Like a lot of quilters, I have a lot of scraps. I enjoy working with them but don't do so often enough. Here's a few recent projects I've been working on:
Apple potholders, a pattern from the book Scrap Happy Sewing. I love how they came out. The insulated batting shifted a lot within the project, but that was the only trouble I had in making these:
I had the perfect backing fabric:
This is the last project I completed recently in completing the decorating of my sewing room. The mat and frame came from a yard sale and I spray painted the mat bright pink. The mat was originally a dark, dusty blue. Sorry about the poor picture- it was difficult to photograph.
To fill in the letters, I simply glued scraps of my favorite sewing themed collection, Sew Yummy, to the back of the mat.
Over the weekend I started working on another scrappy project, more details (and hopefully a finish) coming later this week:

Cute hotpads!
These are super sweet! I'm especially heavy on my green scraps and this would make a nice dent in them. Granny Smith always were my favorite!

Cute apple potholders!! My kitchen is decorated in apples so I need to look for the pattern or book or just wing it. Thanks for the inspiration. Karen
