I needed a couple of sewing machine covers for a couple of machines I have that were cover less for too long! I had made a few blocks from the Splendid Sampler Blocks that were sewing related applique blocks and so decided these would be perfect one cover. I did a Mystery BOM from Deana's blog,
Dreamworthy Quilts in 2014, and thought I should use some blocks from that BOM to make the other machine cover. I actually made these 2 machine covers double sided, so that when I pick them up I can just put them back without having to determine what side it the front. That way they look different once in a while.
Pat Sloan from the Splendid Sampler is having a contest using one block right now, so I am linking my cover there. I did use 2 blocks, so maybe I will be disqualified? I thought I would share them in her linky anyhow. I enjoyed making all these blocks and the sewing machine covers too.

Good morning Daryl - VERY COOL project!!
ReplyDeleteI love these. the pictures are so whimsical and fun. this is a great use for these images because you can really enjoy them and there not lost in a large quilt. I would smile looking at them every time I would sit down to use my machine if I had covers that were that adorable. great job. of course all your little touches of embroidery and choice of fabrics make it even nicer.
ReplyDeleteThose covers are just perfect! What a great use of orphan blocks.
ReplyDeleteIt's the return of "Lil Miss Sew & Sew"! As Tara says, I love your use of fun images in your quilting projects; it makes them so much more personal and unique. Someone should really open up a shop with that name...
ReplyDeleteThese are DARLING!! I especially love those Dresden rotary cutters. Way too stinkin' cute! I need to make covers for my serger and coverstitch machines, as well as for two Featherweights. But I never use the one I made for my main Bernina machine, because I'm always SEWING with that one!
ReplyDeleteSew very clever of you to use your quilt blocks in your machine covers. I love that they are two-sided for change-ups. Great cheerful covers you have created. May Marches Along...
