Another Flower Wallhanging

    I made myself a flower wallhanging for spring.  I used more scraps and I was amazed that I found enough fabric for the background and backing.  

Spring Flowers Applique

   I wanted to make a spring flower wall hanging for dear daughter.  I haven't made a lot of spring decor items, and she needs something for a large wall.  

   I didn't like any of the flower blocks that I found so I drew a petal shape and cut out eight for each flower. I also cut some bias binding for stems and a few leaf shapes.  

   I didn't use any heat and bond on the pieces.  I used a school glue stick (I know, I railed against using glue for basting but with all the little pieces of this, the glue worked) to lightly baste each piece.  It held very well and I applique it all down, quilted it and put on the binding.  

    I worked on it for about 7 hours over 3 days.  So worth it.  Oh, and I used all fabric and batting from stash.  I also added two hanging triangles at the top before sewing the binding on. Each block is 10 inches square.  So it finished at 10 inches wide x 30 inches long.

Tabby Road Fabric

    I found a yard of Tula Pink's Tabby Road fabric and I bought it from an etsy shop.  I fell in love with the pretty colors and the psychedelic kitty cat.  I planned to make zipper pouches and a pillow cover with it.

    I made four zipper pouches with the fabric, two had gray smokey vinyl bodies.  I had the vinyl in my stash and used it.

   My pillow cover is here.  

Christmas Gifts Made

   I made some quilted Zipper pouches, a couple of short scarves, and a cross stitch decoration.  I found the cross stitch pattern in a magazine and I added the holly leaves and berries at the bottom.

    

Another Project From Stash and One Made With Inexpensive Fabric

   While I was looking through my yarn stash for gift project yarn I found this giant ball of Robin's egg blue yarn that I bought years ago for some project or other but never made.  I didn't even print a pattern for the project I bought this yarn for, so I'm going to knit this up into ear warmers and scarves.  I'm going to knit until I use all this yarn up.

 The other project I made was this Christmas tree wallhanging.  I drew this tree years ago and made a large wallhanging with it using a different green fabric for each tree.  I crowded 13 trees on that piece.  I love that wallhanging.  The older wallhanging was done in landscape orientation.  I wanted a smaller one in portrait orientation.  I bought $8 worth of fabric from Walmart.   That was all I needed to make this.  

Secret Christmas Gifts

   I only give Christmas gifts to dear daughter and they are usually very small and inexpensive.  I give her big gifts on her birthday.  

   This year I'm making her all homemade gifts.  I've been sewing, cross stitching, and knitting for the past two weeks.  Using lots of supplies from my stash.  In fact, the only items I was a new bottle of glue to finish a project and an inexpensive accessory to go with the gifts.  

   Love that I'm using up fabric, zippers, ribbon, embroidery floss, cross stitch fabric, and yarn that I had just sitting around.  I almost wish I had more time because I have a couple of other ideas of things to make with supplies from stash.
