I think I am! :-) but maybe not as much as I could be! LOL
When I saw the
Nabby's Dowry Sew-Along, Pam Buda @ Heartspun Quilts is hosting~ I jumped right in! I love making mini quilts! But thennnnn... I saw that we needed 162 HST's! :-o Say what??!! Ok, it gave me pause, but then I thought about just printing off some
Triangulations sheets and doing some mindless sewing. ;-) I cut the sheets into smaller sections so I would get more variety in my scrappy HST's. It was pretty quick work! I sewed the pieces and rotary cut them apart, then while watching TV last night (Rizzoli and Isles!) I finger pressed then apart and took off the papers. The secret to easily removing the papers is to set your stitch length small. ;-) It worked like a charm and all my HST's are finished and ready for the next step on July 12th. {I just love using Triangulations, but this isn't an advertisement for them~ they probably don't even know how much I love their product!}
Since I was on such a happy roll, I thought~ hey! why not go really crazy and try them with the
Temecula Quilt Co's Cakestand Basket summer challenge? These little buggers finish at just 2 inches each!! :-o Yeah, I am crazy! But aren't they just cutest?
I'm a little behind as we need to do one a day for July, but with my handy dandy little triangle papers, I will catch up fast. And the best part for these little guys? The seam allowances are already cut down for me. :-) Sewing them together was really easy!
I'm headed back to my sewing~
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!
