New hand work

Just about to finish appliqueing the last of my Sunbonnet Sue blocks, so I need something new to do by hand. A very long time ago I experimented with a tea leaf (orange peel?) block, so thought I'd get some of that ready to do. Here is the first block I made forever ago and some new pieces I cut out yesterday.


See the little squares? Another forever ago I found some neat stamps "By Kate". They are for stamping on fabric and then cutting out to piece. I bought these squares (1.5 " and .5 ") and also a hexagon.

They are really pretty fun! Not as fast as rotary cutting, but when you have a really irregularly shaped scrap piece it can be a pain to try and rotary cut.

The stamping is fun and I enjoy sitting and cutting with scissors sometimes.

See all the fun fabs I found in my scrapbox???

This is my favorite piece. Most of my scraps are teeny tiny. Still haven't decided how to use those up yet. One of these days I might be able to throw them away. Ha!!
