Hi, all! It's time for another scrappy post, but today I am driving to Savannah, GA for QuiltCon 2017 - I'm so excited! - so I'm just going to share some inspiration with you today. First of all, I want to be sure you have a chance to see this fabulous post by Kat of Kat & Cat Quilts. If you don't know Kat already, she is the brains behind Covered In Love, which was one of our Hands2Help charities last year. She is also, by choice, a scrappy quilter, and she has a great idea for using up some of those precious small scraps that we hoard... Bookmarks! What a great idea! Her technique is very simple and you can read all about it here. And here are some pretties I've seen on Pinterest this week - lovely quilts one and all! Isn't this a cool way to do a charm quilt? I love the focus point the white squares give this one... And I have long wanted to do a bookshelf quilt, but wasn't willing to commit to the "realistic" look - and yet I really love the way this one looks! Less realism, but still gets its point across! And oh, the color!! I love the background color in these next two - grays can make all those beautiful scraps really POP! And this one just makes me smile! You can make this using either four mini-charm packs, or by cutting one regular charm pack in to quarters - a great way to use up that random charm pack you've got sitting in your stash! You can find the links for all of these quilts and more on my "Oh Scrap!" Pinterest page - click here to go there! So - - - do you feel inspired now? I'm thinking about taking my sewing machine with me to Savannah - wonder if I'll have time to do any sewing??? Hugs! Sarah

My daughter asked me if I could make a table runner for a fund raiser she was involved in that helps pay for spay and neuter of feral cats. I looked for a pattern to avoid purchasing cat fabric, and finally found a picture diagram of a pattern. Unfortunately they gave you no measurements for the pieces. So I winged it! That tail was a bit of an issue, but I finally got it figured out. This guy was a bit easier, mostly because I had already made enough mistakes on the first one that I knew somewhat how to proceed. Well it is ready to spray baste and start quilting. That will be the easier part given the lack of a real pattern. To Do Tuesday Silly Mama Quilts The Needle and Thread Network Mid Week Makers

The end of the year is coming fast, so I have been evaluating my Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilts to determine which I want to finish and which I want to carry into next year. One of the RSC quilts I have been working on is the simple color block quilt made with 2.5" squares. For October, I made a couple brown blocks. I knew I needed some red blocks - so I went ahead and finished up three from squares that I had already cut and were in my stash. A couple of yellow blocks were needed too. At this point, I knew I was pretty close to having enough blocks to finish the quilt. When I moved the blocks from my quilting studio to my sewing room, I knew I needed more green blocks so I went ahead and made a few of them. So here is what I have so far. I still need to sew up two more blocks and adjust the layout a bit. I think I need another dark blue and maybe a pink. Hmmm.....What do you think? ********************************************* It is now your turn to share what you are making with scraps.
