Bee Happy ~ Pincushion Parade Blog Hop ~ Day 13 from Life in the Scrapatch

Here is my

Summer Star Pincushion for the

Day 13 of the Pincushion Parade Blog Hop

This is a free pattern from

DayBrook Designs

Today was a day of sunshine and shadow so I chose ...

... uplifting blue and yellow fabrics for the front ...

... and a calm blue steel grunge for the back.

I needed to seek solace in my sewing corner

and to remind myself

that there are some things that I cannot change

but when life is broken, I can pick up the pieces,

sew something that makes me smile,

and go forward.

May you and yours Bee Happy ...

I really enjoyed this one as it used up some small scraps,
mostly Handmade fabrics by Bonnie & Camille.

The raw edge applique heart is a scrap of an Amanda Herring fabric.

I tucked a ball of polyfil in just before I closed the applique.
This may be my favorite ...

Rainy Days and Quilting Never Bring Me Down from Life in the Scrapatch

It was a gray and rainy day here today, a good day to stay in and quilt.

I finished the quilting on my

Chloe Pattern Test Quilt for DayBrook Designs

Those last stitches are always sew sweet!

Katniss was my Quilty Kitty Helper of the Day.

The little kitties were both napping on the quilt on my bed most of the day.

Here is a closeup of the quilting.

I did an edge to edge, hand guided large swirl,

which is my favorite go-to design for free motion quilting.

I never get tired doing this one

Scraps ~ Before and After from Life in the Scrapatch

This what my sewing table looked like this morning.

These are all scraps and cut-offs and left over fabric from piecing my quilt top.

There were several large pieced triangles that were cut away during the sewing

due to the piecing method and a small pile of strips.

This is my completed top for my

Daylily Chloe Quilt

Sew trimmed and I sewed the extra pieces together into scrap blocks.

This is my scraps after sewing ... the small pile in the upper right.

I made a long strip of scrap blocks for making a pieced back to my quilt

and ...

The center of my Chloe pattern test quilt top is done.

While the sun was shining I took it outside for a few photos

while I enjoyed a cup of coffee on my backyard swing.

This is for a pattern that will be released soon at

DayBrook Designs

Back inside in the evening, Maestro and I are deciding our border options.

Because I am running short on one of my stash fabrics, I will need to make a design option.

Maestro and I are thinking wide green border and the perwinkle blue for the binding.

Our concept for this quilt ...
