Yellow Leaves

Today is the last day for the colour yellow with the RainbowScrap Challenge.  The only thing that I’ve found time to do in yellow this month are these scrappy leaf potholders. 

You will find the leaf potholder pattern at Patchwork Pottery. 

Last year I made a set in all colours of the rainbow to be ready for a Christmas Artisan sale at my place of work.  When Christmas came we were locked down, however I was able to take part in a Virtual Marketplace for our city on Facebook.  My potholders sold out, and I got some orders for after Christmas as well.  This year I hope to make more than one set in all the colours while participating in Soscrappy’s Rainbow Scrap Challenge, a nice way to try and keep my multiplying scraps in control.

Quilty Stars

Quilting and binding the ‘Quilty Stars’ quilt was my goal for the month of February while participating in Elm Street Quilts One MonthlyGoal (OMG) and I did it. 

This quilt was started and the top completed in the Summerof 2019 as part of a quilted along with Quilty Love.  

I found a backing fabric that I liked, and buying all that the store had, realized that some back art, was required to get the length that I needed. 

In keeping with the star theme, Quilty Stars is quilted with the Shooting Stars pantograph by Sue Schmieden, and I found a nice white on white with stars for the binding. 

Finishing it off with a quilt label, Quilty Stars is complete and ready for sale.

Quilty Stars: a goal for February

I’m always look forward to participating in Elm StreetQuilts One Monthly Goal (OMG).  This month I’m suffering with low motivation, however I feel I must keep moving forward, so today just before the ‘party’ ends I’ve picked my next project to finish. 

Quilty Stars was a quilt along that I participated in with Quilty Love the Summer of 2019, if interested you can see a couple of the quilt block posts here and here.

I found a nice blue with circle fabric for the back, however it is a bit short, so I’ll be adding some back art using left over strips of fabric used in the front of the quilt. 

Looking forward to having another finish, and goal complete at the end of February.
