So it was HOT and HUMID this weekend in Upstate NY. I didn't want to do anything on Sunday except stay close to the air conditioner. Since there was nothing nagging at my mind to work on, I decided to start something new!
I went to the Paducah Quilt Show in April for the first time. One of my purchases was from the THANGLES booth. It's a Block of the Month Sampler in ITTY BITTY pieces. So I pulled out a collection of fat eighths that I had been saving for a special project. Best Press on all the pieces (I've heard this is REALLY helpful when doing miniatures) and started cutting!

ReplyDeleteSo cool! I love miniatures. I have a pattern waiting in a drawer for my attention. So glad you shared the tip about starching the fabric first! (Wish I could use Best Press - it's really nice - but I'm totally allergic to something in it.)
ReplyDeleteSuper tiny and super cute! Look at precise your points are! I didn't realize the Thangles came in such a small size - I've seen the bigger ones. Happy sewing! And thanks for sharing this on Main Crush Monday. :)
