Step two in Randy’s
(Barrister’s Block) Bullseye sew-a-long. I have never done raw edge applique
before and I am enjoying the challenge.
A while ago I got an e-mail
from a fantastic garment designer in Portland, Maine, Jill McGowan. She said
she had bags of scraps from her clothing line and wanted them to know if our
quilt group could use them. Not being one to decline any fabric (free or not) I
went down to the city. When I walked through the door there were mountains of
scraps in large clear plastic bags. Which ones do you want me to take, I asked?
ALL of them she said – whoa! I filled (and I mean so full that I was afraid of
being stopped for obstruction of visibility) my Jetta wagon to the brim. I
passed them out at our next meeting. Well. My friend Christina is making a dent
in her bag. Here is a little Lucy Boston block she made with some of the
fabrics. Hopefully there will be more to show in the future. Thanks Jill and
Tina!
OMG...love Christina's block!! Just lovely! Your Barrister blocks are wonderful too!

ReplyDeleteWhat a haul! Great to see it in such a beautiful project.
ReplyDeletebeautiful...i'll send you my phone #....LOL
ReplyDeleteWow--that's a LOT of fabric! Is it all cotton?
ReplyDeleteThey knew a good home for fabrics from the cutting room - fabulous!
ReplyDeleteMore circles! Fun! Do you have a die to cut them out?
ReplyDeleteNope, just cut by hand. It is supposed to be freewheeling and sort of funky. It has been a challenge but fun!

ReplyDeleteMost us have had the experience of purchasing a gym bag at some point in our lives. Whether it is one we have picked out for ourselves, our spouses or for our children it was likely purchased for a specific purpose. The truth about gym bags is that while they may be designed for specific uses, they are great bags for a multitude of activities.

Wow! That Lucy Boston has a lot of pizzazz! Good haul on the fabrics. If you need to, you can always donate some to your local Girl Scout Troops.
ReplyDeleteActually, what didn't get used by our group went to a local group home for their craft room. I think we overloaded them!
DeleteWow...lucky youuuu !
ReplyDeleteLike everyone, I love the Lucy Boston block ! And your circles blocks are gorgeous !
Great work Wendy !
It's hard to say no to free fabric. Sounds like you hit the mother lode!
ReplyDeleteNice beginning to your bullseye quilt. Hopefully I'll push myself to start one soon. The Country Threads ladies who came up with the process live just 30 minutes from my home. So it's kind of a local thing to make one.
Love the free fabric and the colorful block.
ReplyDeleteOh how I love good free fabric! What fun must have been in those bags.
ReplyDeleteHi, I've made once a bulls eye quilt. It is so fun to make! Enjoy
