The regular Thursday morning tea is on in the Village Lounge this morning, so I shall attend.
I really enjoy catching up with those that attend regularly.
After that, I'll come home and finish those last two Scrappy Dolls, then move on to making some 'Scrappy Coasters'. I'm determined to start using up some of my scraps.
I have at least a dozen boxes FULL of scraps. It's crazy how much I have in fact. I clearly never throw anything out.
It's 'pub night' this evening, so I shall visit the kids before joining Stew. We've not seen them in a couple of weeks. Time to catch up.
ABOVE: Time to fish this out of the linen cupboard... my electric throw. OMG, it is so lovely. I have used it for two nights already. No bitching about being cold from me. Sorry other people if you are cold.
ONWARD...
ABOVE: Just finished these last two (for now).
Loving them.
Now I have to put me face on and go to morning tea.



Excited to see your coasters :)
ReplyDeleteA good way to use up scraps and make quilts, without having to do quilt stitches thru the layers, is foundation piecing.
ReplyDeleteYou sew the scraps to squares of muslin or flannel, and then sew the squares together.
You can use any type of backing fabric. You can tie or do loose stitching.
It would give you a totally different item and use up loads of scraps. And I think it would be a fun outlet for you creatively.
