Cut, pin, sew, iron, repeat

That’s what I was doing today. And I guess will be doing in the foreseeable future.
Quite meditative.

Applique

Had some fun trying to learn needle-turn reverse applique.
Need to master working sharp corner but still like it.
I think I do some more squares and than decide what to do with them.

Precious moments quilt. Total make-over

Back in 2002 I cross-stitched and later sewed a small quilt based on Precious Moments in Miniature booklet. I did not have quality patchwork fabrics and had vague understanding of how to piece a quilt. The fabrics used are those found in my mother's stash as well as left-overs from previous sewing projects. Nevertheless, this little quilt was my good compainion for many years. No wonder after more than ten years of service it required good repair - total make-over, I would say.

First step - saving crossed-stitched patched; they are the only part of the old quilt to be used in the new one. Next one - shaving...
Before:

 And after:

All 24 squares are rescued:

I used Classic Dainties Scrap Bag from Keepsake Quilting for the top of the quilt and floral flannel as backing.

Let the work begins!

Final arrangement and result!

Pad cover

Being inspired by Moda Bake Shop Bookkeeper project I decided to make a cover for my hard working tablet.
Lotus Hana fat quarter pack was waiting for so long to be turned into something useful.
