It's a Finish!

 It's a finish!  That is a finished coverlet.  That's two layers with some quilting and bound. 36" square for a low income first time mother. We're switching to coverlets because the weather will get hot here. Last year we had 113 degree days in August.

And for the back some of that cute camping flannel I had left over.  This is the third quilt to have it as backing.

I'm linking to Judy's Design Wall Monday, Cynthia's Oh Scrap! See you there. What have you been up to?  Leave a comment and I'll visit you, too.

SAHRR Round 4!

 At last - Round 4 of my SAHRR.  If you don't know what that means it's the acronym for Stay At Home Round Robin. With my steady 15 minutes a day (well some days plus my mobility issues) I've managed to put it together.

I'm off now to consider treatments for round 5.  My inspiration for round 4 came from Barbara Black's Stars in a Time Warp .Was going to follow it with some of my stars but it didn't look right to me.  So I'm considering a different look.

Joining up with Alycia's Finished or Not Finished Friday , Brag about your Finishes and Off the Wall Friday. See you there.

It's Not From Scraps!

I was thinking about doing the May Table Scrap Challenge -thinking is all I do what with my mobility problem - and decided I really, really had to make me a new ironing board cover as I had burned, spotted, ripped the one I had. I went to order one and they were way too expensive, too depressing, just too too! I mentioned this to my Super Seamstress daughter and she came up with a plan:  deconstruct the entire cover, use the parts to make the new one. And that's what we did. Used the batting, the elastic, the binding. The batting made a perfect pattern for the fabric.

So I got to work. I wanted to use the letter suggestions for the Table Scrap challenge, so I used floral. Found a piece of fabric from my stash and, voila! here is my new ironing board cover:

 and here is what I got rid of:

It's not a table scrap, but it is floral and necessary for my sewing projects as I get ready to make the June Table Scrap Challenge.  Go here to see all the other projects for May at The Joyful Quilter. And I happened to use the right color for the Scraphappy Saturday. Go here to see those projects!
