The first time I made the Slightly Scrambled Quilt using fat quarters I made way too many four patches. In fact, the second time I made too many as well. I don't always count out individual blocks as I make projects. So this means I often have too many. So what's a gal to do with extra four patches? Usually I put them

This weekend (in addition to lots of yard work) I stitched up a couple of quilted pillows using a new fabric line called Trish & Birdie. Sometimes smaller, quicker projects like this are so gratifying! It feels great to start AND finish a project in one weekend. As a bonus, it gives me a little kick in the pants to get some of my other projects finished up as well. Trish & Birdie is a new fabric line designed by Deane Beesley for Sweet Bee Designs. I love those colors! The first pillow I made is a sweet 18" quilted pillow made entirely from half square triangles. I knew the sherbet colors from the line would look so good against a crisp, white background! After piecing the half square triangles into a block, I felt all that white needed a frame around it. I used one of the pink prints as a binding and it was just what was needed. When I got the first pillow done I decided it needed a friend. Plus I wanted to try pairing up the prints with a gray linen-look print, and I love the results! I machine stitched the Dresden block down to the gray background square and then did some simple free motion quilting around the outside of it to add even more texture. I left the Dresden block free of any quilting to help it "pop" a little more against the background. I think the two pillows pair up nicely without being too matchy-matchy, don't you? And now I need to find a new home for these sweet pillows. My boys decided they're way too pink for this boy-filled home. (Is there really such a thing as too pink?) Are you looking for some Trish & Birdie fabric for your own projects? Find shops that carry Sweet Bee Designs fabric here on their website.

Hi, all! This week I found a great pin on Pinterest and immediately put it in my Oh Scrap! page - but it got me started thinking about another great way to use your scraps! Isn't that a great pillow? It's even finished in my favorite way - with binding, just like a quilt. This is a quick, easy way to refresh your house, even providing seasonal pops of color. Here are some scrappy pillows I've made recently... This pillow was made literally from the tiny scraps left over from a quilt I made... ...and this one was made with bonus HSTs and narrow strips left over from another project! This pillow and the one below were also made with bonus HSTs. FYI bonus HSTs are created by sewing a second line when you are putting corners on a block, such as a snowball block, and creating a small HST out of what would normally be thrown away. Here's another example of pillows made from bonus HSTs - are you sensing a theme here? Seriously, though, I just can't bear to throw away perfectly good fabric... And this pillow is made from the simplest kind of scrap block - an easy two-fabric block done large. If you have orphan blocks hanging around, this kind of pillow is even easier! Just add strips around your orphan block until it reaches the size you want. The next two are a little bit different, but are good examples of up-cycling... My daughter made the embroidered piece that is the center of this scrappy pillow cover - originally, a wall hanging set in an embroidery hoop. When she redecorated, she wanted to save her handiwork, and asked me make it into something useful. I had a lot of scraps left over from Emmy's pennant quilt and created a postage stamp "frame" for the needlework piece. Definitely a win-win!! And this pillow was made using a long-treasured piece of needlepoint I found in my grandmother's stash, turning a piece stored for years into a useful and beautiful pillow that reminds me every day of the woman who taught me to love the fiber arts and do them well. A simple envelope closure on the back means you don't even need to find a zipper! It's also a great way to use up those random fat quarters hanging around your stash - I usually make my backs by folding two 22" pieces of fabric in half so that the back is actually a double layer of fabric. And there's usually binding scraps in my box to finish off the pillow cover. And when you want to switch your pillow covers out for a fresh seasonal take, they store easily either laid flat on a shelf or hung from pants hangers in your closet, ready to be brought out again when your mood or the season changes! Feeling inspired yet? *&*&*&*&*&*&* And yes, I'm still working on my Gypsy Wife quilt! This week I added Pershing to my Color Wheel block... One more and it will be a party! This week's block went pretty easily - I cut some of the pieces a little larger to allow for distortion and trimmed as needed to keep it square, and still used a very scant 1/4" seam, but other than that it's right by the pattern. And I'm loving how the Latitude scraps are looking in these blocks!! Take that, you little scrap monster, you!!! Hugs! Sarah SaveSave

I also realised I had not put pictures on of the cushion cover which I made for my nephew. It was waiting for ages for its binding to be done - I had a bit of a finishing-off-projects-blitz a while ago, and have almost nothing left that I am working on!

Un challenge pour être "Ensemble Malgré Tout" (EMT) et toutes coudre une même couleur. A challenge for being together, whatever the situation, and all sewing the same color the same week. Mercredi dernier, la couleur de la semaine était le vert. Ce mercredi, c'est le jaune qui a été annoncé. J'ai peu de tissus jaunes en fait, je pensais en avoir plus... Je suis restée sur l'idée du pique-épingles, comme la semaine dernière, avec cette fois un motif de tresse. Last Wednesday, the color of the week was green. This Wednesday, yellow was announced. I don’t actually have much yellow fabrics, I thought I had more... I stayed on the idea of the pincushion, like last week, with this time a Braid pattern. --- Un tuto rapide et en images pour montrer comment je l'ai fait : A quick tutorial in pictures to show how I did it: Tissus : 3 jaunes différents, et du gris pour le fond. Fabrics: 3 different yellow, and grey for the background. Pour un pique-épingles de 4'' x 4'' (10 x 10 cm) fini (les dimensions sont en inch, j'ai converti en cm mais attention c'est moins précis) : For a pincushion finished size: 4'' x 4'' (10 x 10 cm, I quilt using inches, so I converted to cm but be careful it's less exact): 1 carré gris / grey square : 4.5'' x 4.5'' (11,4 x 11,4 cm environ / approximately) 1 bande grise / grey stripe : 1.5'' x 4.5'' (3,8 x 11,4 cm env.) 1 bande grise / grey stripe : 2.5'' x 4.5'' (6,35 x 11,4 env.) 3 bandes jaunes / yellow stripes : 1'' x 7'' (2,5 x 17,5 cm env.) 3 bandes grises / grey stripes : 5/8'' x 7'' (1,6 x 17,5 cm env.) Chaque bande grise est ajoutée à une bande jaune. Repasser la couture ouverte. On a une bande A, une bande B et une bande C. Sew each grey stripe to a yellow one. Iron seams open. Now we have Stripe A, Stripe B, and Stripe C. J'ai dessiné la tresse sur du papier quadrillé : 1'' x 4'' (oui je sais, ce n'est pas logique : j'utilise du papier quadrillé en cm pour tracer en inch...) Ensuite c'est de la couture sur papier, en alternant les bandes A, B et C, on obtient : I drew the braid on square paper: 1'' x 4'' (yes I know, it doesn’t make sense: I use square paper in cm to trace in inches...) Then it's paper piecing method, alternating the strips A, B and C, we get: Les bandes latérales sont ajoutées à la tresse, puis le dos du pique-épingle. The side stripes are sewn to the braid, then the back of the pincushion. Après retournement et rembourrage, coudre à petits points l'ouverture. After turning inside out and filling the pincushion, sew the opening with small stitches. Et voilà ! Ensemble malgré tout - 2, 4'' x 4'' (10 x 10 cm) Remarque : ce challenge est ouvert à tout le monde, il suffit de créer quelque chose avec la couleur de la semaine, et de poster ses photos sur le groupe Facebook du Forum France Patchwork. C'est un groupe privé, demandez à le rejoindre. Note: this challenge is open to everyone, just create something with the color of the week, and post your photos on the Forum France Patchwork Facebook group. It’s a private group, ask to join. You are welcome to sew with us, all together!
