trickle down scraps and fun sites to visit
I pulled these fabrics from my stash in November 2009 to start a new Bonnie Hunter mystery called "Carolina Christmas.
I quickly realized the yellow had to
go! It was replaced with a nice bright white. Yes, that made all the difference.
A year later the quilt was completed down to the binding with machine quilting done Debby Brown.
This spider web quilt was made from the selvages from the red and turquoise fabrics, again machine quilted by Debby Brown then donated to Quilts of Valor.
This little art quilt went to Ami Simms Alzheimer's fund raising efforts and brought in $45.00 for Alzheimer's research. I pieced it from the left over salvage pieces of the spider web quilt and machine quilted it myself.
This little quilt went together in an afternoon but is not completed.....I used the back side of some of the turquoise fabric to give the effect of two solids fabrics........Ho Ho Ho :0)
..and with a couple of extra blocks I made a few of these mug rugs for a Christmas gift.
This little house block was given to everyone that participated in Beth's neighborhood challenge. It may get some unruly words added.
Which brings me to the latest use of the red and turquoise fabric....."Rhapsody in Bloom". This pattern will be available in the March/April '11 issue of Quiltmaker Magazine which will be available soon.......
Have you seen the Quiltmaker blog called Quilty Pleasures?
And have you seen this site yet?
Quilters Club of America? It has tons of free stuff (or you can buy a premium package) where you can see more of the Scrap Squad quilts.
So is there any more turquoise and red fabric left in the scrap basket?
Happy Sewing,
Kim

Winter sewing
While the weather is bitter cold I am making the most of my indoor time at my sewing machine.
I finally finished the binding on "Christmas Lights" a three part mystery from Bonnie Hunter and Quiltmaker Mag....I added some unruly letters from Tonya to make it my own. Debby Brown quilted it for me to make it look like a million dollars, and it has a snugly flannel backing. My first gift finished for 2011 Christmas :0)
I continue to make progress on RRCB another ongoing Bonnie Hunter mystery.
And it looks like I'll have time to finish before Spring is here......we have another snowstorm on the way :0)
