More fun with my treasured scraps
When I go to a show like the one at Olympia last week, I come home filled with inspiration to make something. I knew I needed to make a sample mini wall hanging for a workshop I am leading for Studio Quilters in the summer. So I pulled out my treasured scraps (pink obviously!), buttons and trinkets and just improvised. I started with the heart shape, which was a cut-out saved from an earlier project, and built it up from there. The mother of pearl buttons are real antiques and the little cameo pendant was saved from an old bra!! It is a bit bigger than I planned, but I was pleased with it anyway. This is how it turned out.
Then I decided to make a similar one in blue, to hang on the back to make it reversible. I put buttons on the front so that I could join them together with ribbon loops. But in the end I decided to make two separate ones. I didn't measure them at all, but somehow they came out the same size. Such fun!
All set to start on Susan's over-sized quilt.
Happy Quilting Everyone!
