Schnibbles


Do you remember me telling you about the quilt patterns I bought a few weeks ago at the CUTEST quilt shop on the planet?  One of them is called State Fair and it is a Schnibble. I know I am probably way out of the loop in finding out about these adorable little patterns.  I absolutely adore working on smaller projects, and this little pattern is so fun. It is made using 2 charm packs (Marmalade) and each block finishes at 5".

I have been swamped with etsy sewing, and as a reward for finishing an order, I make a Schnibble block.  Schnibbling is my new word for FUN sewing. Not that I don't enjoy sewing orders for my shop, but I love having a project that is new and different.

I found two books full of Schnibble patterns at Joann's and promptly used my 50% off coupons to buy them. I think that starting in January November, I am going to make a new Schnibble each month. They are so perfect for wall hangings and table toppers. And I LOVE the idea of buying new charm packs each month for that month's Schnibble.

Thank you Carrie Nelson for such cute, little projects!!

    They are so cute! I was at my LQS and almost bought a pattern, but decided against it for now. I need to start on Christmas gifts. But I will be Schnibbling soon!

    How cute! And what a lovely idea to collect and make one each month! I love the creative treat of making something new too...exploring the fabric-y possibilities is such a joy.
    A delightful litle parcel has arived here today from your Happy Little Cottage!! The little pincushion is just as adorable in real life as on your blog.....thank you, I will so enjoy using it :)
    Have a wonderful weekend, Debbie!

    I've seen these books around, but never checked them out. Making one a month sounds like a great idea. Maybe you should have a Schnibble-along! Dang it, now I want that pattern!!!!!! Happy Sewing Debbie!

    I bought 3 Schnibbles patterns a few years ago, but have yet to do them. I think that they are "too stinkin' cute"! Thanks for sharing.

    Just lovely. I like little things that come together quickly, sometimes it is just so satisfying to get fast but gorgeous results.

    Hi, I'm a new follower and I just wanted to say I love your patchwork. I have just started to get back into doing some sewing and have started on a couple of patchwork cushions but they are nowhere near as professional or as beautiful as yours.
    Kind Regards

    Now you know I'm not a quilter, but I could be very tempted by one of these too! What fun, and a Schnibble a month, what a fab idea. Can't wait to see what you do :D
