Scrap Happy

Today I'm finding solace and sanity in the form of scrappy 9 patches.

Rather than focusing on the snow outside that refuses to melt, the spring that refuses to arrive, the violence around the world that refuses to cease, I'm going to think about colors and patterns, favorite fabrics and the projects I made with them. I'm going to think about the amazing generosity of sewists and quilters who dedicate their time, skill, and resources to sew for others in need.

Fabric Memory Lane: these fabrics were used for bags, pillows, a baby carrier, a bonnet, napkins, and bunting banners

On this somber day, I wish you peace, health, safety, and a never-ending bobbin.

Sunday Stash #3

Ah, green.

Left to right - Kaufman's Quilter's Linen, Erin Michael's Lush for Moda, and 1974 by Urban Chiks for Moda

I picked up these little lovelies at Digs in Northfield, Minnesota this past week. The store is a treasure trove of OOP fabrics, at least for now. They're moving out old inventory before they move their store to Minneapolis in July. The new location is a mere 1.5 blocks from my house! Fabric within walking distance - you have no idea how long I've been dreaming of this.

Here's some red, white, and blue in honor of the rapidly approaching 4th of July holiday.

Top print is from Wee Play, all the others are from Recess by American Jane for Moda

These are all American Jane prints, long out of print (yes, I'm obsessed!!!). Some I already had in my stash, others I picked up this week at Digs.  I'm planning to make a flag bunting or two with these this week. Fourth of July decorations, anyone?

Happy sewing,
Annik
