Sew Sunshine

Scrap Bustin' is one of my finishes so far this week.  50 x 60 approx. My scrap drawers are full of strings and crumbs but I also found partial Fat Quarters and thick strips in some bags laying around my sewing room. I decided to use more of the neutrals I had and cut them into 6" squares and then logged around them with random sized strips and then cut them up again and sew them back together in a cross type pattern.  More scraps and an orphan block used up on the back along with the strange purple print fabric I had in my stash.  I am so happy that I was able to bust out and use up a bunch of scraps but I will just admit that I have so so so many more scraps to use. How about you? My new Babylock Jane!!! I love this baby so far. This is an industrial machine very similar to the Juki 2010. I love the fast speed and I love love love that it sews over different thickness and doesn't break the thread!  I bought this machine from a local dea...

  Calling this one "My Way" it is the Rebel pattern from Libs Elliot I love the bright colors but played with the neutrals in this one.  approx 73 x 73 straight line quilting with walking foot Leftovers on the back  plus some extra fabric.

Project Quilting challenge this week was thread. I found this cute Cori Dantini print and decided to go for the fmqing and not stop until I was done no matter how awful my stitches were. Yep, they are not the greatest but I kept at it.

I was faced with a challenge last week that I had no spare time for. Even though I would not get it done for the deadline of the challenge I wanted to complete this table runner anyway. I will be showing a demo on the Quick Curve ruler next week and wanted one simple piece from the book  One Wonderful Curve  by sewkindofwonderful.   I changed up the layout and block number to accommodate my fabric and color choices to go with.  Will I always love grunge fabric? I think so.....  One of my goals this year for myself was to try more dense quilting that is not matchstick.  I had fun with this but I chose to backstitch instead of bury my threads and I should have not done that.  I have a knot button on my machine but still have to bury the ends so I am curious to what most of you do? For fun I took this on my front door. I love how the soft light shines through.  Linking up with WIP Wed @  Freshly pieced  and  Let...
