Quick Stuff to Sew magazine & win one!

IMG_6064

Just a ‘quick’ post while I write a more thorough one on my weekend watching the judging at Quilt National.

As you may have seen in last Christmas’ post, I made dozens of mittens from recycled sweaters that I felted. I sent the directions into Threads magazine with many samples for photography this summer. Yesterday I got the finished issue and found that I had the BACK COVER!!

It should be on newsstands soon so pick up a copy. Lots of interesting projects to make for yourself or as gifts. My Koos loop scarf is also in there too….a fabulous fast gift to make!

Leave a comment on some projects you’d like to see in next issue and I’ll select a winner for a free copy of this magazine on Oct. 6! But please leave your email address so I can contact you.

  1. First, I want to say I've made several short versions of the Koos scarf, so thanks for that! Your mittens look so cute!

    Hmm... How about a simple wrap with different ways to wear it? I even have a simple idea, but I bet there are much better ideas.
