Another scrappy toy bucket

Here is Evie's scrappy toy bucket.  It's a little different in that the handles are longer and I have folded the top down to the inside and then topstitched it down.   I have made longer straps to come up from the lining to the top of the bucket. What do you think?

Adult fabric bucket

Here is an adult fabric bucket for out bedroom.  We are going to use it for laundry and it matches the curtains, so a winner all round.

Scrap toy box

A scrappy day today.  Had a good day at our group today and here is the result.


I was quite pleased, putting my scrappy strips together and densely quilting it enable this toy bucket to stand up.  Hopefully the little lady this is for will use it for many years to come.  I will put together a pattern and perhaps someone will volunteer to be a pattern tester! 

One more view (sorry about the photo quality).......,,,

Small make for February

Yesterday I set to and came up with a flower bag for the raffle at our dance last night.  Just used some scraps and practiced some appliqué and free machine quilting.  An easy make and a finish!


I have also been busy the last two weekends putting together oversized blocks to use as practice pieces for my longarm machining techniques.  More on that next time.
