It's been a busy week around here, with not much time for scrap sewing. With a full roster of t-shirt quilt orders, I'm making hay while the sun shines and knocking them out as quickly as I can! Today one of my customers sent me a picture of her daughter with her new quilt...
And that's why I love making memory quilts! It's wonderful to see people react to a tangible, useful recollection of their treasured items.
That being said, I haven't had much time for scrap sewing (although I've been making a lot of scraps!) but I did find some really cool inspiration on Instagram this week.....
Look at all those wonderful tiny scrappy houses and trees! I cannot imagine the work that went into this, but I sure can appreciate it!
And look at all that glorious color!! I definitely need to find out if there's a pattern for this one...
Isn't this one fun? It's made of shirt fabric! Such a great way to repurpose those old shirts. Men's shirts show wear at collar and cuffs, but usually the rest of the fabric is still in pretty good shape - and there's a LOT of fabric in an XL man's shirt!
But this quilt is my favorite of the week. I love a snail's trail block, but I've never seen a quilt made of scrappy snail's trails - isn't it wonderful? This one is definitely going on my bucket list!
That's all I've got this week, but hopefully I'll be able to do some personal sewing soon - I just have to decide which project to work on!
Go forth and conquer those scraps!
Hugs

Those are some very colorful quilts! Snails Trail is also on my list of someday quilts to be made but so many quilts, so little time. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteThat is one happy quilt recipient! As for that second picture, I'm thinking I read recently that it's in the process of becoming a pattern, and she has a really cool design called "Everything Goes" that's fun.
ReplyDeleteScrappy sewing is always fun. Keeping track of scrappy is not sew fun.
ReplyDeleteThat house and trees one!!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, it's nice to touch people's lives through our quilts!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, LOVE that recipient reaction, Sarah!!
