Karen Brown Stashbuster #2

In keeping with my desire to clear out some stash, I decided to try Karen Brown’s Stashbuster #2 pattern.

Karen calls it beginner and fat quarter friendly, easy, and fast.

She is right!

I cut the fabrics and made myself a kit over a month ago, so that I could just sew when I was ready for a simple project.

The weather has been gray for days and I could stay home, so I decided that I was ready.

This makes a nice baby sized quilt. It could also be a table topper, and makes a great charity project as well!

This winter, I just might cut some more kits from a couple of Karen’s Stashbuster patterns!

Have fun and carry on!

Christmas Pillowcases

I am looking for ways to use up lots of fabric and move it out of my space!

I think pillowcases will work great!

The sewing isn’t too involved and they make great gifts!

I sure didn’t give a lot of thought to staging, did I?! Maybe I should take the Halloween quilt down. Ha, ha!

I made 15 of these snowman pillowcases!

Some have already been gifted and the rest will be.

I have cut out more pillowcases and these will be given to a charity after I get them sewn.

Have fun and carry on!

Sewing Box Scraps

I recently made a seasonal table topper using Kathleen Tracy‘s pattern from A Prairie Journey.

I liked it so much! It was fast and it was easy to make! You can see that post by clicking here.

So I decided to make another table topper, or placemat, for the Christmas season.

Ta da!

It is hard to take a decent picture on a gray rainy day!

I know that you can’t see it, but all of the red and gold scraps have a metallic sheen to them.

I also quilted it with gold Sulky sliver thread that I have had in my stash forever (love this stuff)!

Have fun and carry on!
