Using Strange Things to Make Something

 These are practice "sandwiches" I used for free motion quilting. They are  string pieced from Halloween scraps and serged around the edges. . Very colorful and I just could not toss them. These jewels have been hanging around for a couple of years and today I decided to do something with them. I needed something for the patio table outside to be fun and I thought "HEY these are fun". 

I used a zigzag and simply butted them together and joined. No plan just random draw putting them together 

It does brighten up the table                                                         Fun for the wine

Looks like a bottle of wine when I see this pic. 9 Strange Things gone from the sewing studio and now ready to host a bottle or two of wine. It is not a piece of perfection, but I like it for all the imperfection. Happy Days ahead.

Stitching Has Been Going On

 Yes I have been having fun in the sewing studio and traveling a bit to Colorado, Arkansas and Texas areas in our RV (livinginarectangle.blogspot.com) and some in our Vanderhall auto cycle.

We love the road in our Vanderhall and have so much fun seeing the faces of people when we are in it. When we stop at places we always get curious people gathering around it. It is fun to be free to have fun.

 

Now a few projects in the works:

Baby quilts gifted to friend who now has her first two grands!

College bound granddaughters got their quilts!

#quiltbuzzbingo  Loved using stuff from my stash to get a fun project done.

And then there is other fun ways to use stash and have "potato chip" sewing...You can't do just one.

The pink is a curved project I am working on. I do love curved piecing and had not done much for a while so nice to be back in the curve.

I do have a couple of other things in the works but no pics to throw up on the board. Hope to have some soon and you can come back to see me and what they are. One is for a swap our modern guild is doing and one is for a charity quilt. 

Until next post, keep doing what you are doing and have fun.
