You Never Know What Will Come Out Of My Sewing Room Next

 I started on the sail boat quilt kit which didn't take me

long to finish the blocks.  Now I'm playing with how

I want the blocks set [see below].

 The designer has all the blocks butted together but

I'm not crazy about that so I'm trying to decide

on a sashing between the blocks.

Derby checking something out in my pattern box.

 I guess there wasn't anything of interest in my pattern box so Derby

then moved the fabric on the shelf.  I hear a strange sound coming from

 the floor and low and behold Derby pulled this kit off the shelf and

started to rip the plastic.  How very strange ... I guess

he wants me to work on this one next.  By the way ... I still

haven't made the reusable grocery bag but have the pattern

sitting there as a reminder to give it a try.

 I picked this kit up from Outreach at our last meeting.

It's something called a 'Taggies-Lovies' that babies

really like ... this is a great way to use up all my

small ribbon pieces and flannel.

 Who would have ever thought I would be making

burp cloths!  Once again while drinking my morning

coffee I came across a YouTube video by Jennifer from 

Shabby Fabrics on how to make burp cloths.

 I thought to my self ... self ... this looks pretty darn easy

and it's another great way to use those odd size batting

 and flannel pieces that are taking up room on my shelves.

 So I downloaded the template and started to cut away.  

This pattern takes 2 pieces of fabric which

can be flannel, cotton or anything else that is soft.

Once you sew the three pieces together you then flip them to

right sides out and press.  Now I'm making lines with tape

so I can do some straight stitch quilting.  After that is done you

add top stitching around the perimeter and that's it!

Here are all the finished burp cloths - 8 in total.
I'll be donating most of these to Outreach
if Chris feels she can uses them.
