I’ve not written here for a whole month; we’ve just started some major building work on the house so we’re living in a lot less space than usual and it’s a bit tricky to get any sewing done.
Before the builders started I had a little bit of a sort out and tidy up and found a bag of Parson Gray scraps from a couple of quilts I had made; one for my brother and one for Siblings Together.
I also found a box with Kaffe Fassett stripy scraps leftover from a quilt I made for Mathias and finished in 2011:
So yes it was definitely time to move these on:
So I offered these up on IG for free and sent them off to their new homes, hopefully they will be used and not sit in someone else’s cupboard for years! I certainly feel better about not having them in my stash.
These scraps that I’ve been adding to over time now may have a purpose:
On Saturday at the South West MQG meeting Helen brought the most gorgeous quilt to Show and Tell, it’s a low volume log cabin quilt, you can see it here. It is an ideal project for my low volume scraps; today I have the first day off at home alone for ages so I may spend some time pressing and cutting strips.
Great idea to move scraps on and help someone else out. And I’m looking forward to seeing your version of that LV quilt by Helen. Good luck with the house reconstruction and hope you find time and space to sew ! Thanks for linking up to #scraptastictuesday
Yes, one person’s scraps is another’s treasure! Lovely idea to move your scrpas on. And thanks for the link, a wonderful LV log cabin version , very inspiring!
I like moving scraps on too, it’s such a relief to have a bag less stuff isn’t it? Like a weight being lifted…
