New Scarves!!!

It’s been a long week, and it’s only Wednesday! Although, you must all be thinking… Eric, how can it be a long week when you have such a gorgeous scarf collection??? Well, you’ve got me there! I actually made all of these before Christmas, but but distracted with that stupid Brid Flu… I will never look at birds the same again!

Anyways, click below to check out my new Star Wars scarf! It comes in a couple different colors, and I think everyone will approve!

My Latest Project: “A Prayer For Zachary”

You all remember the scarves I made from scraps I’ve been posting about, well here is a quilt in the same vein. I sewed some squares I had from previous projects together into 25″ squares, then took a bunch of scraps I had and started sewing them down onto the panels.

Busting My Scrap Pile!!!

I have all of these scraps from the commissions I used to do. At first, I figured I would make one last Zelda quilt to sell, but decided to do something else with them. I’m working on a project called “A Prayer”. I’m not ready to say who the prayer is for, but as soon as I am, I’ll tell you the full name of the quilt. Until then, just enjoy all of the lovely green fabric I have lying around!

2018: The Year I Tackle My Scraps…

That’s my goal for the year! I’m hitting my scrap pile hard! I started making some of those simple scrap scarves using water soluble stabilizer. It’s been a blast! I’ll admit, it takes a while to do all that sewing, but it’s totally worth it. Besides, is mostly mindless sewing, so at least it goes by quickly.

Here are some close ups before and after I washed one, and some of a red/purple/brown one I’m making tonight…
