Or Bit Past Mid Month
I have been in my sewing room.....lots of smallish starts and finishes.
Some of you may remember the crumb project I mentioned early in the month. It ended up being 36 X 24.
It has a premade cover that is of a loosely woven white fabric and it fits very tight. I think, every time I try to put it on, that I am going to break a seam open or worse yet stick my finger through the fabric.
So I decided to make a cover for it that would fit it closed or open. Mr Busy and I share two rooms in the basement that were originally bedrooms. He builds with balsa wood. Lots of sawing and sanding. Lots of sawdust etc. I have a cover for my machine and the cutter needed one too. The crumb slab ( scraps from my cutting table and some donated wedges from a friend) was backed with a very ugly striped sheet. Quilted with my go-to serpentine stitch, but no batting. It is flimsy but not heavy. Then bound in yellow, of course.
It's got plenty of hang over when the cutter is closed.!
And it covers it completely when it is open. It could have been a bit shorter. But too big is better than not big enough, right?
a peek at the ugly sheet fabric on the back.
And a closer look at the square on the front. It's a Yellow Duck walking in the April Rain with a green and Yellow Umbrella.
So I am entering this as my challenge piece for April Yellow Table Scraps Challenge with an Umbrella!! I will link up with The Joyful Quilter on the 26th of the month when Joy posts her link up party.
Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful!
I should probably try to make a few more zipper blocks for April’s 🌼🌼 RSC color, before the month is over. I have a large quilt to get to the quilter. There will be a post about that on Friday.

Its perfect!! what a super fun way to use those crumbs
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea to make the cover for your cutter. I love the little duck and umbrella, super cute.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty solution and so much better than that tight one! And it is protected from dust. Love the little duck.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea for using up some colorful crumbs and making something you'll get a lot of use out of! I love the little duck block, too. And I agree, a little big is definitely better than too small!
ReplyDeleteLove the little duckie with his umbrella. Great job.
ReplyDeleteGotta love a functional challenge entry, Judy! Way to rock the theme!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to use theme and scraps to finish with a useful item - and a very cute one at that too.
