Default Using up pink scraps ...

I had all these little scraps that I really had an attachment to. They were from my mom's stash and some from a lady at my church I adored and now they are both gone to heaven. So, I thought if I made this sewing machine cover with those scraps I could remember them every day I spend in the sewing room. I am not a big crazy quilt fan, but that is how they had to be set if I were to use the scraps in the largest form. I made it pretty heavily quilted so the sun couldn't bother my machine that sets there near a window.

Hope you like it.
