Today was patchwork club and one of the members has been having a clean out. She brought a couple of bags of fabric scraps and another bag full of those tiny little sample pieces shops give away. Everyone was told to have a rummage and grab whatever took their fancy ^^ You know me – I didn’t need to be told twice lol.
I sorted out loads ( 91 in total) of little samples which measure only 5cm x 4cm (or 2” x 1.5” in imperial) – I already have a little idea germinating in my head . . . but it probably won’t happen this week.
and from the scrappy bag – I picked out these. The two fabrics in background are 8” squares ( the others are odd shapes and sizes).
It felt rather like Christmas, coming home with all these scraps and samples. Doesn’t take much to make me happy ^^
Other news – I’ve finished two more knitted 5” squares for my patchwork blankie project (so I now have four). I tried to take a photo to show you but with flash the the pattern doesn’t show up very well and without flash, the yarn looks totally off colour. I’ll try and take pics with normal daylight tomorrow.
For this evening I am going to cast on and begin knitting another square . . . and probably add a few more stitches to CdesC.
What a goldmine! I look forward to seeing what you make.
yes, it was such fun having a rummage
a shame the samples are so tiny but they’re all gorgeous
wow – this reminds me of the little liberty charm quilt I saw on the weekend – it looked gorgeous all the different pieces and no set order.
hihi, I’ve been sewing my tiny sample pièces today – will post photo when I’ve finished what I’m making
Looking forward to seeing your latest master piece
wow.. these are such pretty fabric charms you’ve got.. and i can’t wait to see you knitted squares.. :D
yes there are some gorgeous designs that I would love to have in larger pièces, but never mind, I am making do with what I have.
