Despite my cold I spent a little time in my studio this week. Mostly I attempted to clean and organize which is proving to be an impossible, never ending task.

| the front |
I found this piece of linen that had EPP hexies machine stitched on with a little bit of hand stitching echoing the hexies and turned it into another iPad cover. I remember (but not sure exactly when) trying EPP with scraps from
Leo's Peace Baby quilt. There's a stack left waiting for another project....

| love the fabric on the back |
The backing fabric is also from
Malka Dubrawsky; this line is called Outside In; the hexie fabric is A Stitch in Color. The
iPad tutorial is by One Shabby Chick.

| Christmas coasters |
Scraps of batting and Christmas charm squares make quick coasters. I love mug rugs, but sometimes I just want something small for my beverage. Especially when I'm sewing because I don't have extra space near my machine.

| This is my favorite Christmas fabric |
Stack four coasters, tie with baker's string and they look kind of pretty.

Throw in a spool of thread and some Clover clips and you have a nice little happy for a friend!
Thanks for stopping by,
Like you, I prefer small mug rugs. Yours look terrific - thanks for the good ideas.
ReplyDeleteCoasters are better for your waistline too of course! That extra space on a mugrug is calling out for a cookie!
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics look great with the linen. It is so satisfying being able to create a gift from what you have at home and not always having to run out to the shops.
ReplyDeleteHad to stop by because I spy a hexie! Cute
ReplyDeleteWorked on my blocks this week. May even link up. Imagine!
I love the coasters, I need to make some gifts!!!
