Spreading quilty joy one stitch at a time!

Quilted Sewing Machine Cover

September 15, 2015 by Shannon 4 Comments



This project really started because I had
two triangles of this really cute Dear Stella Piper Dots print  leftover after I made
bias tape and I just had to make a project out of them!  



Coincidentally (or fate – who knows?!) I
started working on my first quilt around that very time.  I was so taken with my first quilt, but I
didn’t want to start my first quilting experience directly on my newly pieced
together quilt top.  
I had been meaning to make myself a sewing machine cover to replace the ever so stylish plastic one that came with my machine.  I thought – this is it! 



I decided to just start piecing together the
left over fabric from my quilt.  Funny
how things sometimes just come together organically when you let your
creativity go 🙂
  

 

As you can see the dots
triangles take center stage on the front of my sewing machine cover!  Since they weren’t exactly the same size,
they don’t match up perfectly, but I purposely left it to remind myself that
quilting isn’t about being perfect – which really tests my perfectionist
tendencies!!



Something so simple and yet it brings me
lots of happiness every time I remove it to start my day of sewing and replace
it to mark the end of my day.
