When we got back from our trip, my sewing machine was ready and waiting to be picked up from the LQS where it had gone for its annual tune-up. I could hardly wait to get back to creating.
First task was to make a cover/stand for the new iPad that our kids had given us:
The pattern is by the Inspired Wren, free on Craftsy. I did make some changes – instead of a button, I put in an elastic loop on the flap. Then I made the end of the flap narrower, and added a couple of pieces of Velcro to it and on the front of the cover, so that when the iPad is propped up, the flap angle won’t slip.
Then I started to tackle my scraps bin. I tend to cut scraps into 2 1/2” strips, which will lend to 2 1/2” squares for future projects. This seems to be the most common size of strips and squares that I use.
First project up, a Jelly Roll 1600, quilt top done in just a few hours:
Now I have strips and other bits laid out, trying to decide what I want to do next:
When we were cleaning out the truck after our trip and before lending it to DS-K for use in getting his house cleaned up, I came across a bag that didn’t look familiar. Grizz looked at it and said he had no idea what was in it, and then we checked it out. Well, it was a Christmas gift for me that he had bought when we were in Sisters, OR a couple of months ago. He’d tucked it away, and then completely forgot about it. So, for the winter ahead, I have something to keep me occupied for a few days anyway:
Looking forward to that one!
Happy sewing and quilting Blessings, Peg
