Cute Cute Cute ((And repurposed!))

LOVE LOVE LOVE how other quilters put things together that I would never have thought of!

I’ve got these hanging trash bags made in cute novelty fabrics and things like that…..

But being a mother of SONS….oh, do they EVER have Jeans with blown out knees ---

What a cute idea to turn an old pair of jeans that have seen better days into a cute catch all for taking to class!

I love how the pocket can old things like scissors, seam ripper, etc….maybe even a cell phone?

Pencils, pens..maybe a ruler?

What would YOU put in those pockets?

Another pocket was simply cut close to the seam lines, stuffed with sand and stitched closed at the top!  Hems or belt loops make the hanging straps!

iPhone-o-Gram! Pineapple Blossoms in St Charles!!

32 machines – 32 quilters all sewing away in St. Charles Illinois! Today we are working on pineapple Blossom blocks, and having a great time while focusing on finding the sweet spot for our perfect quarter-inch seem, marking lines for perfectly sized bonus triangles, and sewing up the scraps!

It's a beautiful Monday afternoon – and we couldn't be happier than to be spending this time together making new friends, strengthening old friendships – and spending the day together :-)
