I'm still in scrappy-mode. This time, I'm focused on burning through my leftover Christmas material. Most of it has been taking up space in my drawers for over a decade. Get it out!
I scanned through tons of "scrappy Christmas quilts" on Google. There are some beautiful designs I wanted to try, but so many of them were based on red and green material. The majority of my fabric is dark blue. Who wants a blue wreath or tree?
Looking back on my notes from previous quilts, I came across a Storm at Sea quilt I made a few years ago. I love the pattern; I've dreamed of making another one. Here's my chance. It's a good size for a wall hanging or table topper.
I've cut all the material and had enough scrap left over to make a couple of rug mugs. Those got sewn together first. Now it's time to take the plunge on free-motion quilting.
On an unrelated note, I hung String Theory in my hallway so it doesn't get creased or dirty before the fund raiser. I figure I should get the chance to admire it while it's still mine. Doesn't it look great at the end of the hall? Who knew it would fit perfectly there? Am I going to be bummed when goes?
I may have to bid on it myself.
And one more thing - Connie is the winner of the brown bear magnet giveaway. Congrats! It's boxed up and ready to go.
I love String therapy, yep I'd have to bid on that one myself. Love it.
