Fab Fabric Bowls

I made a couple fabric bowls years and years ago, and finally got around to making them again after being inspired by some I saw last weekend. After many hours of wrapping 1/2 inch wide fabric strips around cording, and only about 20 minutes per bowl sewing, I have my first 2 bowls! 

Sorry for the crummy pics--can't find my digital camera after our trip for Christmas, so snapped these with my cell phone. Better IMPERFECT than not doing it at all, right? 

Maybe I'll try some coasters next, or even an area rug?  Great way to use scraps!

Something Traditional

I don't post my traditional quilting stuff here too often, but this is a new project that I just started. It is all out of scraps, the squares measure 1.5 inches finished, so they are fairly small. There are 56 pieces per 12 x 12 inch block if I counted correctly. So, this quilt might take awhile to finish! I've been cutting up all of my tan, brown, hunter green, dark turquoise and dark teal fabrics while watching T.V. Friday and Saturday nights. I am hoping to have enough for a queen size quilt, and will just stop making blocks when either I run out of fabric, or lose interest! I am trying to use up some of my fabric scraps that are taking up precious space, but that I can't bear to throw away.
