Celebrating International Quilting Day

I celebrated International Quilting Day yesterday by hauling out my oldest flimsy.

I made this trip around the world top nearly a decade ago.

I decided yesterday to take it in a different direction.

I machine quilted it in the pumpkin seed pattern.

Here's the back.

And then I cut it up.

These are the bits leftover

and these are the two shapes I cut out

Here are the results:

Two bags to cover up the bed of a

Singer Featherweight when it is in the case,

like this:

Or to use as a thread catcher.

One for me, and one for a friend.

I'm happy to have made something useful

out of an old flimsy.

 

Hope you had a great day.
