Stripes And Hoops.
Posted on | September 12, 2025 | 5 Comments
More like strips than stripes, but either way, it works.
These are the last couple of strippies made for donation. I will pass them over in the next few weeks. I will then start up again in January or February, if they still want them.
First up, one for the dogs.
The piece was given to me last year and it took a while to decide how to use it.
I used a piece for the binding that was left over from a previous quilt, and the backing was in my stash.
The next strippie was hard to match colours.
I only had a single piece with the seagulls and didn’t want to cut it smaller. I ended up using greys and mottled blues.
I found a blue gingham the right size for the backing, and a simple blue with white spot for the binding.
I have ended up with 26 donation quilts, and most have been made completely from my stash. That’s a bit scary! But good to be able to use it up.
I have also been playing with little hoops.
This is a collection of three from Fig’n’Berry.
I have posted the bear before, but only completed the Santa and Reindeer this week.
They are a gorgeous set.
I then played with a small scrap of fabric left over from a quilt from last year, and put it in a hoop as well.
That’s all the finishes for this week. The weekend is shaping up well for time outside in the garden. Next weekend involves a bit of running around with two grandies in basketball grand finals on different nights. At least that way we get to watch both.
Enjoy your weekend.
Cheers, Karen

Catching up on my blog reading. The blue and white quilt is perfect! The strips, the dotty binding and the soft backing! And your felt work is always delightful! Enjoy the time with your grandchildren
I love the quilts… that’s a great amount done this year (does your stash look less????) It’s amazing how far fabric goes. I think I need to take a page out of your book and try and do more of that next year. YOur Christmas hoops are just lovely

I love your Christmas hoops. Your stripe quilts are a great way to showcase some lovely fabrics and a great way to use up some thinner strips. They look fantastic.
That’s an amazing amount of donation quilts Karen. Congratulations on getting so many made – there will lots of happy little kiddies as a result. The Fig ‘n’ Berry ornaments are so cute and such a fun idea to embellish the wee piece of fabric like that.
I do like your strippy quilts, I think I’ll gave to try it myself. Such a great idea for donation quilts. Are the WOF, about cot size?
