Quilt As You Go!

You may remember 2 mini pouches I made for our Bee Blessed craft fair.

Bee Blessed Craft Table pouches

Well they were made with the leftovers from this ....

I really enjoy the Quilt As You Go (QAYG) method of piecing and quilting all in one go!  It's so satisfying using up scraps and leftover jelly roll strips!  And let's face it, we are always generating more scraps!!

This shopper is of generous proportions, and has an inset zipper closure.  I will be teaching it in class next term, and I'm fairly sure folks will enjoy this technique as much as I do!!

I couldn't resist making a wee matching pouch to go with it!

And in all the hustle and bustle of the pre-exhibition shenanigans, I completely forgot to tell you that I signed up for Rachael's Low Volume Charm swap!  Here are my submissions, which I got from this lovely lady!

Minimalista (Confetti Watermellon); Comma Nigella Multi
2 yards of loveliness all chopped up and delivered.  Now I just have to be patient and wait for a bundle of low volume goodness to make it's way back across Belfast to me!!

    Brilliant shopper. This bag could have a multitude of uses since it'll be nice and sturdy with all that quilting and given its substantial size. I'm thinking knitting/crochet bag, embroidery project bag, book bag, secret chocolate storage ;-) Hope it's a popular class!

    I really like QAYG and the firmness it gives to the item. It is fun to make something out of scraps. Ladies of NI sign up for this class - I wish that I could. Di x

    That'll definitely be a popular class! Like Di, I wish I could sign up for it myself! I just might try a little pouch of my own anyway... They're so incredibly cute!

    This is a lovely tote to be made and so good to use the scraps we all have around. I need to catch up on the QAYG method. I looks fun.

    Judith as always your posts are just undiluted eye candy, the best kind as it doesn't pile on the pounds. Love your pouches & fab tote. Lucky Belfast ladies who will be queuing up for your class x
