Christmas sewing

Hello Everyone,

I've been playing with Christmas fabrics lately. Making a few things for gifts, or decoration for the house. I haven't decided yet what I am going to do with this cute wall hanging/candle mat.



I wanted to make a wreath and using some 2.5" squares popped into my head, so I played around and came up with this design. Would it look cute with some novelty button sewn around it?

Here is the mug rug and cup cozy I made for my quilty friend on my forum, QATW. We made each other one, so now I am waiting for mine to come in the mail. These are fun, quick projects that are nice to trade.



I have a feeling more of these poinsetta flowers are in the future ;) I used the Hex n More and the Sidekick ruler to make it.

I'll show you more next month on the Stitch it and Gift it blog hop.

Have a great day!

The holidays are coming.

Hello All,

Fall weather is setting in; cool mornings and warm afternoons. The leaves haven't started to turn just yet, but they will be soon. I always enjoy the change of season :)

You know the Holidays are coming soon. The quilters, makers and gifters are starting to make gifts and do secret sewing. And my favorite blog hops are coming up.

Here is a sneak peak of my middle son's quilt top, that I've finally finished. It came out so good, I know he is going to love it! You can see the rest of this quilt on my day in the Stitch it and Gift it blog hop on Nov 14th.




I'm making a mug rug and coffee cozy too, that will be a gift for a fun swap I am doing on my quilting form, Quilting around the World.  I've got some cute Christmas fabrics to use.



And then, on Dec 5th, you can stop in and see another one of my family's favorite cookies, in the annual Virtual cookie exchange blog hop, hosted by Carol over at Just Let me Quilt.


 

Thank you Carol! This is always a fun one :)

I'm also working on 2 of my WIP scrap projects that I started this Summer too. So enough to keep me busy. I'l pop in and show you progress when I have it. 


The white in the top box is the background, this is going to be another Irish Stars quilt. The bottom is the Film at Five project I started this past summer, the gray on the right will be the background.

Have a great day!
