Scraps, zippered pouch, placemat and leaders and Enders

 More finishing up with some scraps. These are the scraps from a quilt I have recently made.

Piecing them together.

To make a placemat.

Still some leftovers

Made into a zippered pouch with a clear plastic window. Good to store my thimbles, binding clips or ???

I sewed it so there was a base for it to stand by itself.

This means I can link up with Soscrappy for this years RSC. Blue….

I have also set up my leaders and Enders while I sew these scraps together. More scraps all ready cut out.

Fish School - Leaders and Enders 2021 block instructions

I have a sample of both sides pinned to my ironing board so I get the placement and ironing correct.

COVID-19 in MILDURA…….FNSI, SCRAP HAPPY SATURDAY & SLOW STITCHING SUNDAY and a little UGLY fabric I sent

 UPDATED….

MILDURA has now got its first case of COVID in 15 months. All because of some idiots & the crowds at an AFL football game at the MCG in Melbourne. People don’t think this is serious. We have to sit and wait how this will spread. As for me I am just going to work and keeping my mask on, using lots of sanitiser and keeping away from everyone. I’m fortunate that the supermarket is next door to where I work. I don’t have to go into town at the moment..

I’ll be keeping safe and to myself.. UPDATES WILL FOLLOW.

I am catching up on a few posts at the same time here… 

How I spent my Friday night for FNSI & Saturday playing with scraps. Sorting my scraps into strips & crumbs, cutting 2.5” squares and preparing Fishy School blocks for my leader and Enders project. There are lots of blue scraps here hidden in the piles of mess.

UGLY FABRIC SWAP.. the other way

The swap I have been involved in has been great. You have seen the quilt I made with my UGLY fabric in the last post. Here is what I sent to my partner and what she did with it.

Amazing…….

And the finished quilt

Our rules were. 

To use the fabric in the centre of the quilt and not just the border. It had to measure a minimum of 36” * 45”

 

N&TT and FNWF

My dinner tonight for FNWF.... YUMMY

I have been at home sewing today. BUT first of all I had to clean my workroom so I could sit at the sewing machine. I started yesterday working out what I was going to work on. I am linking up with
My Quilt Infatuation.... Needle & Thread Thursday

I have been using up some 6" RSC14 sampler blocks from Angela's at http://superscrappy.blogspot.com.au

I put them into my WONKY STAR STRUCK blocks and completed a flimsy.

Here is my room tidy.. Well it is for me.....

While I was making the blocks I have started a Leaders & Enders project with Bonnie Hunters  http://quiltville.blogspot.com.au/2005/06/string-spider-web.html quilt block.

And here is my flimsy. I think it looks great...
