Another Project Roll

I made another project roll for a birthday gift. I followed the same procedure as previous ones, all of which were inspired by Vonna Pfeiffer's video tutorial.

I used a 1 1/2" mailing tube from the stationery supply store, two pieces of 20" x 32" fabric for the outside and lining, and a piece of batting the same size. I also needed a 3" x 6" piece of the outer fabric and batting for the tube ends, and two 32" lengths of 1/2" grosgrain ribbon (satin works, too).

I've had this fabric in my stash a long time - years, in fact. 

Although it took a bit longer than the hour and a half Vonna claimed, it was a pretty quick and easy project.

The quilting was what took the longest. To save time, I quilted the lines 4 1/4" apart.

The small piece of fabric and batting are for the circles that cover the ends of the mailing tube.

It rolls up nicely.

And ties with the grosgrain ribbon.

Project rolls are great for rolling and carrying an ongoing project or in my case, a place to keep stitching that has been completed and is awaiting to be fully finished.

Good grief! I just found a bunch of FOs that I had forgotten about and a couple that I had been looking for.

This is one of my favourite Peanuts fabrics.

It's just the cutest. 

Let's see what all was in there. 

Many of these were stitched YEARS ago - definitely pre-COVID.

I wondered what happened to the Starburst Canadian flag and the Teresa Kogut "Bee Kind" sampler. That was the first model I ever stitched for her. She has the model and this one is my re-stitch for myself. The chart of that little pumpkin was a project I was looking at today - totally forgetting I had already stitched it years ago. 

I wondered what had happened to some of these...

Must. (Fully) Finish, More. Projects.
