If you're a teacher you know how I feel when I say, "School starts tomorrow! Kids included!" That means I haven't been pinning a whole lot. I've been cleaning and spiffing up my classroom.
Do you have a big pile of scraps? It's a problem that I've not been able to solve. How about a few scrap quilt tops and some other scrap uses?

It had been a while since I last pinned vintage sewing machines, but apparently they are popular pins. I now have 170 pins on my "vintage, machines" board. Here are a few examples...

I love all the rainbow colors in these quilts! And just look at those vintage sewing machines--better than hand sewing, but not by much. :)
Love your scrap quilts. You have some very inventive designs. I especially like the rainbow one. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a thoughtful comment.

I have loads of scraps, but I tried the RSC this year and after a couple of months had to admit that there are too many colours of which I have almost nothing. You can use your scraps for improv play.
