The Quilted Ducks Hit The City Streets Before They Get Binding On

A special thanks to Kathleen for taking some fun time to play and take this photo of the ducks playing in some graffiti covered alley's in the city of Buffalo.

The ducks are finished up and all quilted I will add the Binding tonight and Saturday they will be gifted off to some great friends that will soon have the 1st born to enjoy it.

I loved Creating This.

Part 2 Of More Sulky Class Post here & There To Come Home and Emotional High Physically Drained

I will be adding more posts here and there as I go along at this time I am home from the best 3 days in my sewing yet. Had a super blast in Ohio sewing away and meeting awesome new sewing friends. 

These posts are broken up due to the fact I was a walking zombie when I got home and this is the mess I left myself to clean up and reset up my room. Plus work had to take place to bring me back into the reality of daily life. I promise to be posting more and more as I go along! This pic will show I need some clean up organizing time first. 

I have to add a fun sewing pic from the week so here is one of 10 projects we did it was just on the top so easy access to grab take pic and post up. I think I impressed myself as well as loved this project.  Any feedback good bad or indifferent to help my improvement muchly accepted.

Recycled or Re-purposing Fabrics & Some Stash Busting Bag Fun

Sometimes being creative means to let go of the hype surrounding the commercialism part of the craft and bust out the old fashion way with whats laying around. 

The above is a design from a Lunchbox embroidery set I got. this was the first block of many to come that involve almost all recycling of fabrics. I love new beautiful fabrics and all however I love sewing  and experimenting  so much that using less expensive or free sources of fabrics is the way to go for somethings too.  The Denim background is from old jeans and the black body of the applique is from an old tee shirt and the pink skull dress is a very inexpensive fussy cut fun remnant piece.  I am planing more stuff like this too. 

Also there is a time that stash busting is a good thing too and I wanted to try some raw edge improvisational applique so I looked around and found a viking shopping bag cut the seams out and made it lay flat  (another recycle) ready  to use as my foundation and busted into an already opened  jelly roll and just went to town.  See Pic

I now have the top finished and the skull yellow fabric is something I have laying around in my stash that  I will be using for the liner. I maybe adding some embroiderer to this too and redoing the handles.  I will keep you all updated as it takes more form and shape.
