ScrapHappy April

Another batch of scraps given a new life…

It’s the day my friend Gun in Sweden and I host ScrapHappy, a day for showing something made from scraps.

This month, I was clearing up my sewing room after completing Signed, Tealed & Delivered. There were literally dozens of snippets of fabric in all shades of teal, plus a few that definitely weren’t! As I laid them on my cutting table to sort them and put them away, they started to come together under my eyes, and an idea took shape. This month’s ScrapHappy idea is a pretty scrappy mug rug for the lovely Emily, my contact at Ovarian Cancer Australia. I think she’ll like it, don’t you?

ScrapHappy is open to anyone using up scraps of anything – no new materials. It can be a quilt block, pincushion, bag or hat, socks or a sculpture. Anything made of scraps is eligible. If your scrap collection is out of control and you’d like to turn them into something beautiful instead of leaving them to collect dust in the cupboard, why not join us on the 15th of each month? Either email me at the address on my Contact Me page, or leave a comment below. You can also contact Gun via her blog to join. We welcome new members. You don’t have to worry about making a long term commitment or even join in every month, just let either of us know a day or so in advance if you’re new and you’ll have something to show, so we can add your link. Regular contributors will receive an email reminder three days before the event.

Here are the links for everyone who joins ScrapHappy from time to time (they may not post every time, but their blogs are still worth looking at).
