January TableScraps Challenge

 

Ready for Table Scraps Challenge 2025?  Hosted by Joy at The Joyful Quilter this is my 5th year of participating in this challenge . If you are interested, Joyful’s actual introduction post is Here, but this year’s  first post is this ONE. Jump in anytime!

In December, Angela from So Scrappy, announced the color for the upcoming month of January as Pink. The Joyful Quilter  gave us this prompt.. WARM BEVERAGE/ANYTHING COZY… It’s Project Quilting season and SAHRR(Stay At Home Round Robin). Yikes I’d better get my ducks in a row!.  

I thought of a mug rug, of course and a table runner, of course. But I wanted something different. So I thought, and worked on pink RSC blocks, and Project Quilting. And thought some more.

One day I was walking by this Christmas Quilt on the extra design wall in the hallway. It’s waiting for it’s appointment with Glenda, (the longarm quilter)    *  Second column  bottom row: 

I had the pattern. 

What about on a gift bag. Yup! That will work. I have been using crumb blocks in my scraps challenges. This time I traced the pattern for the cup and heart on fusible. I use Pellon 805. That is what I have, but there are a lot of different brands. Ironed it to a strip of raspberry solid. Zigzagged around the heart and the cup. Right sides together, I sewed the long sides, Voila! A bag, and I boxed the bottom for this one. A casing  and a dig through my  pink/red ribbon box for 1/8th inch pink ribbon, resulted in this bag. I’ll fill it with cocoa packets, apple cider packets and some herbal tea. 

What do you think?  Cute, huh? 

I’ll link up with The Joyful Quilter.

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful!
