Oh My, I Think This Quilty Thing May Have Gone Too Far! and Tidbits

Seen on Facebook

Good day all. Have you ever had a thought, a peculiar thought,  about what to do with those orphan blocks cluttering up your sewing area? Well here is one you can cross off your list. While I do not wish to offend, this is a mistake, a really big mistake.

Not to be totally irrelevant today I wanted to share this little tidbit I found while cruising the blogs.  A guideline for those who donate quilts to different charities. I do not know the source of this information but I think the sizing seems very appropriate. Thought you might be interested. Have a lovely stitching day. It is quite cold here, I think I will plan my Christmas quilts, and light a fire, and pour a nice strong cup of tea. Is it really July?

  • become the center of another quilt
  • placemats
  • cosmetic bags
  • needle cases
  • tea wallets
  • eye glass cases
  • lingere bag for travel
  • journal cover
  • mug rugs
  • tree ornaments
  • sewing machine mat/or/caddy
  • lining for bag or tote
  • jewelry keeper
  • handkerchief keeper
  • roll up keeper for crochet hooks or knitting needles
  • and so forth.........

Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this website.
It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's challenging to get that "perfect balance"
between user friendliness and visual appearance.

I must say you have done a awesome job with
this. In addition, the blog loads super fast for me on Internet
explorer. Superb Blog!
