What do you do with a shoe box full of Charm Squares???
Well, since i really haven't sewed in quite a while,
I decided to start at the beginning and just
sew squares into twosies and then foursies...
I chose mostly flowery ones and
paired them with off white squares.
Practicing sewing straight and getting that
seam allowance to behave!!👀😊
So far, I have twosies
paired up and pinned together
ready to become 4-sies...
That is the extent of my sewing for today...
*******************
Then I got a little extra present from
my DH for my birthday yesterday:
It is just perfect for cropping
my little pictures for my glue book...
Here are a few finished pages from my
En Masse Journal:
My finished "Books" pages
and
Our lovely "Hands"
and
One page finished of the double spread of
Fun "Shoes"😉
Have a wonderful weekend
Hugs, Julierose

Just started this one --will let you know how it goes...
I have a small paper trimmer on my wish list, too! Twos and fours are a good way to use the charm square stash. One seam (or trim) at a time . . .
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to start sewing again! four patches are so fun. I love my paper trimmer, it comes in handy. Happy Belated Birthday.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday for earlier in the week! I'm sure you had a lovely day. I've been given lots of 5in squares, and have gathered up a couple of easy patterns to deal with them, sometime.......
ReplyDeleteBelated wishes for a Happy Birthday, Julierose. What a thoughtful gift from your husband. No doubt it will be well-used.
ReplyDeleteThat seems like a great idea for your charm squares. I'm looking forward to seeing your four-patches.
Your pages look great!
Belated Birth Day wishes! Your DH obviously knows you well and knows what you would like.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you'll be able to get a good-sized project out of all those charm squares.
