HEY....I may be
down, but I'm
not out!!!! For some unknown reason something happened to
MY BACK last Tuesday!!!
OUCH!!! It's been a mystery, but maybe vigorously shaking out those
10 blankets on the back porch may have had something to do with it....???? I'm not able to do much, I'm
soooo mad, there are
tons of things I need to be doing!!!
SO........I made some of these!!!!!!!
The
only place my back feels better is sitting in my sewing chair with the ole heating pad. Not a bad spot to perch whilst I try to mend!!
Out comes my
crumb bin! It's time to
make some fabric! And boy, do I ever have plenty of
crumbs!!! I finally figured out I think the main reason I make quilts is so I can have
scraps and
crumbs to play with!!!
HA! ( no seriously)!And when I say
'crumbs' I mean
CRUMBS!!! I know some of you may think I'm crazy, but I
save anything that will hold a seam all the way around and still have
'some'......yes, I said
'some' of the fabric showing. OK
ANNIEO stop rolling your eyes!!!
Those
'crumbs' can quickly become larger pieces like these. Before you know it, you have some nice
made fabric of your own design!!!
LOOK...LOOK how
cute they all play together! I usually keep some of these blocks made up, they are great for
potholders and such. I make them 8 1/2".
Before you know it you can have
THIS!!! If I sew the blocks all together with no sashing this is what I would get.
I. LIKE. This piece of made fabric measures about 25" x 25". I am amazed that alllll those tiny pieces can turn into something that makes my heart sing so!!!!
Mr. Brown Dirt just stood at my design wall and was just mesmerized and in awe of those teeny tiny pieces that were mixed in! He likes it too!!!!
Check out my labels list on my sidebar under CRUMB THERAPY or MAKING FABRIC to read more about my CRUMB THERAPY/FABRIC MAKING.....I've enjoyed 'MAKING FABRIC' since 2008. I think you should try and make some too!!!
..........it's snowing!
