MIA for about 3months?
I started a new day job which is totally killing me!
Running away from reality, and
sucked into to the black hole of inspirations at Pinterest,
I came across lots of patchwork patterns.
Whilst re-organizing my fabric stash during the New Year’s holiday,
I had lots of scrappy fabrics but not much amount of fabrics to make a quilt. So I decided to dive into my scrappy bin and cut some strips and squares to make a scrappy patch block.
THEN… at Pinterest, I saw the cutest block,
the granny square block.
I fiddled around with the scraps I made, experimented, and made the granny square block. Turns out, that I wasn’t thinking much when I made those scrappy strips and squares for a bonus quilt.
And it hit me… to make a pin cushion.
Since I had already cut most of my scrappy stash really small, and that I also had kept the quilt batting scraps as well, hoping to use it someday for a small project. And leftover 5″ charm pack fabrics lying around.
I am totally obsessed!
I can’t stop making these little granny square blocks!
Using strips, you can make 2 blocks at once!
I even played “etsy shop” and stamped some ribbon, initial “M” and a big strawberry.
I am totally enjoying this.
I don’t want to go back to work!
I want to patch all day 🙂
