Crumb Quilts and another Give Away !

Today on Pleasant Home, we have our last featured blogger and featured tutorial for our month long Sew Scraps Along!

Today I'm pleased to have Andrea from Knitty Bitties as a guest...


Andrea's featured Tutorial is this Simply Fantastic little project she made with her fabric crumbs!
What are Fabric Crumbs? You ask..... Well Andrea and I just happen to both think - they are your Fabric Scraps that are less than a Charm Square (5" x 5").

The littlest, itsiest, bitsiest Fabric Scraps that you "could" actually sew with.

Here is a little bit of my crumbs....

And here are the 5"x5" blocks I made using Andrea's Tutorial and my Fabric Crumbs... Tomorrow I'll share my finished project with you.

A little birdie told me that not only does Andrea have an awesome tutorial on her blog, she's GIVING AWAY a great little stack of Fabric!!! So hurry on over to take a look at Andrea's Project and enter to win! :)

Happy Scrappy Sewing.... ooxx`jodi

Wow--I can't believe the month is nearly over! :( So much inspiration, so many new blogs to visit, so much fun! THank you for organizing it! Hopefully, I will have many more scraps by next year! LOL I am still working on my picnic quilt--using it as a leaders and enders project.

Now off to check out the crumbs tutorial!

I love this color combo.

I hate to see the month end as I have so enjoyed your blog about scraps this month. I bought one of the books that you suggested and I'm cutting all my scraps like the book suggests. This has been fun Jodi!

Becky said...

I agree - Best Month ever in blogland. So many pretties! So many ideas!

We're making these blocks at church, in an upcoming Quilt-a-Thon. We call them "Ezekiel blocks" based on the Bible story of the Holy Spirit blowing breath into dry bones (scraps) and restoring them to life (fabric). We have a great time making such quilts and will be giving them to a pediatric intensive care unit.

Thanks. I'm heading to her blog now.

Such a cute little mat and great idea for the washer. I hate all the goo that ends up underneath the bottles of soap on top of my washer. Using this when it looks gross it can just be tossed into the load with other stuff to clean it again.

Ellyn said...

I just took a "crumb" class yesterday & made 18 crumb blocks! fun fun fun (even moreso when 10 ladies all throw their crumbs in one big bucket!)

I am looking for theme in my scrap basket to pretty up my laundry room this afternoon.

These crumb quilts come out so cute!

I love making crumb blocks. To me they are like potato chips, you can't make just one. I have a HUGE box full of crumb blocks I have made, but never quite knew what I wanted to do with them. It never occurred to me to frame them with a solid color. Wow! The things you learn in blog land.
