A Schnibbling We'll Go. . .

Last month my friend Diana and I joined a group of Schnibbling Ladies at Thimbles and Threads. Our group meets monthly. I've seen all the schnibble inspiration around blog land for quite a while now so I thought I'd finally get in on the FUN.

I had good intentions on getting my quilt done this last month but it's summer and it's been filled with fun and other important deadlines. I though I'd have time to finish it up before class last night but we're leaving for Oregon this morning and I was doing housework, laundry, and packing for our trip.

I decided to use Lizzy House by Anna Griffith for Baum Textiles. I also added in a few other great fabrics for a total of 21 prints. I fell in love with this fabric. It's just so cute and happy!

Here are a few pictures of my progress. . .






For those of you who don't know what Schnibble quilts are you can find out more about them by checking out this BOOK by Carrie Nelson. Carrie also has an assortment of individual patterns for small quilts using 5" and 10" squares. You can also visit the official website HERE.

Schnibble: noun - A scrap of fabric; a leftover bit of cloth; a small piece. The word has a German origin and is found primarily in German settlements in the Midwest.

Now on to the Schnibble's Parade. . .

Here's my friend Diana with her Schnibbles Roundabout Quilt.

This cute gal above made these darling pin cushions and yoyo bracelet.
She belongs to the YoYo Mama's group at Material Girls.

I love this Schnibbles pincushion made out of an assortment of Christmas Fabric.


When I get back from Our Family Reunion I will have plenty of pictures to share with all of you. Also, when I get back I will have just a week left of summer before school starts on the 25th of August so I will be spending my last big bulk of time sewing, quilting, and creating. I have a few things up my sleeve.

While I'm gone I will have limited access to a computer so I probably won't be blogging until I get back but, don't be surprised if I drop in and leave comments here and there. I love trying to keep up with everyone. Keep Keeping On!!!
