My creative space... all in pieces

Pieces, pieces are dominating every available (and unavailable) creative space at chez clutterpunk.

Pincushion pieces (about to be packed up to take to the Northern Craft Bonanza tonight):


Kaleidoscope pieces (slowly sashiko-ing my way around the circles):



Rectangular scrap pieces sitting in my newly pieced scrap-gatherer, which are being cut into varying widths and sorted into paper bags: 

(They are being amassed for what I am calling my 'scrap management quilt', which will hopefully look something like the quilt below, found in THIS book):


Let's not forget the yo-yos:


And these pieces, lying around waiting to become something pretty to be given away in a few weeks... maybe to you.


Really, don't you think it's high time I started putting the pieces together?

Please drop into Kirsty's place if you'd like to play along with My Creative Space this week.

  3. The quilt looks like a great idea. and Woohoo for Yoyo's. I did some scrap management today when I finished the belt for my Ben 10 dress... it's an Oobie Belt? hmm. I used all the green scraps left over from the buntings and it looks pretty freaking awesome. It reminds me of your green quilting you were doing before!!

    Now get those crafts started woman!!

  7. Scrap management quilt ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. Stop scrapping about and get moving on that one - an urgent order. Now I'll stop being quite so bossy - but you're freakin' me out on the gorgeous pincushion pieces. Haven't started mine. As yet, entirely bereft of a single pinny notion...

  17. So many beautiful pieces... do you not end up procrastinating about which one to give your time to..??!! Looking forward to seeing some pieces all together.

    Giggled but love your scrap management quilt... great idea for lots of reasons, like using up scraps and minimal stress about colour matching.
