red scraps


 tiny red scraps in the bin.... sew one to another, keep going, tiny or up to 1" wide, over and over 

layer that with a scrap of batting, and scrap of computer fabric for backing, then quilt
backing
In my head I was making this for my friend Pat in NY...  every stitch thinking of her, but using the tiny scraps saved over the years

bind in navy, fold in half it could hold a notebook... or be a needle holder... 
or a mug rug. Tiny chef, flowers, stars bagel dots, checks, stripes, baseball.... 
colorful, small at 6.5 X 9" 

Pat and I share so much, love of sewing and scraps,  flowers, reading, laughter, and she has made my life so much nicer by being my friend through the years. We meet on phones or computers but are still close. 


It could be a change purse, mug rug, needle book, notebook cover, anything she likes. 
I hope she'll like it 

The color scrap of the month at Rainbow scrap challenge is red, and on a walk I saw this
colorful set of mushrooms made from bowls on wood
