Several months ago, I was at my Local Quilt Shop (LQS)–Bear Patch Quilting Company in White Bear Lake…and saw a full size quilt of scissors hanging on the wall…
While I have been working hard to avoid impulse buying….I HAD to have this pattern!
The pattern, by Lori Holt for a very large quilt (Nine sets of these scissors) is no longer available on her Etsy site–but she does have another pattern that includes the scissors…
I quickly stitched up a single pair of scissors…using this adorable Tape Measure fabric–also found at Bear Patch…and then I was on to MY FAVORITE PART-planning the free motion quilting…
I chose Robison-Anton Twister Tweed for embellishment…”Gingher and 2014”
And then began free motion quilting…I added Spools (tutorial HERE) in the handles and between the blades and Flower Power (Tutorial HERE) everywhere else. I left the border free of quilting–the patterned fabric didn’t need any more embellishment.
In several uninterrupted hours, I had finished this little quilt (binding and all) to hang in my sewing room…(NO UFOs, thank you!)
I had a great long afternoon in my sewing room….but I was supposed to be “sprucing up my sewing room” by cleaning….
There’s always tomorrow for cleaning…
