Kennel Kuilts

At least that's what I call them . Using up some fleece squares that I had on hand.
They are for an animal shelter to give the kittens some love.

Weekend stitching

This weekend I was stitching up a few more masks to have on hand. I have been making 2 styles. Pleated and fitted, in sizes 2 to 5 yrs, 6 to 10 yrs and adult and large adult.  I have been giving them to people in our community.Finding new ways for the elastic as it is hard to find. I have also used bias binding, and cutting fabric strips as well as trying t shirt knit fabric and making crochet chains for ties. This has been a nice way to give back and work down some of my leftover fabrics.

And just to keep my hands busy and work up some yarn I have started a knitting a sweater using a raglan sleeve sweater wheel that I bought about 40yrs ago...... sounds like I'm getting old....lol.  It's been a great source as it gives you choices of yarn from baby, sport to worsted. And the size range  from 6 months to man's 48 chest. Styles from round neck , v neck and cardigan.
This is the back children size 8.

Sweater back 

I have a couple quilts at the machine for free motion quilting , just have to decide how or what design I want to stitch next.

And as I have said to my boys..... May the 4th be with you!
Stay safe in stitches

Sewing on a roll.....

Sew to speak.
Yesterday I cut up 3 half yard/meter fabrics into 2 1/2 inch strips , cut leftover batting into 2 1/4 inch strips. Dug out my jelly roll rug pattern and away I went. On the last round I made a hanging loop. This on is for my daughter and son in law for the bathroom and when not in use it will hang on the back of the door. Good idea dear.

Other than this I did manage to get a few quilt tops basted and ready to quilt. I cut out a few more masks and cut up more scrap batting into strips for more rugs.

Always something to do when you have fabric :-)
