Handwork




                                     
Hand stitching is so satisfying.

I love adding contrasting color to patchwork!

and when the project is small...
well...
I goes so FAST!!!

It made me REALLY want to get going on a bigger quilt!
Just need to get a quilt sandwich made and get GOING!!
Just.
Haha!

These little mug rugs will be gifted soon
with a mug!
Yeah for simple practical little gifts!!
Homemade makes me happy!



Homemade is also nice in the kitchen.
This is an excellent pie that takes NO TIME at all.


I bought a ready made crust
and filled it up.
Easy peasy.

Little scraps and orphans

I don't get tired of making practical potholders.

It makes me happy to give little things away
using UP leftover scraps of pretty fabric.

Even Orphan blocks make great little mugrugs!

I was happy to use this lovely plaid on the back that I've been saving!

One thing is for SURE!
I will use up my old towels... 
before I even make a DENT in the SCRAP BASKET!!!

five by five

I like to make little somethings for the new members at my church.
It's usually a couple of potholders and the church cookbook....
but this is for a young man who doesn't do much cooking.

I had fun piecing all those little 1 1/2" squares!

Little tiny pieces are SO wonderful!


The back of my little coaster did NOT come out as planned.
This is the wrong side of a lovely piece of blue/gold fabric.

When I realized my mistake....
I decided to just GO WITH IT
and avoid the seam ripper.

No one will EVER know.




After all....
the back side will be hiding MOST of the time anyway!!!
;)
