Scrappy Makes Me Happy!

I have finished hooking this small round mat - it is 15" across - and I hope to find a small stool or chair for it next weekend when I attend the Antique Show. I love how scrappy it turned out!


And today I stitched up this little piece by following Pam Buda's SAL instructions. It was fun to do some quick sewing after hooking exclusively for many days. Notice that this is very scrappy too!

It was very easy to find the ingredients for this project since I have these three containers in my studio full of 1-1/2" squares. One of dark, one of light, and one of HSTs.

    Both your projects turned out great. Am glad to know I'm not the only person who saves small scraps for future projects

    Your little cat paws chair pad rug turned out fantastic and matches the the quilt square perfectly. It would make a great pillow.

    have a great day.

    Makes me happy to see your scrap projects, too!
    Wonderful little rug. Hope you find just the right stool for it.
    Good job on Tucker. The more I see of everyone else's, the more I wonder if I should unpick mine.

    Your little hooked mat is beautiful, Gayle. I love the bright colors with a touch of black. Maybe you can find a place of honor for it so many people can enjoy its beauty?!

    And your little quilt looks almost like a mate to the rug. It's bright, happy, and cheerful. I've been following Tucker and cut some squares but haven't sewn a stitch on it yet. I hope it make it, though, and maybe one of Lori's quilt-along quilts. I've never sewn a small quilt. I suppose one has to be super accurate!
