S is for Sewing Scraps on Saturday

And those silly scraps spilled into Sunday!
Sorry to be so late with my "S" post!

Saturday my studio was filled with some salty Senoritas
who sewed so many scrap blocks it made my head spin!

We gathered together to sew blocks which will eventually be
made into quilts, then donated to Project Linus,
who in turn will lovingly gift them to children who are sick.  



Liz, Joanne, Pat, Eve, Jodie, Dolly, Jenny, Kathy, Mia  and Roberta (not pictured)
 had their heads down and were working intently!
Eve, the Phoenix West Valley Project Linus coordinator,  joined us today to
fill us in on how the quilts are distributed and all things Project Linus.
A job well done by all!
Thanks ladies!
These are some of the blocks that we cut and sewed in the studio on Saturday.
They are so bright and cheery!
This is what the Bullseye Quilt blocks look like when put together in a quilt.
and  features a scrappy foundation pieced border.
My kids used to take this quilt to camp with them and it has been well loved!



Another example of a scrappy Bullseye Quilt made in school colors.



One of my favorite scrappy Bullseye quilts made to look like
Sunflowers in a field using a blue background like the sky,
a green circle for leaves, a yellow circle for the flower and
a brown circle for the flower's center.

There goes Eve with a smile on her face
and her hands full of quilts
that will someday find a new home
wrapped around a child who needs a hug.

This is MY favorite Scrappy Sewer!
Not quite 2 years old and already comfortable sitting in front of the sewing machine.
Luckily her little legs don't permit her feet to reach the pedal yet!

Tune in Tomorrow for a terrific "T" tutorial.
God Bless,  tammy

It's been awhile..........

I know..........It HAS been awhile since I"ve posted anything new
on this blog.
Guess I've just been busy downstairs in my studio.
I've been sorting thru fabric and pulling out candidates
to become Micro Mitts. My pile is dwindling, so as you can
see in the basket, I've put together about 50 kits to make
new ones!
I love having these to give away.
I just hope that the people who receive them like
them as much as I do! LOL!
I've been itching to piece a quilt lately.
(let's not count how many finished quilt tops I
have hanging ready to be quilted......okay?)
So when I found these orphan Bullseye blocks mixed
in with my fabric I spent a little time and pieced
them together. Now I just need to add a border
or two and quilt it up.
It'll make a perfect little picnic quilt or car quilt
or outside swing quilt.............
I love having utility quilts that I can USE!
(okay.......so I WILL need to quilt it before it is finished!)



GREAT NEWS!
Mike FINALLY bought a new tractor!
His old one has put in about 15 good years.
Years of mowing the lawn, pulling small trailors,
and being driven around by countless soccer players.
I've asked MIke to buy a new one for a couple of years now
to the response that the old one had a "few more good years in her".
(Hey! Maybe that is why he keeps me around! lol!)
At any rate............the old one finally died
and the grass just kept getting higher and higher
so he finally broke down and got a new one.
Doesn't it look sparkly and new?
