from my SIL :)

We made pincushions from some of the scraps and here’s mine:

And last, but certainly not least, here’s a picture of the dish towels I “improved” as a gift for our hostess for the Quilt Show in Paducah.   We stayed with a Paducah resident last year and we must have been good because she’s having us back this year.

Darlene & I leave bright and early Wednesday morning, 6:30 am to be exact and will go straight to the quilt show.  Yipee!!
