Bird Houses And Teddies.
Posted on | March 8, 2025 | 7 Comments
I have continued to make more of the Strippie quilts with fabric that has waited patiently in my stash. I will get a few more made for donations, in between some of my own quilts. This one stood out with its bright colours and bird houses.
The birdhouse fabric and the flowers on the blue background are the same fabric range.
I added the stripes from some stash fabric.
The backing is also from that range. I also used it for the binding.
It is lovely to have another ready for the donation pile.
I spent some time this week with friends making a few cards. Very handy to have spares.
I had some panels that were supposed to be used for cushions, but I couldn’t see us using them as such. I saw another post from https://blog.maryquilts.com/, where she uses leftover blocks or small amounts of fabric to make teddy and doll blankets to donate. So I thought I would try the idea, too.
There were two of them.
And then I had to buy some teddies to go with them.
I think I will have to watch this as it could easily become quite addictive.
We have a holiday weekend here and the weather is quite warm, which will be great for all those holidaying, especially at the beach.
Enjoy your weekend.
Cheers, Karen

You have been very productive. I love the Teddies and their little quilts. Such a sweet idea. And the strippie quilts are always so effective.`
Oh my, yes those teddy’s and their blankets would certainly start to be addictive! Love the stripey quilt too – a great way to use up some of your stash…

Teddy bear quilts for teddy bears!!! Too cute!!! I’ve noticed that on Mary’s blog, too, and she surely is addicted, in a good way! Cute fabrics in your strippie quilts, too!
Such a good way to use up some of that stash, and I’m sure your donations quilts will be much loved & much used. Love your cards, my mum made many for all of us & I treasure mine.
Another bright and very happy strippy quilt. The teddies are beautiful.
Looks like you have found out a great way of using up your stash! I need to stock up on some batting and then do something similar.
Your strippy quilt is great, it certainly shows that simple designs can be very effective. I rather like the strippy idea for donation quilts. And imagine the joy of a little someone receiving a teddy with a teddy quilt, such a great idea,
