Ready to Mail.... from Leona's Quilting Adventures

Happy Sunday! I hope that your week has been fun and filled with Quilty Projects! My work load at my job has steadily increased and so has my travel during the week. I found myself pretty tired on Saturday morning and didn't accomplish as much around the house as I would have liked to!

I did complete two small projects and they will be ready to mail out on Monday. The first project was for the Modern Scrappy Bits Swap on Flickr. My partner requested a fabric basket as her main swap gift. The basket was a lot of ...

More Modern Scrappy Bits... from Blueberry Patch

Oh my! More scraps. I was stalking my partner for the Modern Scrappy Bits Swap and I pulled a bunch of scraps that I thought might work but I didn't hear anything from my partner so I thought I would try again and see if these scraps might catch the eye of the intended. There is a whack of stuff with some Basic Grey, Oh Deer, Secret Garden, Joel Dewberry, Madrona Road, Type and I even put some Kona Ash in there just for fun so I hope this catches my partner's eye!

Then I received this in ...

Modern Scrappy Bits Swap Triple Zip Pouch super size me! from Blueberry Patch

I thought about super sizing a triple zip pouch for my partner in the Modern Scrappy Bits swap so I did. I Upped the size so that I could box the corners and I made it a bit wider as well. I pieced a bunch of scraps of this and that (Ruby, Vintage Modern, Reunion, and the text print is a scrap from a line called Fresh Flowers. The main lining is a scrap of text fabric from the Word Play line. I did a quilt as you go method so I was able to use a bunch of different ...

Modern Scrappy Bits Swap! from Blueberry Patch

I have been watching the mail for my Modern Scrappy Bits Swap package and yesterday it arrived!!!! I received a lovely bundle of goodies from Sam (UKmuminusa) who blogs at A Cup of Tea and a Slice of Cake. The pouch is to die for and came complete with scraps, a wee Christmas ornament, and a wee needle book. The needle book is just the right size for tucking into the pouch for on the go sewing projects. I just love it. I am most impressed with the eyelets too!

Thank you so much, Sam! Swaps are such fun!

And ...

Swap Pouch and it is done! from Blueberry Patch

I had a goal that I would get this all ready to go today. I signed up for the Modern Scrappy Bits Swap part 2. I did a bit of lurking and thought I would make a zippy pouch for a "take on the go" sewing and stuff. Or really for whatever my swap partner wishes to do with it. I used a whack of sewing related scraps as you can see. I am a bit zipper phobic but I put on my big girl pants and went for it. I think I did okay. At least I am smiling ...

Bee Blocks Ready to Mail... from Leona's Quilting Adventures

Happy Sunday! I hope that your weekend is going well! The weather has been pleasant and warm in the Pittsburgh area. Yesterday was a housework and running around day. Today has been a laundry, sewing and cooking day! I finished some more Bee blocks and cut out enough fabric for another Love in a Mist block.

The blocks going out in this week's mail are pretty simplistic, yet in the larger context of the recipients projects, they all will end up in a beautiful quilt! The first block is a Granny Square Block for Robin in The Aqua and ...

Modern Scrappy Bits Swap.. from Leona's Quilting Adventures

Happy Friday! I hope that your week was delightful!! The weather here has been hot and very sunny. We had some rain storms for several nights that helped to cool things down a bit. Being a Southern girl I love the warmth of the sunshine and looking at everything green around me! On the way home from work I took a road that was off the main highway and saw a deer grazing in the woods. I slowed my car down to a creep and watched this beautiful animal as it ate by the roadside.

I wanted to share with ...
