Breast Cancer Awareness Pincushion



This week the theme is pink.  I really wasn't motivated to do much this week, but I had to finish something.  One of the ladies in the guild made this simple pin cushions this week. So of course I found my item.  The pattern is the Sprocket pin cushion by Diary of a  Quilter.  It's made with leftover scraps of breast cancer fabric. So here is a cute Pink finish!!

Only One Way For This Year to go!!


If you know me, you know I have a love for scraps and selvedges.  Well, that leads me to my ONE.  There is only one way I want this year to go, the one year of scraps!! So I created this bag, the front is made of selvedges, one block, that can be read one way!! 



I pulled out the one bag of scraps from my last selvedge quilt to use one focus fabric.  But then I thought it needed a little more.  Next up, came the One box of Kaffe Scraps that I knew would blend right in! 



I quilted up a panel made from scraps with the same color as the focus fabric. Then used some scrap batting to sandwich it and quilt it with straight lines.  Added a vinyl pocket to one side with a zipper. 



Then a big pocket on the other for the pattern or pricked to go in.  I kinda now regret I didn't add a closer, but now that's a lesson for the next one!  My big one project done and on to the next one!!  Made for project quilting challenge one, 2023!
