I don't look to make anything other than quilts, but sometimes little projects just sneak up and grab me. I had been rummaging through a box of Kaffe scraps given to me (super!) and a lot of the strips were under 1 1/2". I had tried some Jack's Chain blocks and was using the strips for the nine patches, but I balked on it. More on that another time.
So, in my internet searches for scraps usage, I found tutorials for twine and rope bowls. I tried both and they are both fun. The Rope bowl Youtube from the UK where you use both hands to twist is the superior way to go. Whenever I have a spare 15 min or so, I pull out the box of strips and go twisting away. I never thought I could sew a rope bowl, but my trusty Singer 401 just claws right through it perfectly.

| Of course, Rosie also had a use for the scraps in the box. |

| Isn't the twine full of lovely colors? I just keep making it and will figure how to use it later. |

| Nice start! |

I love that colorful twine!
Definitely a nice start with your rope bowl! This is something I've never made, I doubt I would have the patience. you obviously do and you have such a beautiful helper!! You scored well with the Featherweight Linda.
