Back in September while I was super pregnant at The Creative Connection, I had the pleasure of eating several meals (and laughing, a lot of laughing) with Jennifer Keltner, the editor of American Patchwork and Quilting, Quilts and More, etc.
One night at dinner Jennifer mentioned that she had and idea for Joanna and me. 8 months (and a baby) later we got it all figured out with Jill and the Q&M team, and it just so happened to start in the current (summer) issue.
(Yes, I'm a little behind. And yes, Joanna totally scooped me weeks ago. That darn Joanna...)
Anyhow, here's the jist of it. In each of the next 6 issues of Quilts and More Joanna and I are going to make projects from a specific group of scraps. For the summer issue, we invited our friend Brenda to join us (Hi Bren!) and we had one fat quarter and 1 charm pack to design something fun. I made three baby bibs,
Joanna made a darling (and simple!) table runner,
and Brenda made an adorable pincushion,
all from Joanna's Buttercup line for Moda.
I've had a few people ask, and nope, that is not my baby. Close though! This one is mine:
(love him!)
If you would like to make any of these projects, the instructions are in the summer 2011 issue of Quilts and More, and Joanna even whipped up a few kits to go with it.
