KAREN SHARES HER STUNNING QUILT

Last week while at the Attic Window Quilt Shop, Karen showed us a quilt that she made.  As I remember she said she made this quilt for the West Michigan Quilters Guild challenge.  It is awesome.  She chose to use the letter G and make this stunning giraffe quilt.  As you will see everything on the quilt is "Giraffe."

 We were in awe by all the thought that Karen put into making this quilt.  Click on the picture for a closer look.

 If you look closely, every bit of fabric on this quilt contains a giraffe.  Check out the sun.

 Even the tree trunk is giraffe and each flower petal is a giraffe.

 Even the little pins on the giraffe are giraffes.

Here is a close-up of the flower.  Check out that flower center.

Karen this quilt is fantastic and we can't get over all the work and thought and planning that you put into making this quilt.  Thanks for sharing with us!

WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR SCRAPS

This quilt is my latest finish and will be donated to the Charity group at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  It is made all from scraps.  Took me forever to cut those 2 1/2" squares.  And I still have a ton of them left.

 And it barely made a dent in this scrap pile.  I hate to throw fabric out, consequently I save every little scrap.  Since I do applique, I might need that little piece for a flower or leaf.

However, this weekend I decided these scraps are getting out of control.  I had to do something.  So I sorted a few by color and...

...made these two blocks for another charity quilt.  I love making fabric!  And I love sewing.  I find it relaxes me.  Sewing keeps me sane and has helped me through many a difficult time. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend.  I'm off to tackle that scrap pile.
