My 2 friends came over for a day of sewing and lunch out yesterday. I worked on several things, none far enough along to take photos. Last night while watching TV I went through my pieces and parts drawers and pulled out everything that is a potential mug rug top.
A lot of them just need one or two more strips added to be large enough to square up.
Most of the pieces are made of batik fabric.
I would say that most of these pieces were made between 3 and 6 years ago.
I will probably work on these in the evening and my other larger projects during the day. I'll show some more pieces and parts tomorrow.
wow...some time ago i asked about the colorwashes...today i googled and without exxageration (?) yours are the most in the eye springing. i'm sorting out on colors and must be patient. my big heroe is Jude Hill do you know her?
Isn't it fun to use up the smaller stuff and make into something useful. Creative minds at work all the time. Chris
ReplyDeleteI bet you use every scrap you ever cut!! The blocks are so pretty too!
ReplyDeleteThose are some beautiful pieces and parts! they will make great mug rugs!
ReplyDeleteWe are thinking alike Wanda!! I've been working with batiks on mug rugs too! Your pieces are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWanda, do you iron the seams open on those little pieces and parts? or just press them to one side as you sew?
ReplyDeleteIt is funny how we save pieced parts not knowing what will become of them. Then one day, we say "I will make....."
ReplyDeleteThose will be delightful.
These are beautiful pieces. I particularly like the strings.

ReplyDeleteNice batik pieces! You can make so called portrait quilting where some face is visible through the pattern of small pieces!
