We were up in Maine last weekend visiting Daughters #2 and #3, Son-In-Law and Grandbaby. I did not bring anything to work on in the car or at the house. I am in between project steps and didn't have anything ready to travel.
Daughter #3 enjoys threads as much as me, so we went to Annie's Teeny Tiny Quilt Shop in Limerick Maine. I was looking for sashing for my second potato chip quilt and she was just looking. I did find what will be used for sashing. Now I need to get it washed and cut.
She was looking in the "scrap baskets" at Annie's. The baskets (yes, it is plural) have different size and shape material left over from projects, big and little bits, ends. You put what you want into a plastic bag and if you can close the top of the bag, it is yours for $5.00.
This panel of blocks caught her eye. We only used half of the panel for this doll bed quilt. Super simple to do. Just a layer of the material, batting and some of her left-over material from another project for backing. The she did stitching between the blocks and a left-over material binding was sewn on.
Moxie is showing how much she likes it.
Enjoy your threads today. The beginning of Grandbaby's Christmas Stocking will be my slow stitching for today. A decision has been made on a color change. Shall see how it goes.

Such good use of the bargain bin!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great concept, $5 as long as you can close the bag, and those quick projects can be super satisfying, aren't they? Sounds like you had a wonderful visit with your family.
ReplyDeleteSo nice that you and your daughter share a love of threads!
ReplyDeleteBargain bins are always great. Enjoy your stitching!
ReplyDeleteAnnie's scrap baskets full of bits and pieces sounds like a real bargain.
ReplyDeleteAnnie's Teeny Tiny Quilt Shop is small but a wonderful place to shop. We stop there each trip to Maine. Thank you all for visiting my Blog.
