December mini(s) 2019 finale

After making all 12 projects (cut from forty 10” squares) from Pam Buda’s, “Vintage Patchwork”, I found that I still had quite a few scraps leftover. So… I gathered up some extra background pieces and made this little quilt. 

After a bit of late night stitching, I had to do a little “unstitching”!
It finally came together and sent it off to Pam as a thank you for writing such a fun book.

But… I still had some pesky little pieces that begged to be stitched together, so… I whipped up 2 little mug rugs.
One went to Janet (Rogue Quilter) who has made many fabulous quilts from Pam’s patterns and the other went to Randy (Barrister’s Block) who joined me in making many of the quilts from the book.

And now… this is all that is left of those forty 10” squares! 

I want to thank all of you who followed along with us this year in our merry mini making!

And, to those mini makers - past and present - who have made a few fabulous minis this year as well: 
Pat (Thoughts From Taylors Outback)
Pablo Picasso says, “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away”.

I have donated or gifted so many of the minis I have made in the past 2 years that I am going to continue this monthly mini quilt craziness for another year. I love having a stockpile of mini quilts in reserve for that special “gift” occasion or for an organization in need of a small auction item.

All are welcome to join in at any time.

  1. Great little quilt, Wendy! And excellent work using up all those bits of fabric. A concept I know well, lol! (I can see a wonky coaster out of the rest of the scraps...)

  2. What a lovely little bonus quilt creation! And I've "been there, done that" on the late night sewing boo-boo. So sweet of you to gift the final product to Pam--she will treasure it!
    Oh, my goodness, I knew I had forgotten something I was going to say in my late post last night. My new mug rug is already busy in my sewing room, next to my featherweight, and I forgot to post about it. I love it!
    It has been fun sewing along on this mini journey and I will be happy to join in once again. Much of the year this was all I accomplished and it was a good motivator to help me get any finishes, however small. Besides, I'd be making minis anyway, and you know that. :)

  4. It's amazing all that you've made with those forty squares, plus the extra ones you designed. What are you going to do with the little bits left over? Are you done? You've kept many of us motivated and each month it has been fun to see what others have created.

  5. What a sweet little quilt and mug rugs! Enjoyed seeing what you've made with those 40 squares. They certainly went a long way. I'll try and keep up making minis this year but we have some major changes coming :) Happy New Year, Wendy!

There is no risk of getting caught by any form of security if you followed the instructions properly. The Blank ATM card is also sophisticated due to the fact that the card has its own security making your transaction very safe and untraceable. i am not a stupid man that i will come out to the public and start saying what someone have not done.

  10. You are so sweet and generous! I didn't realize that book made quilts out of one layer cake. It is so funny that at the beginning of 2019, I expected to make lots of minis - just stop when I was ready, but in reality, I wound up wanting to make my minis bigger.

  12. Wendy, I love my mug rug!! Thanks so much. And I'm so delighted that you are going to continue the monthly mini challenge. It really did motivate me to get something done each month. I did also enjoy the Pam Buda book and the many quilts in it. I gifted my book to Will in Paris so she'll hopefully enjoy the projects as well.!
    Congrats on the new baby. How amazing that Mollie gave birth on the same day that you gave birth to your son!! As we say, Mazel Tov!!

  16. I was married for 12 years and early april during the pandemic, my husband decided he wanted a divorce. When I met my husband 13 yrs ago and the way he felt about me and how he adored me how every one would tell me how much this man loves me, i felt we were going to spend the rest of our lives together. We had three beautiful boys, I miss them more as each day rolls on even though I see them regularly. Its been almost 9 months and I cried every night and not one day goes by that I don't think about him. He posted a picture on facebook of him and a different lady and he acted like nothing ever happened. I was alone and in a lot of pain until I found the Azaka Spell Temple email online. I told him my problem and he did helped me cast a Love spell, and that was it. In just 24 hours after the spell casting, my ex husband who has not talked to me for almost 9 months called for us to be together again. This spell is 100% effective. I am happy because my husband is back home and my marriage is restored again. If you are going through similar issues, you can also reach him for help on his Email azakaspelltemple@gmail.com or Whatsapp: +2349059389105
