The workshop is open


I feel like an elf in a workshop
Lol trodding along here and there 
Binding is being sewn to the placemats


A little frankenbag play is happening
I quilted this piece onto batting only as I will line the bag and hopefully make pockets too


And I guess I worked my helper too hard 

He made a ton of binding and was so pooped he fell asleep on the job

Foxes almost done


I cut and sewed this little cutie
Another fox
The hardest part so far has been finding the right orange fox color 
I cut my pieces longer so i can trim up later and i added side pieces of background so I can get the size i want

I think they will finish around 8x9
A  good size mugrug 
Look at your fav block sizes in a different way

I love this fox as a mugrug
Soooooo cute


Some binding is almost ready to finish them up too
Soon my pretties....

A fun little project


Who out there is making gifts for Christmas?
Raise Your hands

I see.....how many of you run out of ideas?
Uh huh......yep 

How about a cute table runner?

Grab some Christmas fabric and lets go.
I used up some 5 inch charms I had
And cut them down to 2.5 squares

My fav size to play with
I sewed rows of 6 of them together
Twelve rows to be exact 
Then found fabric in my stash that coordinated and cut two end squares 

Sew them up and voila

A table runner top is born 


See how cute and fun?

If you have a container of 2.5 squares like I do, You could have fun pulling reds and greens

Or how about a light gray or silvery theme?

Blue snowy theme?

Brown deer theme

3 tones of same color for gingham effect to match someones kitchen

See? The ideas are endless.
Makes a very easy cute gift for a neighbor or friend
(My kitchen is black gingham, just sayin lol)
I have even made other coordinating items to make a bigger gift

Potholders, decorated towels, placemats, napkins, hot trivets are just a few ideas. 


Throw in a layered jar cookie mix
Or a fav bread mix.
Nice gift, useful, easy and not too bad on the purse either.
A win win all around.

Quilt it up and bind and put in the gift box. 
Doesnt that feel good?
