Hi, all!
It's been a while since I wrote a post for Scrappy Wednesday! It's just been so busy, and I didn't really have anything special to share - but I've joined in the Me Sew Happy quilt-along and now I do!
Hi, all!
It's been a while since I wrote a post for Scrappy Wednesday! It's just been so busy, and I didn't really have anything special to share - but I've joined in the Me Sew Happy quilt-along and now I do!
Embroider or paint “You’re a Star” on a piece of fabric and cut to 6-1/2-inches square.
Pair the 4-inch scraps with the 4-inch background squares, mark a diagonal line on the background, and sew 1/4-inch away from the line on either side.
Cut apart and press, square to 3-1/2 inches. Arrange embroidered square, HSTs and 3-1/2-inch background squares in a star block as shown.
Sew the last opening closed either by hand, or by machine continuing the stitching all the way around the pillow for continuity.
Give to someone who has been a star in this pandemic time. This same idea can be made into a wall hanging as well. I'd love to see your creations too, anything inspired by my blog, on the Friends of From My Carolina Home Facebook group, accessible from my blog's Facebook page. Thanks again, Sarah, and happy sewing everyone!!

Now, didn't I tell you true? That is a fabulous idea, and makes it so easy to share some love with our pandemic Hometown Heroes! Thank you, Carole, for this fantastic tutorial.
And now it's time for you all to show off what you are working on for Hands2Help! It doesn't matter if it's just a little, or if you have finished and gifted your quilts already - just take some time to cheer on your fellow H2Hers! Link up below - and if you don't have a blog or Instagram, you can email me a picture you want to share at salliesue57 (at) gmail (dot) com, and I'll pull together a post to show off your stuff. (FYI I usually put all those submissions in one post, so try to get them to me by Thursday morning so I can put them in Friday's post!)
Hugs and see you next week!
Sarah
