Sewing from the Stash

Posted on August 2, 2022August 2, 2022

My stash has been growing and it was time to start sewing from the stash instead of helping the economy by buying new fabric. I love supporting the economy but I’m running out of storage room. So I went rumaging around in my stash until I saw some fabric that I had found at the…

Low Volume Neutral Quilt: A Scrappy Irish Chain

Posted on February 13, 2022February 16, 2022

I finished my last low volume neutral scrap quilt about a week ago. It used up most of my light 2.5″ squares. And then, I made the mistake of looking at the 2″ square box just full of neutrals. What to do with these I pondered? I remembered I had some 9 patches with darks…

As I mentioned in my last post I started a low volume quilt top. As I’m all about the bright colours that’s something different for me to attempt to make. I did include a bit of a colour pop as I couldn’t imagine the entire quilt being subdued. That’s just not me. I’m all about…
