Craft Quilting

I’ve been making a few pot holders with leftover fabrics. They are usually a bit wonky in shape. I use whatever thick fabric scraps I have to put inside. For this one, I have a wool felt blanket that’s been cut up for awhile, and it was thick enough that I only had to put one layer inside. Sometimes I’ll put two or three layers of flannel.

Now, this guy, I don’t know. I just sewed it using some scraps and it looks pretty Americana to me. It’s about doll quilt size. I’m not sure what to do with it, it’s not really my style, but I still like it. So it’s hanging out in my studio until I figure it out.

I really love this! I used some vintage fabric samples I’ve had for ages and never wanted to cut into. But as I’m trying to de-stash, these fabrics came under the knife. I also wanted something to hang in the bedroom because I have yet to hang anything up in there. For some reason the wall color did not turn out at all. It looks blue in this picture, when it’s really a light green. I stuck it into the wall with sewing pins… maybe not a very permanent hanging device but good enough ’til it finds a good spot.

Oh, and those last two projects used a pattern called log cabin. It’s super easy, although it requires sewing a line, jumping up, ironing it back, and repeating for as many pieces as you sew. I averaged around 40 jump-up sit-downs during the last project.
