Tempted By Ticker Tape

One of the best things about being part of the sewing blogosphere family is the wonderful creativity out there which inspires me to try new things... like ticker tape quilts. Isn't this lot lovely?

I finally plucked up the courage this weekend to give the ticker tape a go, as a trial run for perhaps a mug rug for my Goodie Swap partner. So, without further ado, let me introduce you to Tweedle Dum & Tweedle Dee:

I made them for our friends who have two girls & a boy, that's why the wee sun bonnet sue characters are there. I used zigzag stitching to keep them nicely in place. These were really fun, quick & easy to make & a great way to use up tiny scraps.

So if you haven't tried ticker tape quilting yet, give it a go, its a lovely way to spend an hour or two!
