Pieceful Monday

Pieceful Monday - Making kitty blocks, using the free pattern from Janome - piecefulthoughts.com

One of my projects this weekend was making some kitty blocks, requested on Instagram by a woman whose young daughter passed away from the flu. She is collecting blocks for quilts to support the charity set up in her daughter’s honor.  The 6″ blocks go together so quickly, and the pattern is free, so I’ve enjoyed pulling from my scraps to make them. I’ll make a few more before I send them on their way. If you would like to make some, let me know in the comments and I’ll give you further information.

A few more blocks were added to this stack of blocks for the Carolina Hurricane Block Project. I will be presenting this project to our quilt group and hope to have some participation for making more blocks.

I made this infinity scarf with a half yard of Cotton & Steel Menagerie rayon fabric that I purchased on a sale. The fabric is soft and lovely.

I’m not even going to tell you how long it took me to make it. Sometimes I can make the simplest project difficult.

Meanwhile, I’ve been designing some little 6″ quilt blocks for my brother and sister-in-law’s shop. I have enjoyed that quite a bit, but I can’t show them to you yet.

The scrap slashing is still going on. My 5 inch charm squares are done from this batch of scraps. Up next will be 4-1/2 inch squares. I was feeling pretty accomplished with that task, until I looked over at the three other drawers of scraps. This may take me awhile.
