Hearts and More...It's Been a Scrappy Week

This week I didn't get to the Christmas quilt, nor the part 2 of Moda Blockheads. I did however make some more luggage tags using scraps, one for each of us for when we cruise next. I changed it a little bit from last week and think I will change it a little more next time.

I finished a few more scrappy hearts....

... and turned them into hanging hearts.

I made a few more butterflies. I almost have enough to make a small quilt now.

I used some left over batting and some more purple scraps to make some coasters. That was fun and quick to make.

Only did a little bit of hand stitching this week. I added some of last years focus cutting blocks to the lap quilt I started last year.

Purple Scraps

Have you noticed a lot of purple this month? As I get back into more regular home sewing, I pulled out my purple scraps to use as leaders/enders for my sewing as purple is the March colour for RSC.

With a lot of strips I decided to make some hearts. I used a scrap-booking template to make a large and small heart using photocopy paper as I've run out of freezer paper. I find it works just as well.

While sewing I needed to make a luggage tag for little Miss Mackenzie for school ... and purple is her favourite colour. Convenient.

I am happy with how it turned out and plan to make some more this week. Maybe in different colours.

This coming week I plan to also quilt a Christmas picnic quilt that I started last October - at least it will be finished by next Christmas; and get a start of catching up on ModaBlockHeads5 part 2.
