Are you a seasonal sewer/stitcher? I am, not sure why, I enjoy sewing and stitching but must admit I have more time for it in the fall and winter months. And I guess that is ok, I'd love to do more of it and have so many ideas and wants. I found this adorable and easy quilt that got me in the sewing mood early and will be a upcoming sewing project, I want to make one for each of the grandkids and then one for me! Isn't it cute? And only takes four bandannas, I've already bought my first four in pink and purple for my oldest granddaughter. I hope to make the first four for Christmas gifts then work on mine. You can find the tutorial over at I Have to Say, just look on the left sidebar for handmade quilt, a me and my girl tutorial for directions. I'm anxious to start this quilt and kick off my seasonal sewing sessions! How about you?

Seasonal Sewing

Adorable... and what a simple project. Little girls will love this!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! I'm a seasonal seamstress too. I plan to make some more pillows over the next few weeks, and also some prim muslin pumpkins that look so cute (from the pattern pic at least). Keep us posted on your projects, and have fun! -Tammy
ReplyDeleteI'm a seasonal knitter! I only have time to knit during the fall and winter so I know exactly what you mean!
ReplyDeleteCute quilt - I'm not a quilter sadly!
What a cute project! You are all gonna love them!
ReplyDeleteI like to make seasonal things in the fall and winter, too. I haven't started on anything just yet. I started learning to knit last winter, but just couldn't 'get into it' once it warmed up. I'm looking forward to starting on something soon!
Neat project. I think my grandson would enjoy it also. He loves his blankies. Thanks for sharing the tutorial. Karen
ReplyDeleteCute quilt - I used to have a zillion of those bandanas - in every color you can imagine, I used them for cloth napkins in the spring and easter time - and then we moved to a smaller house and I got rid of a lot of stuff - and those bandanas were one of them - I have kicked myself black and blue since then - they only took up a little space - what WAS I thinking? And now they are spendy. I got them back in the 80s when you could get them for 50 cents each - or less. kick kick kick. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is adorable!! I love it, the colors are great. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute quilt Sue. I think the pink and purple will be adorable. You're such a good grammy to be making gifts for your grandbabies.
ReplyDeleteI'm so looking forward to getting settled in our new place. I'm wanting to simplify a lot. Right now I'm only packing things I know I want to take. It's a small house. Two bedrooms, six people. It will be okay, though. God will make it okay. It's a mansion in a third world country!
Blessings,

Looking forward to Stitching, too.
Oh Sweet Sue! Thanks so much for the link. I've been wanting to make a quilt in lik forever, but just couldn't wrap my head around it. Now I can follow some suggestions on just what to do. You're the best! xxoo
ReplyDeleteI am a seasonal crafter of all the crafts I do, I refuse to crochet or loom knit in the summer...TOO stinking hot..and I generally only make cards in the spring, summer and early fall...sometimes I might make a stray one here and there through the winter...but winter is mostly about crocheting and loom knitting...
ReplyDeleteI love it! I think a waterproof bottom would be great- not sure how my sewing machine would like that.
