This year, for our sewing days with Stacia and Deloise, we are all working on patterns from the same book – Little Handfuls of Scraps – that we bought on our sewing trip last June. Stacia is working through the patterns as they come in the book, Deloise is picking and choosing which one she wants to make and I’m going through the patterns alphabetically.

The pattern called for very tiny pieces and I knew that my hands, and maybe my mind, wouldn’t be able to handle it. So I enlarged the pattern and, except for the time it took, I was able to manage.

For me, the January sewing date overlapped into February before I finished the piece. The quilting is very simple – just straight lines on either side of the long seams.

I think it is a nice addition to the stairwell collection.
