Asheville Meals On Wheels Place Mat & Napkin Challenge

 The Challenge 2015 for the 

Asheville Quilt Guild 

 this year was  for the members to create  

500 quilted place mats and napkins

to be given to each of the 

 Asheville Meals on Wheels recipients. 

I chose to combine this with my Scrap Vortex QAL to 

purposefully use my remnants. 

Do the remnants ever really get used up?

Little Hands Sewing From Nana's Scrap Bag

 More fun from Nana's Scrap Bag as 1 year old grandson

"helps" sew his pillowcase too. This cool

wooden spool necklace is interesting...

but what are these buttons here?

Scrap Vortex QAL Pillowcase

 One grandson's pillow case reveal from the Scrap Vortex QAL.

He helped a lot with Side 1

 and since he's 2 -well, 

 I was pretty much on my own during

nap time for Side 2.  No worries. He loves it!

Scrap Vortex QAL With My Little Helpers

 

My 2 Berlin grandsons are visiting while

their parents are in a conference stateside.

Of course, it's time to play in Nana's scrap bag

and create something fun.

So along with their choice of fabrics, 

I continue with a bit of a different direction today 

in the Scrap Vortex QAL with Crazy Mom Quilts.

Any guesses of what we are creating?

While visiting recently, my grand daughter mentioned her class project 

of creating a pyramid and the ideas she already had. 

 I suggested a fabric pyramid and she excitedly headed for my scrap bag.

She  traced the shape her dad had created onto fusible stabilizer,

 choose fun fabrics, ironed them, then while in my lap,  machine quilted  her creation. 

She/We were delighted with the end result.

Granddaughters & I Making Fabric Valentine

Watching my granddaughters toss fabric remnants from my batik bin in the air with glee and one says, "It's so soft!" makes for a fun afternoon.  Creating their color choices into a Fabric Valentine together to send to someone special  and then them taking turns sitting in my lap to guide the fabric through the machine is priceless.
