Here is the sampler I made - I took the scrappy route:
After I cut out all of my flying geese and the points for my stars for the above sampler, I was left with a stack of triangles, which I sewed into these...
which I sewed into this!
a fun zig zag mini quilt! (I did NOT square up the HST's - so points aren't quite as nice on this one) This mini just *may* be up to win as a door prize at the Knoxville Modern Quilt Guild's Meet & Greet this month - so stop by if you have the time!
I decided to big stitch hand quilt the pointy sampler, and am finding myself in need of a needlebook/sewing kit of sorts. Digging through some of my old stuff today, I found this cute piggy cd case that is just begging to be reincarnated into a sewing kit!
Do you think you can help me figure out how to make it that sort of thing? Here are what the insides look like.
The only thing I was thinking is that maybe I could sew some felt to the CD sleeves for pins and needles. And of course sew in some kind of loop to hold tiny scissors...and then I draw a blank. Any other ideas out there?
Can you attach a magnet to the inside? That might make a good place for laying down needles when you need to answer the phone, etc. You could also line one of the cd sleeves to put scissors in, rather than a loop. The will keep the scissor tip from scratching/poking holes in your kit.
ReplyDeleteoo!! Magnets are a GREAT idea! And I hadn't thought about the scissors poking holes....thanks, Sarah!
