How Small Can It Get?

I've been toying around with ideas for the guild's boutique (thanks Pinterest for the ideas) and yesterday this is what I played with.


I had some small leftover squares from another project and thought I'd give it a go.  It's a disappearing four patch, but due to the small size, it looks more like a 16 patch.  I am also without my regular Bernina (getting prepped for new flooring) so the trusty Singer 15-91 got to play with me.

Fancy Folded Star

Last week quilting with the ladies, we had a workshop.  I learned how to fold the star and stitch it down.  I took it a bit further, added another star and some sparkles.  It finished out about 18 in. square.  Think it will go on the studio wall.

Tiny boxes

It's time to start creating items for my guild's boutique, so I've been toying around with tiny things.  One could be a tiny treasure box, the other I think will be a tooth fairy box. Neither takes a lot of materials, in fact I went straight to my scrap pile and started with this.

Next I cut two triangles from the fabric, one from batting, glued them together with glue stick.

Then satin stitched around the edge.  Remember  these are "prototypes" so my satin stitching isn't quite up to par.  Fold up and match sides two at a time and stitch part way.  After that is done, fold down the tops, add bling or whatever and you are done.  Under 30 minutes start to finish.

Here they are.  Isn't the baby one cute?
