Do you have little bits of leftover 2 1/2" strips and charm squares? What do you do with them?
I'm playing around with a couple of things, and I've cut the leftovers into smaller pieces (ugh!) for a wildly scrappy quilt. Here's a sample of some of the fabrics. Maybe a solid white background to pull it together?
My friend Kathy has a new blog (Needle Delights Originals)! Kathy is a fellow quilting guild member, but she also designs counted needlepoint, and owns and operates a needlework store. I haven't tried counted needlepoint, but I'm in love with her designs that look like quilts. Like this one:
Her brick-and-mortar store is in Pensacola, Florida, but she also has an e-store here. So if you love needlepoint, quilts, or both, stop by and take a look.
Have a great week!

Please don't hurt me....I put them in my scrap bin ....
No pics showed up for me! But love Kathy's designs and Needle Delights is a great shop!Love your books, Kim!
Nope -- no pics.
No pics showed for me either, but there IS a little thumbnail photo in the list of blogs down the right side of my blog. Now that's weird!
I hopped over to Kathy's blog. Her designs are phenomenal!
Regarding leftover scraps, sporadically I'll cut them into squares, put them into labeled boxes, and then I look at them. But I do have 2 books from Bonnie Hunter, and I'm starting to sew the squares together as Leaders and Enders. Maybe I'll end up with a couple scrappy quilts some day.
I don't see the pictures either...but I really want to!
No pics but would love to see them!
No pictures here either. I use the strips and charm squares for most of my quilts as I like a scrappy look. The charm squares are great for the Li'l Twister quilt or for the disappearing 9-patch. I'll be back later to see if your pics are up yet. Your friend Kathy's needlework is awesome!
If I click on where the pictures should show up, the pictures open for me. Love your scraps! I just keep them! The needlework is beautiful......thanks for sharing it :-)
I love your scraps especially those with pinked edges - I use them for applique, strip piecing and just for the memories of things I have done with them....

Can't see the piccies either. I recently got your 2nd book, so I'm mulling over which project to start first ... but I'd love to see more ideas for the 'little' bits too!! Currently I save 2.5" squares and 2.5" x 4.5" bricks and sometimes use them for borders, etc :)
I had the same problem with the pictures on my post this week. You are good to go now. Can't wait to see what you are making from leftovers:)
