KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE MY BLOW DRYER RUN!

Monday, Monday



I made this little mini quilt on Friday when I couldn't decide what to work on. I had a table full of stuff that needed to be cleaned off, so I took them and added some scraps from my newly cleaned out basket and came up with this. Sometimes it is just fun to sew without any idea of what you want to make.


I used plain white thread to quilt it up, using a #3 stitch length on my Bernina and random widths.


I am also working on a basket block in the laziest way ever! I found this from a start and stopped project that was in my leftover basket.


next I dug out 2 leftover HST that were in the same basket.....



added some sides.....



and trimmed it.....not too bad, especially with all my leftovers!


Now I am appliqueing the  handle free form to give it an organic look.


Happy birthday to my grandson Elliot! He is 9 today!!!
