Quilts for Kids reproduction fabric
I recently stopped in at the Quilts for Kids sew group to drop off some quilts I had ready to donate. On the table was a stack of reproduction 30's style fabrics. If you follow me you know that is not really my style but I knew that stack had been in the to do pile there for a while. I decided why not. I had two color groups and decided whatever I did I was going to use up every scrap in the quilts themselves.
My mom had given me long ago the Nancy Zieman plastic template for various sizes of tumbler. I remembered you cut a strip of the fabric then turn template to cut the angles. Perfect if you want to use up every inch!!
For the pastels I picked the yellow and for the darker colors the blue green. I think they turned out pretty good.
I used whatever cuts I had left over to make the back wide enough. They each finished 45" x 54" so hope they can go to an older toddler maybe.
This is the first sewing and completing I have done in a long time. Still nursing back problems here.
In the mean time my great niece was in town for state h.s. volleyball. They were not expected to get to state and they ended up winning the title for their class. Went to two of the games and met up with some sisters too.
One sister always gives found objects from her church garage sales. She thought this was a blah gift but I found this old cookbook so much fun.
Take a look at the cartoons in this 1950's edition of good old Betty! :)
Lastly my bee mate Judy had a fun bee prompt. It is a sort of square in a improv square. Colors were great to work with.
Photo is not great but they were fun and I was on my way to meet up for coffee and bee fun.
