Once Upon A Time...

Once upon a time I made this quilt:)  As you can see on the edges, there are half triangles.
 I couldn't throw them away.  So, I decided to finally put them into some sort of a project.
 I came up with a star!
 I simply need to handstitch the binding and it will be a lovely little table topper.  It feels good to do a bit of stash clearing:)
 At our last MOPS meeting this quilt of Michelle's was hanging out.  I have no idea what they used it for, but I was inspired.  It is loverly.
 I haven't made any Farmer's Wife quilt blocks in awhile.  These have been sitting in a pile waiting to be photographed.

 I love this green fabric! I have a dress made out of it.
Once upon a time I made this Very Hungry Caterpillar quilt for my nephew.
 I had pieces left over from that too.  More stash clearing!  I made this little quilt.  It is a lot smaller than it looks in the picture.  Soooo, I had to order just a little bit more to make it a proper baby quilt:)  Not sure who for yet.
 I bought this little arm and collar ironing board at the rummage sale last year.  It has been shedding dead foam pieces since then.  I happened to have this loverly green fabric that actually matches the avocado green metal.  It is now cleaned and covered!
 Speaking of the rummage sale...today is the day.  I have to work a short shift and then we'll see what treasures are there to find!

    I think that star is beautiful. I could totally see it in the center of a quilt too. Seriously, it's gorgeous. And way to get so much done!

Finish It Up Friday...Scrappy Triangle Shag Rug

Image
UPDATE: Several people have asked about this rug. One specifically asked about how I folded my prairie points. So here are some step by step pictures.  I started with a 4 inch square. Fold that square in half diagonally.  Fold the point up away from the fold at the center towards the other side.  Fold the other side up across in the same way. A friend sent me a picture on facebook of a rug. It was a cute rug she saw at a newborn photography class. I took on the challenge of recreating that rug. I was a bit surprised to not find anything like it online.  I did finally find a variation of prairie points to use when folding and ironing.  I did a lot of folding and ironing.  I took 4 inch squares folded them in half and then folded the sides overlapping to create more of an acute angle to the triangle. I started with a 30 inch circle made from some denim and just started sewing them on...around and around.  I was amazed at how many times...

Finish It Up Friday...Pink Triangle Shag Rug!

Image
I made this scrappy rug back in 2016 for a childhood friend who does fabulous photography! Check our her work: www.katrinaleephotography.com  or on Facebook . She was able to put it to use for this precious baby photo shoot!  After she posted it another friend of mine saw it and requested a pink, cream and gray rug for her coming granddaughter!  Thanks so much for the shoutout Katrina! It was already a week or so into January and she wanted it by February 1st...so I got crackin'!  You can see how I made the first one HERE .  It is fun to see these last photos in a row and watch it grow.  I'm not a big pink fan, but I did end up having plenty of pinks for this rug.  Not having to go buy fabric sped up the process.  I want one for myself now! So fun!  I struggled to get the center right once again.  I sewed it into a swirl thinking it looked a bit like a rose.  The gal who ended...
