Today I continued to lower my fabric scrap stash and made four more tuffets. I made another Random Strip Rectangle...then tried another style (Double Nine-Patch) from the pattern "Tuffets" from the Schnibbles collection by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company...finally, I made a design of my own by rearranging some of the pieces. I was able to once again use my AccuQuilt GO! fabric cutter with the 2" square die and the 1" strip cutter die to cut my scraps. The Double Nine-Patch was quite fun to do, but very tiny...the small patchwork squares you see that make up the nine-patch are a finished size 1/2" x 1/2". Working on these was a nice break from a few work challenges I have been facing...a couple hours of sewing in the afternoon is always a "spirit lifter". I look forward to trying the other four styles included in the pattern...and maybe making up a few more of my own. I already have plans for a few of them...and who knows, maybe I will give a couple away when I reach another follower milestone (hint, hint)...
I am lovin' these pincushions you have been busy making! I think my favorites are the taller ones with the thin stips of fabric.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what else you come up with!
Wow, Belinda! Glad you were able to enjoy your tuffet "building" today! Each one is simply awesome! I love the blue and yellow square one of your own design!
ReplyDeleteThey are just getting prettier-Wow!
ReplyDeleteThose are so amazing, especially with the tiny squares, and you are sooo talented!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! What a great way to use those little scraps of fabric.
ReplyDeleteThey are great, ummm might dust off my sewing machine and digg out those scraps!!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of all the scraps and they are turning out really pretty.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the brown one with strips of fabric. If I ever come across some fabric with the "sampler look" I swear I'll buy every scrap in the store!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had even an ounce of the talent that you have Belinda! These tuffets are amazing! I adore that blue and cream one. They look like they'd be so time consuming. Do they take long to complete?
ReplyDeleteI really like these pincushions....I have to make one!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and so practical. They look great.
ReplyDeleteTaffy

ReplyDeleteThanks for the nudge. Your pincushions are sweet, thanks for sharing.
