Hearts - AGAIN

You will NEVER guess what I found!!

I found some more REALLY OLD SCRAPS -

I knew that I has some -

Somewhere - ;))

I knew that I had these scraps from Chad’s quilt - here -
Some floral from one of my dresses -
And some green gingham -

But then I found some squares -
From a shirt my husband made -
Just to prove to the kids -
That he could sew -

And I found some pink gingham squares -
From my stash way back when -

And some extra “birds” and “wings” -
From the “Bird Quilts” I made in 1979 - here -

And some “butterflies” and extra "bodies" -
From the “Butterfly Quilts” that I made in 1978 - here -

Obviously I needed to make "Hearts" from these - ;))

I was able to make a “crumb block” out of most of the scraps -

Picked out a pattern -

Pinned it right side down on some muslin -

One heart done -
From scraps that are over 30 years old - ;))

I had enough “birds” to make another “crumb block” -
And - rather than waste one of my patterns -
I drew a heart on a coffee filter -

Laid out the heart -

And made the second heart -

Sometimes being a packrat -

Has some advantages - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
